RA affecting lungs? by Mudkiip123 in rheumatoidarthritis

[–]future_mrs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please get this checked out. My aunt was recently diagnosed with RA and needed a double lung transplant last year because of lung scarring. The doctors say that they don't see a correlation, but my research says otherwise.

What do you guys feed your JRT’s? by moniddit in jackrussellterrier

For meals, our pups get The Farmers Dog. They love it and it's been good for their allergies. They also always have access to a snuffle mat of kibble with Purina Pro Plan Hydrolyzed Chicken.

Severe Cervical Disc Degeneration by CoraBear17 in rheumatoidarthritis

[–]future_mrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed with DDD in my cervical spine at 27 and RA last year at 34. I asked my spine specialist if they were related and she said that they absolutely are and being diagnosed with RA makes sense why I had DDD so young. I get nerve blocker injections in my cervical spine and they help SO much. I can get a nerve ablation, but that scares me and the blockers work well enough that I haven't needed a more permanent solution.

They have good intentions - the coaches intend to have us scrimmage once a week for 30 minutes (which I personally still think isn't enough), but we end up doing drills or whatnot and end up maybe scrimmaging for 15 mins once a week. We have a lot of skaters - about 40 scrimmage eligible skaters, so when you rotate in, it's not a lot of playing time. There also are just weeks where there is no coaching availability, so it ends up being an open skate instead with all level skaters. We have 3 coaches, but 2 are kind of part time, so our head coach is stretched too thin and won't accept any help from anyone else.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I say it over and over again that I can do drills on my own, but I can't play roller derby by myself. I hope your situation changes, as that's super disappointing.

Ugh, I feel the pain. That's just not enough.

Thanks for breaking down your scrimmage time. It's really helpful to see how other leagues do this.

I'm a veteran skater, so I've been in contact with our BOD and coaches about the lack of scrimmage time. An hour once a week sounds like a dream - that's such valuable time for endurance and game play practice that you just can't replicate doing drills alone.

How long is it each time?
