Oh the joys...

One of the newest developments in my pregnancy seems to be arthritis. Well, it hasn't been actually diagnosed, but it feels like I have arthritis in my hands for the past days and nights. I thought I knew what was causing the stiffness and fixed that, but seems to be getting worse. I'm sure it is Edema related as I had a pretty good Edema flare up yesterday, but it is so bad that during the night I can hardly open my hands all the way. And, today it is hard to make a fist. So, I am doing everything they suggest for Edema, but if you have any suggestions on how to make this go away, please share! :) It is pretty scary waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to move your hands. It is so weird and not particularly convenient when you can't grasp toilet paper (sorry, to much information!).
