A post script about my joint/muscle pain: I went to see my GP again and she is pretty miffed. She did mention a few GI disorders that can cause joint pain but it was kind in passing. I started thinking about those more and decided to look into it a bit on my own. Gluten intorelance can have joint pain symptoms. I am not convinced that is what it is but I figure it is worth trying. So I am grudingly trying a gluten free diet for a month (one week in today), boo! My doc has referred me to a physician who specializes in Fibromyalgia to get her opinion on my chronic pain. I have not set that up yet. I should probably go see a naturopathic physician as well, though I am sure they are going to want to mess more with my diet; double boo! :-) My pain is about the same. I had a flare up a few weeks ago that was pretty bad, and lasted a week and a half. But day to day, the joint pain is not terrible. It's always there, still maily my fingers, toes, wrist, ankles; less often neck, knees and elbows; but overall not too bad.
And bringing it back to Reagan: This is probably the first time our children have ever heard the word "diet" around here. I have mentioned my "special diet" to K and R and all day today Reagan would randomly say, "that's my speical diet." She also kept talking about her "special moments." Haha! She kills me!
