Hi J, We all had a nice Christmas. Here is part of a letter that Pigmet wrote to a friend: —— Pigmet writes:
I am so excited! I did fall asleep and so did not get to see Santa. But there were so many toys when I woke up this mornin. Many of them not "toys," but real work items, which is what I wanted. I had wished for a bucket and a shovel–for treasure huntin, see? But what did I get? I got TWO buckets and TWO shovels, and Santa’s note said that it was because I like so much to take a friend along with me when I treasure hunt. Also I got a vest, like a fishin vest, to keep things in when I am hikin and huntin. It has a special pocket that Major Breadlet can ride in as we go, seeins how he has a hard time keepin up when we hike. I got a Swiss Army Knife! It is all read and shiny! And the best for last! a big, flat package. I took off the wrappins and it looked very old. I opened the heavy cover and what did I see? MAPS! TREASURE MAPS! If anyone knows where treasure is, Santa would know. Several of the maps point out treasure right close to here. PS: I also got a pair of red high-topped tennis shoes, which I had wanted for such a long time, and my stockins… the little one had a bottle of real vanilla in it, and the big one was full of red sweet potatoes!

I love maps ! I’m so jealous of Pigmet, I like ancient maps and globes, it’s so interesting the way the world was and now is, over thousands of years. Topographical maps, maps, maps, maps. and a swiss army knife? Wow ! Can you tell I’m excited? A vest with lots of pockets? I love lots of pockets in everything.. Hope you and Pigmet find your treasure. What a wonderful collection of gifts, you are so blessed this year.

Oh, Bruce. I’m so sorry you’re in such misery. I used to get those white things until they finally removed the white thingy makers when I was 15. Oh, such misery they used to be. I’m very glad you were able to stay home though. It is very scarey in the hospitals & doctor’s offices. J, we were doing pretty good, weren’t we? We got up to like 380 posts around Christmas. Maybe everyone is in the bathroom now? : ) I know I should’ve left the eggnog alone. Shoulda just spiked it if it was gonna bring misery anyway! Speaking of absentee’s, the 1st falls on a Thursday & I never know what Thursday’s will bring after my MTX on Wednesday, so don’t forget the roll call. : ) You are like the earliest poster here, so get ‘er going, k?

Response:
Glad the holidays have come and almost gone. I flared up with a sinus infection and broncitis the week before Christmas. It responded to the meds, but came back twice as bad the day after Christmas. At least it isn’t the flu. (I had the vacine, so perhaps it helped.) All in all, this is nothing to complain about. I have a very dear friend who is in final stages of cancer. They are unable to control the pain well, and my heart is aching for her. Her children and even her sister and husband are not accepting the hard reality that the end is near. Lupus is no fun, but I sure feel small for complaining when their are others with much worse problems. Here’s wishing a good start to 2004 for all.

Gee, I was going to buy eggnog, but decided not. The week before I had a "gut" reaction to scrambled eggs and toast. Is it the foods or us?…(scratching my head about that one).. Or is there fats in storebought eggnog. Someone on another newsgroup told me eating margarine is like eating plastics. (too much fake stuff in it) What is this that Bruce has "the white thingies" please? thrush? or something lupus? I was thinking of waiting until next week for the roll call, Janers is away, and many others might be either away or after jan i, recovering from a hangover 
And there’s no rule that we have to do it every month, but sure wish some of our escapees would post and let us know how they’re doing, Paula and Sherry are two that come to mind, then Michael who rarely says anything.

Hi J! Those white thingy’s are on the tonsils. or at least mine always were. I assume Bruce’s were too. I guess they just called it tonsilitis? Oh, they are awful! They hurt sooo bad! I’m so glad my tonsils are gone as I had them so often as a kid/young teenager. That’s fine about the roll call. Probably be best as the first is a hangover holiday & we may be in for disappointment from the get-go. Yes, it seems the lurkers just don’t wanna be bothered with us. <sniff> Well, Lee has posted a coupla times. Bless our Lee! Hey! I said Haaaaay!!! I hereby challenge a lurker to start this month’s roll call. Hah! Howdaya like me now? Ahem…just don’t wait too long on the lurker, k? : ) Hugs, Maggie

Well, speaking of which something at the back of my left throat is swollen and painful again ! (for weeks now) It seems to happen every 6 months or so starting summer 2002. By the time I get an ENT visit it’s gone or he says it’s not my tonsil. Hurts when I swallow. Chokey when I try to sleep. I can’t find a picture of where the tonsils are or what the big lump is at the back of my throat. J-going searching.

