Pain, sickness, stress and depression. No exaggeration there.  And yet, I feel optimistic.  Why?  Because God is with me, and the rheumatologist at the teaching hospital ROCKS!!!  I asked him if he’d be mine, and he said yes!  My new rheumy I mean.  Big [...]]]> http://arimayasheart.com/2010/03/14/optimistic-and-reconnecting/feed/ 6 http://arimayasheart.com/2010/02/04/the-doc-with-some-bach/ http://arimayasheart.com/2010/02/04/the-doc-with-some-bach/#comments Thu, 04 Feb 2010 19:11:03 +0000 Michelle http://arimayasheart.com/?p=433

I like this PSA.  I think the doc is coolio.

Enjoy,

I’ll be back,

I am bed-bound at the moment and pretty darn low.  I have written and revised and rehashed a post until is was about 2 sentences long to cut out all of my whining and/or negativity as my body is really kicking the crap out of me.  I’m just going to post this awesome video about [...]]]> http://arimayasheart.com/2010/01/13/the-power-of-10/feed/ 0 http://arimayasheart.com/2009/12/10/docs-playin-peek-a-boo-with-diagnoses/ http://arimayasheart.com/2009/12/10/docs-playin-peek-a-boo-with-diagnoses/#comments Thu, 10 Dec 2009 22:05:42 +0000 Michelle http://arimayasheart.com/?p=355 I have some good news-(drumroll please) I finally got Medicare ( woo hoo!!!!)!!!  I went 3 years with no insurance after I lost my job.  The amount of money I owe for medical bills is astronomical.  I think I can safely say that my credit isn’t credible anymore.

This video asks to forward on to friends and family and this is the fastest and easiest way to do it!

I heart the Arthritis Foundation!

I’ve been gone for a few months.  I’ll go into that in another post, loooong story.  I would like to apologize to all the readers who left [...]]]> http://arimayasheart.com/2009/10/19/329/feed/ 2 http://arimayasheart.com/2009/04/13/easter-naps-fat-legs-and-bowie/ http://arimayasheart.com/2009/04/13/easter-naps-fat-legs-and-bowie/#comments Mon, 13 Apr 2009 18:26:44 +0000 Michelle http://arimayasheart.com/?p=275 I spent this Easter in bed, dozing off and on with the laptop sliding off of my legs every now and then.  Not my ideal Easter.  The Big C cooked a delicious ham with all the fixins- and I slept.  The kids had an egg hunt, [...]]]> http://arimayasheart.com/2009/04/13/easter-naps-fat-legs-and-bowie/feed/ 2 http://arimayasheart.com/2008/12/11/2009-advocacy-and-kids-summit-and-stipends-to-go/ http://arimayasheart.com/2008/12/11/2009-advocacy-and-kids-summit-and-stipends-to-go/#comments Fri, 12 Dec 2008 02:43:24 +0000 Michelle http://arimayasheart.com/?p=232 Did you know that over 46 million adults have arthritis and over 300,000 kids do as well?
