Thank you for sharing this. My girl Audie and I think that she may have RA as well and we don't know much about it. The part about the girl in your class having trouble from eating carbs is new information for us. She has been hurting all the time. Also, she is interested in meditation and wants me to teach her TM. I don't know anything about yoga, but if it helps maybe we should get into it. We have made some loose dieting goals that we have failed on today, but after reading this I think that we will become more successful. I love her very much and I hate seeing her in pain, which she is in most of the time.

Note: I am very glad that you are enjoying your vacation. Stress is a killer, no doubt. Positive outlook does a lot of good, but even the most positively charged person needs a little recharge sometimes. Hell, it may last you for a long time. I bet you have an incredible battery life when you are charged up. Shit, you even do well when you are drained!! lol. Happy New Year and I hope that the fires go out over there. HOOOSHHH That was me, blowing out the fire, or at least trying... Cheers
