I too, have celebrated a diagnosis of arthritis. My right hip started aching a few months ago.............had a bone scan and it was clean, just good ole arthritis. I have since started taking glucosamine. It sometimes takes months for the glucosamine to make a difference........we'll see.

I had a scare on Wed morning. I awoke with a mild headache and some dizziness, but thought maybe I was catching the viral infection my daughter had. Anyway, took Sarah to school, then drove to campus rec center where I swim laps. I swam, felt good, showered, dressed, then looked in the mirror and yikes my eye was bleeding!!! I sort of freaked out........of course, thought I had mets to the eye. I was checked by 2 docs (ER doc and my primary care doc) and both said "not to worry, just some broken blood vessels in the eye). I rejoiced that day and felt so happy to be alive!!!!
