I have a whack of squirrels that are going to have tail envy from that photo. (And as I typed that, one showed up to prove my point--scraggy pitiful little post-posterior.)

Surprisingly enough, despite having oak trees that bear acorns, we have no squirrels in our yard. We do, however, have deer, sometimes herds of them. The rendevous season has begun.

There's scads of them in nearby parks...mostly red squirrels (gray body, red tail). Does anyone else think that the black ones are kind of creepy? I've only seen those at Niagara Falls, CA & Toronto and they are way too bold!

I have no trees in my yard, or even very close to my yard. Yet I have a persistent squirrel who built a nest in my car engine and filled it full of nuts - without me ever noticing. The car died on a road trip to my Rheumatologist (3 hours away) due to the nuts in the engine. Despite the inconvenience I had to laugh at the persistence of the squirrel. They are very entertaining little things! Rebecca

This is an adage in the medical world that encourages doctors to not wander off exploring rare and esoteric reasons for a patient’s symptoms. Because most of the time, that hoof beat of a rash likely isn’t the plague, the joint pain more likely a type of arthritis than the bends (especially if the person has never scuba dived) and you get the picture. But once in a while, it actually is a zebra. And even if it’s first identified as a horse, eventually, the stripes come through. It took five years of my parents running around to different doctors before one finally recognized that I had

Getting a diagnosis of any type of chronic illness can throw you for loop. There is so much to know and you have so little energy. My new slideshow for HealthCentral collects 13 things you need to know as an RA newbie : "Receiving a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a moment of strange duality. On one hand, you may be relieved to finally have answers for the symptoms you’ve been experiencing. On the other, it can be incredibly overwhelming to find out you have a chronic illness. Wrapping your head around all the new factors RA brings into your life is a long-term process. Here are some of the things you need to know." See the slideshow on HealthCentral . And in case you missed it, here is the Facebook Live I did yesterday talking about this topic:
