New medication

I am taking embrel, an injection medication. It does make me feel better, can't bend or anything but I'm more flexible. Im hoping to start dance and a sport. Wish me luck! :-)

I'm so sorry

I'm so sorry i have not posted in so long I am very sorry. Today I went to an integrative medicine doctor.
I also a couple days ago went to my eye doctor I have good vision! I haven't been wearing my orthotics because I forgot them at my dads but I got them back now and I got new tennis shoes for school. School starts for me on this Thursday but I hope I will still have time to blog!



I go biking a lot with friends and just by myself that's how I get to places a lot.


Today I feel: Fingers were sore in the morning because I don't have my LDN I ran out but it should come today.

Good Morning!

Hello,

How is everyone today? It's not that nice out today it's hot but it is suppose to storm so it's not the nicest yesterday it was hot TO HOT! I wish it was nice today if it was I would probably be playing outside. If it was nice I would go swimming in our little pool in the backyard with my little sister it's not too big but that's fine it's still fun!



Today I feel: I was just tired this morning like when everybody wakes up in the morning your tired but then when you get up out of bed your up and your fine so that's what happen's with me it mostly always happen's when I get up but then I am fine.




           Hope the weather get's nicer! 


                   Love, Aalia Hopp

Good Afternoon

Hello,

For the past 2 days like I said I went to a water park but I also forgot my pills so for two days I didn't take my pills But I was actually Ok I wasn't that bad but I took my pills last night so I am better. I was really tired today for some reason but I got over that. For some reason I am never hungry I am wondering why.

I really haven't told you that much because I don't know that much to say so if you have any questions you can just comment on one of my posts the questions you have and I will reply.

Today I feel: I did not feel like I could run a mile but I also didn't feel like I couldn't get out of bed so I was right in the middle. But I feel good now!

It is on twin lakes I believe and it's nice here when it's warm because I can go swimming and swimming is really good for my joint because they are moving around.





Today I feel: In the morning there was like NO stiffness it was weird right now they are really good I can't bend them still but they are doing really good and you can see the bone better in my knee like the shape of my knee.

Water And Heat!

This weekend I am going up to my cabin and it's on a lake so it's fun and if the water is warm. Water and swimming is really good for arthritis anyway so it's good unless it's really cold then it's bad.



I will do a longer blog tomorrow and tell you more things about arthritis.



Today I feel: Good because my pills and my arthritis is getting so much better it's amazing I hope all the stuff I tell you helps you.

HOT DAY TODAY!!!

It's HOT today it's about 92 right now it's HOT!! I forgot to post last night because I had some people over and I totally forgot so I thought I should do mine right now. The hot day really helps my knee well it doesn't make then stiff at all really.


My arthritis is getting a lot better I am not that stiff and in pain that much any more but it's only my toe that really hurts. My legs aren't as BIG as they use to be.



Today I Feel: Hard in the morning like normal but get's better as the day goes on and it's just my darn TOE that hurts bad. The only  reason is that I forgot to take my pills.

Sword Fingers with Chunyi Lin - An Energy Healing Technique for Helping ...

My Day Today On This Nice Sunday.

Well today I went to the zoo and my legs sorta hurt and we also had a water balloon fight with my little sister and the water was cold so it made my legs kinda stiff but it was still fun. The heat is a big thing so if it's warm outside my day is a lot better if it's cold and rainy well then my legs get stiff and bad. Today was nice it was around 90 but it's not normal for here ;).



I hope you looked up my Qi gong master and actually I might go see him in about a week or less then a week I think he is all the way in Minnesota so it is a long drive from where I am so my legs get stiff in the car.



Today I feel: I was stiff in the morning but I took my rhus tox and it made it feel better and less stiff. After walking a lot at the zoo my legs got better.




     Comment if you have anything to ask about it and I will answer it right away for you thank you =)




               A.K.A. don't let your JRA get in your way do whatever you want think it's not there.

Hello, Today I went to my foot doctor to get new orthotics and I also saw my natural path doctor and she helps me out a lot. Her name is Rebecca Georgia she is great! I also am going to see my Qi gong master pretty soon. My orthotics are helping so much. If you have arthritis and your reading this you should look up orthotics and maybe get some because they help a ton!

Some things I do to help my JRA is: I walk a lot after school and it moves my joint around and it makes them feel a lot better. For me it's just better in the after noon for my pain level to go down and it's sorta stiff and hurts in the morning's. Some morning's it's good and some morning's it get's pretty bad but it's never mad enough that i can't get out of bed.   

 Today I feel: In the morning I felt rough but it got better as the day went on and as I was moving around and eating healthy food. I also felt like my swelling is going down.

My rating for pain today is about a: 2 1/2 

                                                I hope this helps you!!

First Blog Post Ever!

Hi, My name is Aalia Hopp . I am ten years old and I got Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA) when I was nine years old. I'm am doing this blog everyday to help other kids and adults and myself who have JRA.

  I plan on posting daily about how I am feeling and what I am doing to help myself feel better and hopefully they will help you. I just started a new drug called LDN and it is making me feel A LOT better! I tried Qi gong and it helped a lot too. My mother has me on a sugar, gluten,and dairy free diet and it started helping a lot and my swelling went down.


   Today I feel: It was hard in the morning but it got better as the day went on because, I was moving and walking around just moving my joint around it really helps.

                                                   

                                               I hope this helps you =)