Tonsils are the little lumps that hang down on each side in the back of your throat. Open wide and look! You could put your finger in there and touch them. Gag!!!!! Ok, that is if you still have them. Many of us have had them removed along with the adenoids. Where the heck were the adenoids hiding in the throat and why did they take them out too? No clue.

Response:
Did you find them, J? Usually, it is the tonsils that causes the soreness in the throat. I haven’t had more than a scratchy to slightly sore throat since mine were removed. I guess they act as a filter, so to speak. It’s weird that it’s just on one side of your throat though. It may not be the tonsil, but the way you said it acts up every year, it’s very possible. The tonsils kinda look like a "bumpy pillow" on each side in the back of your throat. Whenever the white spots would come, I always had to have antibiotics, so it’s unlikely you get those. I don’t think they get better on their own. If so, you’d be very miserable during the process. And thank you Bev for making me gag! LOL! Hugs, Maggie

I can’t see, it’s too dark and far back. I don’t think mine is infected. When it started summer 02, I tried 2 antibiotics and neither fixed the problem, then it occurred around same time in winter, then last summer again, now again. Gad, am I tried of this ! > You could put your finger in there and touch > them.
Did, the left one is hard as a rock and pain. the right is soft and no pain. > Gag!!!!! Ok, that is if you still have them. Many of us have had them > removed along with the adenoids.
Not me > Where the heck were the adenoids hiding in > the throat and why did they take them out too? No clue.
Behind (I think) the tonsil. I think they usually do remove the adenoids with the tonsil. Anyway, since I don’t have a clue…. for weeks <g> I have been melting Naproxen down my left throat to try and stop the pain, after posting last night, I remembered the dentist told me it was TMJ-like (but not quite TMJ) probably causing it (since by the time I got referred to him, it was gone again), so I am now trying a device. I was supposed to go see the specialist dentist next time it occurred. Go figure, I forgot and/or it’s the holidays. If it’s not gone after a week or so, I’ll go see him. . thanks all, sometimes after posting something, I "clue in"..I’m very sorry I troubled you, I should have figured it out myself. Hugs Maggie, Bev and Bruce, J PS the ENT won’t remove it unless it’s "big" or infected, it does not get big enough for him but it does bother my breathing during sleep, like they say here http://www.charlestonent.com/throat.htm Guess he doesn’t read the internet. And, oh never mind, hugs. Going back to bed.
Response:
Hi all, My name is Tanya, I am a "lurker" I guess. Anyway, I have read posts here a few times and seen Maggie’s challenge….so here I am…..I only posted in 1 other place for a short time and the thing vanished, folded up, or whatever you call it. As for roll call, what do you want to know? Hmmm, I live in NW Indiana, close to Chicago, IL. I am, oops, will be 42 on Jan 1…see the 1162 in my nic? It’s my birthday-I’ll have to explain the tractorgirl part another time, what else, let me see, I married young and have been divorced since 89, I have 1 son, who is almost 23 and yes I have lupus. I guess I never posted before because I didn’t want a bunch of people "preaching" at me for the things I don’t do, in regards to having lupus. Over the years I have been fed up with doctors and no med they ever gave me helped for more than a few weeks, most caused me to have other things go wrong, So, now I don’t take any, actually since 93 I haven’t taken any, and yes I do have some very serious things going on but I have learned other ways to deal with things and when I am really really bad off, I just have "down" time, where I am kinda "non-functional" for a few days but most the time I push myself to the limits and beyond and deal with pain and physical limitations the ways I have learned how to. Anyway, got to go, just couldn’t pass up a "dare". I wish you all a SAFE and Happy New Year. Tanya
Response:
Hello Tanya, Happy Birthday and welcome. Glad you couldn’t pass up the dare. I, too, married young except I’ve kept him – because he’s a real sweetheart. There’s a few years between us, more than I care to admit. LOL I have two girls, one is 32 and the other is about to turn 29. I’m on the east coast down here in the SE corner of Virginia. We are all scattered all over the place. Shelegh has a map on her web site so you can see where we all live. Anyway we are a very nice bunch of people and no one is going to fuss at you unless you are really doing something terribly dangerous. I don’t take anything more than aspirin for most of my aches and pains. So far I can still eat aspirin without any problems. And I just put up with most of the aches and pains. You sounded just like me when you posted about pushing yourself and down time, meds, etc. Bev "Tanya" <Tractorgirl1…@webtv.net> wrote in message

