momzpeachy: I am having the same problems. I used to be able to say that mornings were my best time of day but lately I am only sleeping 2 1/2-3 hours at night and get up feeling horrible. My arm has been so swollen lately, my fingers look like sausages. The tremor is worse and it jerks constantly. It will get better during the day if I don't do much but then bad again at night. I am in northern NJ. I love the fall (ussually) but I am so worried about winter. As it is I have to keep my arm covered all the time and I find I have to keep my hand covered too now. I wear a glove some days. I feel stupid wearing a sweatshirt and glove on an 80 degree day.

Sometimes I have an attitude that I am going to push through and do something to get back some sort of resemblance of what my life used to be like even if I pay for it later. It would be worth it. Then other days I feel beaten. I want a purpose in life. I am wc and can't do what I was doing before so now I am waiting to see what wc will do. My kids are afraid to hug me. My husband doesn't say too uch but I know this has put alot on him. I feel so bad seeing what this is doing to them.
