Joyce,

I’ve also read that Prozac and other AD’s got bad raps. Most patients that are

prescribed the AD’s

have mental diseases, and whenever something bad happened, the Prozac was

blamed. When reading

the warnings and side effects of ANY drug, we have to keep in mind that many of

the reported problems

may be contributed to other health factors, but the drug manufacturers must list

them to legally protect them.

Also these side effects subside after the body becomes adjusted to the

medication. We all have to weigh

The pros and cons and make decisions based on accurate knowledge.

Thanks for sharing your story. I’m sorry you had to go off of Prozac when it

helped you so much.

I’ll probably be starting Prozac in the next few days, and hope I have the same

great results that you did.

Hugs,

a

i feel so lost right now, it is my last day home and i really don;t

understand how anyone who knows me can really think i can handle going back

to work. now being my last day home you'd think... stay in bed longer, do

something fun?? how about worry about how you are gonna pay for a new

refrigerator??? what's going to happen to all that food you were just able to

get?? not to mention i woke up in pain of coarse. i have been running my

fevers for the last 4-5 days. when you guys are in a flare, do you contact

your dr all the time or do you just deal with it?? i do not and will not call

the dr with every ache and pain. i can't afford my phone bill now!!! i think

especially now if i called they would just think i do not want to go to work.

it's only 1/2 days and it's 1/2 over already.work has said they will find

jobs for most. the girl i talked to there yesterday said it seems like they

are just starting to let people go. some of the computer techs, they just

gave them 2 weeks pay and said bye-bye.i really need this to be over with. if

i don't have a job, then i need to sell my car. my parents have made all

pymts for me this year. everybody says nice car. wanna buy it??!?!? i told my

parents i never wanted to be a burden. they say i am not. but when my father

is going back to work after 11 years of retirement to help with bills. makes

me feel like crap.

well it's official. i just talked to human resouces and they are expecting me

at 7am tomorrow. so i'm going to assume i will be working my friday hours

every day. which is 7- 11:30. of coarse all the road projects have started

today so traffic is going to be a mess!! fridge is still holding. will wait

for friday see what repairman says.

[Guest guest]

Kathy,

I have to echo what Rita said so well. I’d gladly go back to work to help my

sick child. A parent feels so helpless when their child is sick and they can

do nothing about it. I don’t know how you are going to be able to go back to

work when you feel so bad. No I don’t call my doctor for everything, but in

your case maybe you should. Maybe your doctor doesn’t know how bad you are

feeling. I’d let him know you are running fevers. I feel so bad that you

have to go back to work tomorrow feeling so bad. Just do the best you can.

I’ll be thinking about you and saying a prayer to give you strength.

Hugs,

a

Kathy,

I haven't been on much, but I have been reading your post. I lost my job

6 years ago to an injury, I am still in a fight with W.C.. What I want to

say is, DO Not Do more than You know you can do. Your owe your employers

nothing, however he does owe you. My attorney told me that. Where I

worked was going to give me (light duty) my doctor felt they were only

trying to get me back on the job to fire me. That was probably true, I now

know that if you can't physically do a job do not even try. If you get

tired, tell them you need a break, doesn't matter how often, if you need a

break that is what your body needs. They can't fire you and if they do, go

directly to an attorney. I can't recall if your injury was job related,

but it doesn't matter what matters now is whether you are physically able

to do that job or any other job.

I can understand your financial worries, I have that too. When I got

hurt I had started to divorce my husband. My kids and I decided that I

should go through with the divorce, well I had to pay him over 40,000 plus

I never went for child support. I just wanted to be rid of him, he was a

nasty person. So I know how finances get you down. You have to do what is

best for you, if you can't work than say so and file for disability. I

have had to do that and it has been a long road and I am not at the end

yet.

I hope I have not made you feel worse, I was trying to help you. Let us

know how you make out.

Me Mom

Kathy, as the mother of adult children, I want you to know that I would do the

same for my children as your parents are doing for you so don't worry about

being a burden. Seeing your child suffer is one of the worst things for a

parent to witness. Helping you is one way they hope to ease your pain.

hi all, well i made it through my second day. got dizzy both days driving,

tonight too. by 7:30 i almost thought about going home. by about 10 i wish

i'd brought my cane. i will do this now, even if i just carry it. my feet and

ankles are killing me again. i called my rheumi to get a script for work to

get handicapped parking. also if i get to the forms before tuesday i'll get

the state tags too. i also called the podiatrist and got an appt on the 14th.

doesn't it figure, i just got the explanation of the benefits paid from my

injections 11/30!! over 1000!! the fridge is on the fritz, repairman comming

tomorrow. dog had to go to the vet today. $150, i owe $160 in past insurance

premiums, they will deduct 20 a check from plus the 26 it regularly costs. i

am still eligible for my full time benefits since it is a medical reason i am

working part time. so that at least is good. of coarse i have to wait 2 weeks

to get my check. oh well, i am hoping i d as well as rainy sue on remicade on

tuesday. i am tired and sore and fight to make it my 4 hrs a day. but i am

praying to get my life back. but right now, i'll get dizzy again, run close

to 100 and feel like garbage so i'm gonna lay down.

kathy

[Guest guest]

