westlawfadeaway: Thanks! I had mine diagnosed about 6 years ago now. Prior to that, I and my friends/loved ones thought that I had an awful lot of isolated orthopedic problems~ I mean many many. The hydration point is excellent. It does help to drink huge amounts of water. Weather changes are what kills me. What I do for a living is also mondo stressful, but, I like to think that it is the good kind of stress. Problem is that RA does not know from good vs. bad stress. It all makes my joints and connective tissues hurt like an SOB and think that they have to mobilize their little microbic armies to fight off invaders who aren't really there.

MMJ really really helps, both with the chronic pain and with my mood when it all gets to me. It is such a bad joke that the feds don't get it. I truly wish I could share the pain with a few judges and maybe they would understand.

btw- thanks for the really nice PM you sent me when I first got on here. I am West LA based as well and, you know how I feel about the Grateful Dead.

Thanks again for the help and thoughts. This disease is a real bitch because I look healthy and vigorous and like I am in great health, so a lot of people wonder why I go home after work and don't want to do things and why I need to rest so much on the weekends and go to bed early. Also, this disease won't kill you- it just makes you feel that it is.
