You can never exercise and still lose weight. However, exercise can be better for your attitude( so I’m told). So if watching your portion control and limiting alcohol is doable don’t beat yourself up about it. You will see results. Once you are in the groove add in the exercise for a boost. Trying to do it all at once is a lot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2753615879882339103.post-56471906662892288362024-01-04T02:35:21.861-05:002024-01-04T02:35:21.861-05:00Very NiceVery NiceHasnainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16117580161234080398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2753615879882339103.post-105703606278110022023-11-10T21:08:18.949-05:002023-11-10T21:08:18.949-05:00Classic song released in 1958 perforned by Augie R...Classic song released in 1958 perforned by Augie Rios former child actor turned balladeer and musician of Puerto Rican ancestry he's now 77 years old and he's still alive today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2753615879882339103.post-32400496277086579542023-11-09T11:59:32.618-05:002023-11-09T11:59:32.618-05:00Nice post :)Nice post :)emmahttps://sosoxy.pl/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2753615879882339103.post-16478435237041312182023-10-05T00:01:26.785-04:002023-10-05T00:01:26.785-04:00All these years later, I am grateful you shared th...All these years later, I am grateful you shared this post and your experience.

I am fortunate that my insurance covered the cost. The amount my insurance paid was (I believe) closer to $20K, but often the cost is reduced for uninsured patients. I would recommend contacting the clinic to see if they could give you an estimate of the cost.

Because my wrists are also affected, my rheumatologist recommended not lifting free weights heavier than a few pounds, but that's a limit of my wrists, not my fingers.

Can I ask you how your hand is typing and I presume you are limited with how much weight you can carry or lift? I lift small weights and am wondering how this will work.
