My best friend and I went into the city today to do a little shopping. Thanks to RA I have HATED shopping for the past couple of years. I plan very carefully where I want to go, what exactly I'm looking for in each place and I map out how to get to each store and around each store as quickly as possible.
Mostly I hate walking in malls, but crowds, cramped dressing rooms and heavy shopping bags all add to it!
Today we did very well, we got everything on our lists (except light bulbs of all things!) and I'm home with new sneakers for work, a new bit for Oscar, new reins, shampoo, a birthday present for my mom and I'm not completely exhausted!
We even had lunch in the food court in the mall (my first meal in a restaurant/take out since December 21st!) I stuck to New York Fries as I knew the fries and the oil they were cooked it would be as close to gluten free as it could be. So far I'm doing good. I ate a new kind of yogurt on Friday without reading the label first and I paid for it over the weekend.
I see the new Doctor tomorrow afternoon. Cross your fingers that it is just a gluten allergy and nothing more serious. This is the best I've felt in a long time.

Wow. That must of been a really special day. I have seen my mom slowly get less mobile with her RA. I can't imagine how hard that must be. I am so happy that you have found something to make life better for you.
