DaveTess Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 FOR SALE 2016 Grand Touring SE 1339.5 Km’s Fully Studded Track by Dealership Glove Box Extension for a Garmin 650 Glove Box Liner Quali Pieces Roller Wheels. Full set of Ski Doo Service manuals Fully maintained by Larry’s in Orangeville. $13,000 Unfortunately it’s come a time that Tess and I are leaving the ATV and Sledding world. As some of you know Tess has a very rare form of Rheumatoid Arthritis which effects 44 of 64 joints and she’s had it since 2003. We have tried over the past two years to Sled and ATV, Tess straddling the seats, and have found that she just can’t sit that way for longer than an hour or so and even shorter when the trails are rough. We have reverted to driving the back roads and countryside in the 4 x 4 and a little hiking on the Bruce Trail to get our outdoor fix. We only road 3 times on the ATV last year and just two this year on the sled. 200 Km’s. So it’s time. Please if you’re interested and serious drop me a note. We will not give this away. Don’t have to sell it but might as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viperules700 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Good luck with sale Dave. The grand touring se is an amazing sled. Makes a great solo touring sled too, with air suspension and can move back rest forward for solo rider, plus carry gear for three adults. Surely someone here will snap it up.

I know a friend of mine swore he would never have a pontoon boat. He is into speed and pontoons are for "old" people. Last summer he bought a pontoon. His wife's arthritis made it difficult climbing in and out of the boat they had. Now the deck of the pontoon is at dock height so she can just step on and off. He still has his go fast boat though.

Humaria was great accept, one of the side effects is blistering feet and hands and she was good for a bit then the hands a feet blew up and it looked like she had been scalded. very painful. She's back on Methotrexate and things seem to be stable again for now. Thanks for your concern. It's been a long tough road for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can see it has a bunch of extras. Ricochet Skid Plate set, Vip Air Faring, Terra Cross Tires. Was thinking of asking around $6000 but really haven't got that far as I have some preseason things to finish before it hits Kijiji. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her fingers were all bent and she would have trouble cutting a piece of meat. The pain never really stopped. She went through all the medications including some experimental ones over the years. I believe it was Methotrexate that she had delivered and a nurse came by weekly for the injections. I hope the medication can keep things under control for her.

DaveTess Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Thanks 02Sled. I have given Tess a needle every week from 2003 to 2015, methotrexate, then when she tried the experimental ones. Humira, which was another needle, it was combined with the methotrexate to keep thing under control then to Xeljanz and one other with no long term relief. Unfortunately she has 44 joints effected, not all at once as hers is what they call a "Flighting & Migratory" type, rather rare and it moves all around. In the years she's had four major flares when everything was attacked and she was basically immobile for weeks. It's been a long battle for her but she's the "Energizer Bunny" and gets up and does her best. The medication is a double edge sword as it helps now keep things a bay, for the most part, but the long term effect is not very good. Life's to short. As long as we wake up each morning and can plant are feet on solid ground, it's a good day. We'll deal with ever is thrown our way with a smile that the dirt is under our feet and not covering them. Anyway thanks for the words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been on remicade for 20+ years for chron's, it is also used for arthritis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
