Thank you ya my skin doesn't like climbing chalk much either but a girl has to do what a girl has to do I think the key to this thing is getting on top of it and getting the inflamation under controle. once i get there it will be a matter of staying there.it's forcing me to get all healthy and shit

:lmao:

I am sorry to hear about your diganosis but it is so good to know there are other climbers facing the same kind of thing. I had a shot of Enbrel last week. It helped a little, but not as much as i wanted it to. The doc said there are some other things to try. I really want to get where you are cross your fingers for me!!

Sorry to hear about that Muffy... I have had psoriosis for almost 20 years and a lot of people (except my dr) kept telling me it was cause of drinking beer. I quit drinking beer and I still have the damn stuff. Not sure if the photo light therapy helps your type but it does wonders for mine. Although it is a hassle going in to the derm office to tan 2 or 3 x a week. Good luck. i was diagnosed with Psoriasis when i was 6 or so. it is one of those things that comes and goes for me. I have had whole years with out outbreaks. I have noticed over the past year that the arthritus pain comes and goes with the skin condition for me. Some people think that psoriasis is caused by alergies to food or beer or whatever, and i think that can be part of it, but the research so far has been inconclusive. it is considered an auto immune disorder. if it really bothers you you could try an elimination diet, but it sounds like the sunlight helps you... I have considered a tanning booth or something, becuase the sun does help.

thats a great plan!!! i don't think the Things would go for it though.

Thing One is old enough that he wakes me up at midnight now

my goal in 2008 is to play outside more than i did in 2007

i think we are going to stay home and watch the ball drop on the tube with the kiddos. It sounds kinda quite but i am realy looking forward to it

Kick butt! You guys FUCKING RULE!!!! thats why i post here

xoxoxooxoxo thank you so much!!!!

so true Mat, we all have something to face. Thank you Sherri. I really feel like i need to keep a posative attitude. it is really easy to get angry and give up. it is way too easy to just sit down and stop fighting the good fight. I need as many people on my team as i can get. i need reminders as to why i keep miving. I am still terrified... but i am also relived. the beast has a name so it can be conqured.

okay so i haven't sent my check yet. I will this week though!!!

thats the plan. I have a great doc whos son is one of the realy active climbers at my gym. He gets that i need my life back and he has the same goals for me that i have. i have a LOT of hope.

i have never been a great climber. and it pisses me off that i can't even climb as hard now as i did 3 years ago. fuck i can't even open a jar of spageti sauce right now. it is humilating to have to ask for help like that. that said, i went to the gym and climbed today... felt damn good to make it to the top on a 5.8. it wasn't a hard 5.8 and it could have been called Bob for all i care... it just felt good to climb to the top.

Uh....look again. that is Damn tastey. WOW!!

the worst present i got this year was a trip to the Rheumatologist. He seemed to agee that i am most likely suffering from Psoriatic Arthritis. read info here

I am still working at it. it is not going all that great as i have had a hard time over the holidays. I am doing better at limiting the amount of sugar i am eating and i am trying to focus on having some fruit if i need a treat. thanks for asking Pandora dear. I hope you are doing well. I miss seeing you around :kisss:

my boyfriend is Italian and from Ohio. he makes the best sauce i have ever ever ever had ever period. I love a man who will cook for me not yet although i am hoping he brings some home... he is in Ohio right now. Glad he found his way to the west coast. (we all do, eventually, it seems) Sounds like you've got a keeper there, Muffy! Has he made those neat buckeye candies for you yet? Peanut butter and chocolate. Mmmmmmm....

Happy holidays everyone!!! I am all done celebrating. did the x-mas thing on friday with the kids the boyfriend and my folks. we had baked rigatoni...not very traditional but AWSOME. gave the kids their gifts and got in trouble for giving my man too many things. both my parents loved their gifts. I spent saturday celebrating the solstice with a dear friend we stayed up all night. it was really fun. may everyones year be filled with joy and love. xoxoxoox muffin

i hope everyone is okay.

Muffy, Birth certificates come with an expiration date. I'm just letting you know, in case there was something you really wanted to do and you were worried about a time limit... whatever i don't finish in this life i will work on in the next.... expiration dates are all relative... however ordering a shirt is something i would like to accomplish in THIS life

jeezzz some one should e-mail me when there is a time limit.... do you have any womens t's left?

PAAAHHHHLLLLLLLEEEEEEZZZZZZ!!!!!! both styles and i will buy both. i have money to burn too so hurry please
