Rheumatoid Arthritis Support Group

Yes, brown butt cheeks and tatas. No tan lines allowed. lol.

Cata, that all over crappy feeling is how I get along with headaches. I'm big on hats and sunglasses on the beach and poolside.

I am no help in this department. I get sun poisoning, even in a tanning bed, I always have. When I was 8 or 9 I laid out for 20 minutes and had blisters the size of half dollars, Ouch!!!!! All I can say is lots of sunscreen, applied repeatedly during the day!!!!

Yes, on the sunscreen. Most people who tan alot don't realize it but you can still tan with a high sunscreen. While in Florida, I use nothing but 30 on face and 15 on body and still get really dark. Here I use 15 all the time. I cringe when I see people still using less then that or worse..the old baby oil and iodine.

Donna,

it is getting nearer and sounds like so much fun! I bet you will have a blast.

I wanted to go to The Keys this year but not to be. So tell us all about it when you get back.

Hugs

Vickie, what are you doing up? You sleep so bad, i'm sorry. I've been battling one of of my lovely opitcal headaches since early evening last night and slept like crap all night. Now it's to painful to even lay down. They're coming 3-4 days a week. Sucks.

Don't any one get upset...but do Black people get RA/OA/and Fibro?

Baby oil and iodine is a good memory...oh those scents!

Jdf....my daughter gets blistered too....My grampa's name was WHITE,

he must have blistered too....It was his Mother that was cherokee,

dad was Norweigen.

Have you been checked for glaucoma Donna?

Yes, just a month ago. Diagnosed with muscle inflammation behind the eyes caused from the arthritis. Probably early uvitis or neuritis is what he said. Also is probably what is causing the massive dry and burning eyes the last couple months. going thru lots of eye drops that i have never needed before.

Donna, i can picture you so well with big diva sunglasses - in fashion right now - and a glamorous hat, lazily passing the pages of a magazine next to the soothing going and coming sound of sea waves.....

I am using the eyedrops tooo....Need to check the eyes. Haven't

been in since lasik surgery in 2004...

Yes Donna....big glasses, feminine floppy hat, must have toes

polished........drink lots of water/lemon/cranberry......