Hi Tanya, Thank you for the introduction. Don’t worry. I won’t preach. I hate it when people do that. I would be interested to hear about the ways you have found to cope with your lupus. I am fed up with doctors too, so any suggestions you have would be most welcome. So you are a new year’s baby. Happy birthday to you. I hope you will talk to us again. BJ-Sk.

Hi Tanya I think we are all fed up with doctors… I know I am! They can’t ‘fix’ us so it is frustrating and the symptomatic meds are harsh and so it is doubly irritating!

Response:
Hi Tanya! A toast to you! I knew it would either take someone with courage and/or someone who couldn’t let a dare go. And you seem to have both. : ) Your job now is to start a post titled "January ROLL Call" sometime next week. We figured with the Holiday & parties & the long weekend that next week would be a better time. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, whenever you want. We will wait on you, k? And of course, welcome to the group! I think everyone here is at fault for not doing what they’re supposed to. From diet & meds to stress & working too much, we all have our quirks & are dealing with this disease as well as we know how to. Personally, I envy those that refuse the pain meds. My mother was like this & yet she insisted on me taking them. I insisted on me taking them too! lol! I’m 33, no hubby, no children, 2 dogs & have a Lupus-like disease. I’m so glad you’re here! Glad you took the challenge & hope you’ll be with us for a long time to come. Have a safe & happy New Year! aHug4u, Maggie
Response:
Hi J! Now what on earth made you think you were wasting anyone’s time? Shame on you! : ) It does sound like the tonsil. That’s weird to me as I figured it would be both acting up at the same time. The TMJ-like thing doesn’t make sense to me as it’s happening just twice a year or so. It it were TMJ-like it would progressively get worse, I would think. I would urge you to have it checked simply because it’s hard. (I cannot believe you didn’t gag! LOL!) Can you see it with a flashlight? Is it red? Did it feel swollen as well as hard? My aunt was around 50 when she had her tonsils removed & it was an awful, awful thing. They say the older you are, the worse it affects you. I imagine the docs would only take it out as a last resort for this reason. Something else that’s interesting about the tonsils is they now believe those with their tonsils removed have a better chance of getting arthritis. I heard this on the news about a year ago, I think. I have to wonder just what their role is as far as AI diseases. Hugs, Maggie

well one of the theories is it’s not the joint but the ligaments and tendons around the joint and I do have other tendon and ligament problems, but it is odd to me that it’s always (and just) the left side. Yes, it feels swollen . It is red and hard as a rock. And it hurts to swallow. and now my TMJ (area) is aching a lot on the left side. > My aunt was around 50 when she had her tonsils removed & it was an > awful, awful thing.

Yes, that’s what I was told by the ENT. Just "put up with it". (unless it gets bigger or infected). I guess if I didn’t have the "responsibilities" here, I might take the chance to get rid of a nuisance thing. > Something else that’s interesting about the tonsils is they now believe > those with their tonsils removed have a better chance of getting > arthritis.

I don’t know, never heard that one before. Which type of arthritis? Rheumatoid? PS If no one else starts a poll, I’ll start one next week. How long are you gone, please. Hugs to you Maggie – how will I ever outdo you though, you brought out so many lurkers ! J

Me too, but i recognize that some have more pain than others. (or less tolerance) or have to be more physically involved in their daily lives. I can’t even do aspirin due to bleeds. So it’s baths, cold/hot etc. As you say, I’ll not rant at Tanya, unless I see she’s doing something dangerous. The side effects of some pain meds just don’t seem worth it (for me) for the "return". Congratulations to you "oldie marrieds" too ! Hugs J
