Falling off the wagon...

Hmmmmm...should've gone to the Wellness Center today. Hopefully tomorrow. Didn't sleep well last night at all. Was still awake after 4:30 this morning. Today started off bad...really bad headache and lots of pain in the arm and feet/toes. Ate my breakfast...took my meds and vitamins...took a nap...woke feeling much better. Did laundry today...some cleaning...rearranged the living room (with help).

Not very hungry lately. Stomach has been bothering me...hoping it's just the meds and not something else. Evidently the methotrexate weakens my immune system, so I do have to be careful who I am around.

Breakfast was a toaster thingy. Lunch a subway sandwich and supper was a baked potato. Oh...I did have a sliver of peanut butter pie this afternoon! But, even that didn't taste that great to me. Definitely noticing a change in appetite. Found a snack mix I really like...it has sunflower nuts, pumpkin seeds, cashews, almonds and raisins in it...and NO sodium. Eat a handful of that a couple times a day...everything in it is supposed to be good for arthritis. Need to have my V-8 juice...no vegies today!! (I know....bad Laurie!!)

Next week WILL be better...going to FORCE myself to eat those fruits and vegies...even if I'm not hungry.
