Is it normal to have arthritis or your bones hurt at the age of 25? Some of my joints have been really hurting ….such as my fingers. They really hurt in the cold or when for instance the next day after building a dog house….I also wake in the morning sometimes and they just hurt from my hand being in one state for so long….is this normal for a 25 year old?

I’m always telling my mother to cut down on tea drinking as she has about fifteen or twenty cups of tea per day… even getting a cup before going to bed! Her rheumatoid arthritis in her feet has been getting worse and I believe that drinking so much tea is partly to blame. Am I right here or is her habitual tea drinking irreverent to this problem? thanks if you can help!

I fully believe there’s a link of some sort; my arthritic wrist usually starts bugging me roughly 12 hours before the weather changes….. The question is, is the link provable? Or is it an annoying coincidence of nature?

Now I know it isnt.. but thought maybe there was some reason he did this. It is costly and I just had a baby. I have been EXTREAMLY depressed post baby and called telling them this.
They called me in Celebrex…
Does it help with depression? maybe the hormones? I am not going to go buy the expensive script if not. I am worried that maybe he doesnt take me seriously.

I have chronic pain due to sports injuries. I take a lot of ibuprofen.

Please leave Obama out. He’s been in office 6 months.

Since Republicans keep saying Democrats are responsible for the current economy and the bank failures than what EXACTLY did Republicans do for 8 years?

Democrats had a slim majority for the last 2 years of the Bush presidency and did not have enough votes to over ride a veto.

The United States was not attacked 7 years prior to 9/11 either.
Shoe bomber Richard Reid was stopped by the passengers.
Don’t forget the Anthrax scares.
Abortions are still legal and the "Morning after pill" is available.

"No child left behind" had no funding"

There was no discernible foreign policy and global warming was ignored.

Please take into account the beef recalls, Salmonella tainted peanuts,
poison pet food, Vioxx, Iraq and an FDA with a political agenda.

Since the Democrats are responsible for the current state of affairs than what did the Republicans do? It’s a valid question.
"Flags of our fathers"

I pointed out the United States was not attacked 7 years prior to 9/11. So was that the action of the Republicans also or was law enforcment doing their jobs no matter who was in office?

The Republicans had all the power. Dodd and Frank are Democrats. So what did the Republicans do to stop it then?
hironymus

As was pointed out Dodd and Frank are Democrats. You know the minority at the time. So again WHAT did the REPUBLICANS do about it?

The FDA (FOOD and DRUG ADMINISTRATION) was supposed to be over seeing DRUGS that’s Vioxx and FOOD that’s BEEF.