Kathy: I am so sorry you are suffering so. Honey, I wish I could wave a

magic wand and make the pain disappear. We know it won't but I will pray for

you. I have learned to adjust my Prednisone and only call the dr. when I

need an injection for pain/swelling. As for going back to work, I tried for

two years to manage with the pain before my doctor made me quit. I could

barely walk up the walk after a day at work and was totally exhausted and in

so much pain. Have you tried disability (i forgot)? As for your parents

helping you, I know it makes you feel bad, sometimes my kids have to chip in

for my medicines and it makes me feel so bad. On the other hand ,as my

daughter says, you were always there for us and now it's our turn. As for

your parents, the love a parent feels for their child transcends above

everything else. Your father would not have gone back to work unless he

wanted to. I am sure his love for you is so great that he would do and has

done anything to help you. You are very fortunate to have such a parent. God

will reward him far better than you can.

Please don't get too discouraged and hard on yourself. It is not your fault

you are ill. RA affects us in so many ways and we cannot control it. Kathy

remember, you are a very special person and we are always here for you. If

the pain gets too bad, call the doctor. Remember, we care about you. Hope

you have a good weekend.

Blessings,

Jan

Things are about back to normal. We are going to NC to visit the grandkids

this weekend so I am looking forward to it. I am waiting to hear from Centor

(sp?) to see if they will help with Remicade. My dr. filled out all the

paperwork on his end last week. Keep your fingers crossed.

i have told her about the fevers, she just asks what my internist says. i

have called my dr already and asked for handicap pkg at work. my feet have

been killing me again. i am having a hard time working at my regular desk.

they better do something soon. i am watching the people in my dept freak out

about what is happening. i am just being quiet and trying to work. i got

really dizzy in the car last night on the way home from taking my son to

night school. traffic was really nasty, cold sweats.time to put together an

emergency phone list and medication alert in my purse or cars. this is a

priority this weekend. dan had a virus and i think i picked it up too. my

fridge turned out to be ok. so i had an expesive tour on how my fridge works.

oh well i won't complain about that. i did bring and use my cane today at

work. still my feet were throbbing and i got a pain up the back of my foot, i

was hollering!! but have rested and did some housework, saved the heavy stuff

for tomorrow. then i can rest and put my lists together sunday.

Welcome .....I can totally relate to the above statement! I just

had a fight with my husband this morning who accuses me of using my RA as an

excuse of convenience. He will never understand how wrong he is.

Anyway, I'm new to the group myself, although I have been in other online

Hi . I don't blame you for being frustrated.

Watching yourself break out in hives and sores after each

injection isn't very encouraging, especially when you don't

see an improvement. I guess your doctor is trying to make

you hold out for the 3 months that it sometimes takes to get

results, but considering the reaction you are having, I

don't think I'd be to happy about that either. Do you have

a lot of sores? There are warnings of serious skin side

effects at the RX site:

http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/mtx_wcp.htm#OS

I'm not sure how severe your sores are or how many you have,

but if you feel they are something that should be looked at,

it may be a good idea to make an appointment with your

doctor. Hang in there . I know how frustrating it is

to go through these meds without any results except for the

rotten side effects. I hope you get relief soon.

Hi a,

I can see

red welts come up and I can't help but scratch them, then

Hi :

Its nice to meet you, what part of the country

do you call home? I live in Beaverton, Oregon not

too far from Rainy... although she lives in Washington.

Got any plans for Memorial Day Weekend? To us

its just more time to spend together, we won't

be doing anything special this year. Maybe spend

most of the weekend near or in the pool. Its just

and me and we like it that way.

Just this summer the doctors said I have Fibromyalgia,

along with my Arthritis. I'm also a Heart Patient,

have Sleep Apnea and lots of back and hip pain.

I re-injured my back last summer and still trying

to recover from it.

The doc had me on some pretty heavy dosages of

Morphine Sulfate, I didn't like what it was doing

to me so they cut the perscription in half. Now

I'm only taking as needed instead of every day.

I hope to make lots of new friends here....

God Bless, Bonnie

Hi Bonnie,

I visited Oregon for two months last summer. Such a beautiful state! And

the train trip from Los Angeles to Portland and Seattle is the best route

left from the good old days on trains!

I looked forward to getting out of southern the California heat last summer.

What a laugh. It was so hot all summer that I thought I was in L.A. In

fact, I kept waiting for a rain and the only time it rained all summer was

one day when I was at the mall and did not get to enjoy the rain. I was in

ville. People told me it was unusual last summer. In fact, there

were forest fires while I was there. We could see the smoke in the

distance. I visited Seaside, Oregon. I was so surprised that the beach was

just like beaches here. I expected lots of rocks like in Maine. Mount

Hood -- the town -- was fun. I enjoyed all the towns I visited, but

Portland topped them all! What a great city. There seemed to be as many

people around at midnight as at noon. Los Angeles dies at night. Pasadena,

where I live, is jumping till all hours though. And that book store in

Portland! I understand it is the largest bookstore in the world. Can't

remember the name. We have a bookstore here in Pasadena -- Vromans -- that

has been in the same building for 104 years. I love going there too. 104

years in Europe would be a new little store, but in the U.S. it is " old " .

Sincerely,

Patsy
