And though we planned to go shopping today, it did not push thru. Hubby woke up so late and my head hurts. Aside from that, I am also experiencing muscle pain, can this be rheumatism? Will I need a rheumatoid arthritis treatment soon? I have been experiencing this leg muscle pain for a while now, so I guess it’s about time that I research about about it.

Rheumatism (thanks my doctor) is actually a general term for problems that affects the joins and connective tissues. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disorder that may affect tissues but it is concentrated on joints. It causes damage tot he cartilage, thus some person who have severe RA (rheumatoid arthritis) have deformed hands. Obviuosly, what I was expereincing is not RA. Most likely it is just over fatigue or just simple muscle cramps.
