About me
So what is there to say about me? Well I’m currently a graduate student studying high energy physics at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. Hopefully I will be finishing soon and able to move to Maryland and thus able to move in with my fiancée, Beth, who is currently a medical student at the University of Maryland in Baltimore. The wedding is June 16th, which means there is less than five months to go. Which is very exciting, especially since we’ve been engaged for almost two years now.
I’m beginning to be applying for jobs in the DC/Baltimore area, which is adding to my overall stress level, of course, but is also rather exciting.

I am a 68 year old woman in excellent health. I had been to the doctor for something else and was given anti biotics – mild tetrecycline I believe. I mentioned that I had never received a tetanus shot and was concerned about that. They gave me the shot and On May 8 suddenly developed swelling in the rt knee. Had to keep the knee elevated for 3 weeks – could only be on my feet for 2 or three hours. That was 2008. While the symptoms have diminished and I have seen both orthopedic and rhumatoid specialists they still remain. my ANA turned out to be very high, but there is no rheumatoid arthritis. Minor arthritis in the kneww and a small baker’s cyst behind the knee. I find the knee unstable and I am especially bothered by sitting. I wake up fine and as long as I am moving the leg is fine unless I walk out in the y ard on unstable ground. I certainly am not able to work outside like I have done before. a year ago I even plastered ceilings and painted my own kitchen. I don’t want to live on motrins and don’t think they particularly do much good outside of discomfort relief. Swelling remains the same. I’ve been trying different herbs and want to do acupuncture. The orthopedic Doctor can give me injections of a new gel made from the rooster comb. I thought that would introduce a foreign substance and would rather do the acupuncture Anyone out there have any comments?

the swelling in the knee was exactly 4 weeks after the injection. I had no paid after tetanus shot, but did not feel well afterwards.
