Update: not so happy during the night. Seems like all the pain I usually have during the day on the right knee just saved itself up and unleashed itself on me during the night. Little sleep and lots of pain make me a sad camper. Don't think I like that trade off. Will see how it goes through next week. In the mean time, scheduling appt with specialist to run a new set of tests and see if any changes in results this year that might give an idea what the heck my joints and inflammation are really saying.

Original post: Happy surprise this afternoon by lack of pain in right knee and I'm thrilled - Fear of pain is still there for now, but actual pain immensely diminished. Left knee hurts a bit, both feet hurt, shoulders and elbows hurt. But the right knee has been waking me up and keeping me from almost everything. So wow that is just cool. Now the fun part is looking for what shifted it and will it last:) Was it the new stuff I added to my dinner the night before? Was it that I drank 3 500ml bottles of water the day before - too little but the most I've managed to get consume in a day so far. Was it drinking the same amount today - also a win to date? Was it the not eating the usual stuff for breakfast today resulting in not triggering inflammation? Was it Professor Plum in the dining room with a candlestick? So today I didn't eat until dinner and had almost exactly what I had last night, just more of it to see if I could ID it as a food related change. Look forward to seeing how I feel tomorrow. If it's a fluke, I'm still happy for this day of mobility:)
