So I got all my test results back from my doctor's appt. last Friday. I was particularly interested in the results of the hand x-rays because, well shit, kind of needs my hands for everything I do to make a living. The results: early hints of arthritis in the bases of both thumbs (Well duh! I could've told them that 10 years ago. Can you say years and years of macrame and crochet?); some deterioration in the end knuckles (Mildly surprising and I wonder if it has to do with the whole double-jointed fingers that one must freak people out with when one is a kid thing.); and ::drumroll:: no evidence of anything to explain what might be causing the problems I've been experiencing off and on for two months now. Most irksome. I'm going to start taking glucosamine again. I used to and then stopped. I also need to get back into yoga--assuming my hands will tolerate it and assuming I can get some sort of control back over my daily life--because that's really good for the joints, too.
