Hi all

Things have been crazy for me in a very good way lately .

First off I have begun getting shots in both knees called "syn visc" It's a solution of stuff that is supposed to replace the fluids around my joints . My knees and ankles stopped produceing the fluid in 1981 when i was 17 and got into a motorcycle wreck . So far I've had two out of three of the first set of shots . After I get my shots this comeing friday the syn visc is supposed to last up to 6 months . I"ve already begun to feel less pain in my knees when I walk or bend them

My rhumetologist has also put me on that new fibromyalgia drug "Lyrica" I never thought I'd say this about a single medication . But I've been takeing 75mg capsules twice a day for almost two weeks . At first I did have some side effects but they're all gone now and i feel better overall .

The last but best thing that happened was I got back together with my ex boyfriend . We had been engaged and liveing together for almost 4 years . Then my health got really bad and depression took over and my youngest , my son moved away from home . Then to make it all just too much for both of us Craig got really sick and ended up in the hospital . Well one thing led to another fight after fight and we broke up . Then for the past 2+ years Craig has been asking me to come back to him . Well I'm stubborn at the best of times and I was well beyond stuborn . But we kept our friendship through all of this . I went thru several very short term relationships ... Around two weeks ago I went in for the first shots in my knees and Craig came to stay with me because every time I begin a new medication we(my kids and Craig and several old timer biker friends never know how I'll do with the side effects) I'm still not sure when I finally realized that all this time he's been loveing me and I was just to pig headed to give in and tell him that I love him just as much as he loves me ... Sooo we're takeing things kinda slowly and the entire town of Chloride has been stopping by my place to tell me how happy they are that I've finally decided to be happy again .

Wow this has been a long post lol . but now everybody knows where I've been . Sorry I didn't reply to all the nice notes in my inbox .
