I have mentioned a stump neuroma several times but they all kind of look at me like I'm nuts. Neurologist says nothing can be done but meds, Ortho has sent me to another Ortho for 2nd opinion, and I had to go to the Rheumatologist to rule out RA so that I can be referred to the Pain Policlinic. It's been such a fun ride... runlaugheatpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09233445490233555647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-46510283842944108802018-11-04T23:02:22.277-06:002018-11-04T23:02:22.277-06:00We saw A star is born too and I agree-fantastic.

I can only imagine how much more you guys are getting. I'm not apathetic, in fact I'm probably way too involved in my head than I "should" be, but hey, it's still my birth country and I still feel very passionate about what is going on and how it affects my family. <br /><br />I'm glad you have a new formulation for your shot! That's awful that something supposed to help you actually was hurting you! You mention a "bee sting" feeling - that's actually what I was having with every step with my foot! I have meds for that and was referred to the rheumatologist but RA is mostly ruled out at this moment (I only have issues on one side of my body and mostly in my foot so I never thought I had RA). With my meds I don't have that feeling anymore, just weird been-to-the-dentist-and-the-shots-are-wearing-off feeling in my toe. <br /><br />2019 has only Liverpool RnR Half on the books. I'm also going to try for Chicago. Ron's already in, because he had a qualifying time. It'd be nice to actually get to run it as well. If I don't get in, then I don't know what I'll do. Either something in the Chicago area since we'll be there already, or maybe something else I have on my list of to do races (like Valencia). Curious about what you have coming up!!<br /><br />I hope to get to the cinema soon to see A Star is Born! <br /><br />I am so in awe of how much you do Wendy! I have no time for reading! With work + side job + working out + attempting to blog I just don't manage to read at all. and I miss it!! I'm flying to Las Vegas on Thursday and I plan on reading Ultramarathon Mom as it's written by a woman I know in Germany (american lady) who sent it to me for a read and review! runlaugheatpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09233445490233555647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-3454898131525809422018-11-03T20:33:58.508-05:002018-11-03T20:33:58.508-05:00They are the HEARTLAND, Wendy.

I see on fivethirtyeight.com has the Dem favored to win, which will really help in case Trump's new Supreme Court decides to overturn Roe and all kinds of other shitty things that could be then left up to the states. A crazy right wing Trump supporter who hates teachers (he said we could all be easily replaced) is running against our incumbent Dem Gov. Tom Wolf, and Wolf is favored to win. But I'm not counting on anything so I will be VOTING and I really hope the dems take back the house. Then they can open investigations into Trump and maybe we will finally see his tax returns!Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-9490653597143155522018-11-03T11:58:35.167-05:002018-11-03T11:58:35.167-05:00I really need to watch A Star is Born!

Any run longer than an hour left me wiped for days. Obviously that improved drastically this summer. My rheumatologist says it's common with autoimmune diseases to have a couple bad years to start and then start feeling (relatively) better. That was a long-winded way to say, I hope your running optimism is a good sign overall. And the pain-free injections have to be a plus!Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17647383150283618698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-63093578878891510852018-11-02T19:45:23.949-05:002018-11-02T19:45:23.949-05:00Your indoor January race wouldn't be in Milwau...Your indoor January race wouldn't be in Milwaukee would it?<br />Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06216745289392718591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-69888587518674316862018-11-02T18:12:26.140-05:002018-11-02T18:12:26.140-05:00Please do!
