Guest guest Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 I would love to have a network of friends that live in my town. Let's share and maybe we can help eachother in the process! My name is . I live in Castle Rock, Colorado. (South of Denver) I am 47 and have had RA for 7 years. I have been in pain for 15, but was only diagnosed 7 years ago. I have 2 kids, 23 and 16. I am currently on Enbrel, but it is failing. My biggest issue is fatigue due to not sleeping at night. I take Ambien, but I still wake up in pain. I have worked all my life but now find it hard to work cuz I am so tired and cranky. I have applied for disability but have been denied and I am in the appeal phase. It's been 3 years of filling out paperwork and I am finding it hard to pay for the rising cost of treatment. I would love to meet someone in Colorado who can relate to the altitude/weather issues that is unique to Colorado. Thanks! ----- Original Message -----From: "Marika" <tobytoby99350@...>"rheumatoid arthritis" <Rheumatoid Arthritis >Sent: Thursday, April 23, 2009 12:20:14 PM GMT -07:00 US/Canada MountainSubject: Re: To Jean Dear It is so sweet of you to care, you see just a little kindness will make a persons day, knowing somewhere out there is a person that cares.I live in a little town in Washington ( Prosser )The hospital is about 30 miles away,I found out there is a buss going to the Tri Citys every day.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Dear Marika, I'm glad that I was able to bring a little sunshine into your day. I'm sure that all of the people on this board care about you and your well-being. Are you able to meet any people in your area that can help you out? Perhaps at church or some other group. I'm happy to hear that you found a bus. If you ever need encouragement or support, we are here for you. If you ever need to email me personally, my email address is pjweymer@.... Hang in there!
