Guest guest Posted April 3, 2002 Report Share Posted April 3, 2002 Hi there everyone! Gosh I have been lazy keeping up! I went to South Africa for work for 2 weeks and just never seemed able to catch up on all the posts when I got back! I gave up on most but have read a ton so hopefully didn't miss anything major! I love the weight loss idea - sounds like a great initiative and Rainy Sue I think you are a star motivating everyone when you feel so lousy. I hope you get better soon! The RA has been quiet controlled but I've been having so many " drama's " and hassles with my famous baby mission that I have been a bit quiet all round. The gynae just put me on a drug called Decapeptyl (sp?), to get the endometriosis under control. It's one injection a month for 6 months and costs an absolute fortune. It basically puts you into full " menopause " for 6 months -bit weird at 26 years old - should get hot flushes, the works apparently! He's giving me 6 months after that to fall pregnant and if that doesn't work we will try Invitro. I'm a bit worried about the Decapeptyl as it apparently causes loss in bone density and with the Prednisone on top of that I am scared I won't have a skeleton left! Tried to call my Rheumy about it but she's been really busy. Has anyone here taken something similar? I'm thinking of just " overdosing " on calcium supplements to make up for it but don't know if that will help. That's enough moaning out of me for today! I've started counting my blessings every morning lately, out loud in the shower and in the car on the way to work, (I must look pretty daft!). I add in a few positive uplifting " feeling " words like LOVE, CONFIDENCE, ENTHUSIASM, ENERGY etc. . It really works and puts me in a good mood for the day! Strange, but worth a try if anyone is feeling a bit down. You have to smile, even better if you can laugh!, and say it quiet loud, and with ENTHUSIASM for it to work! I will start catching up but in the mean time I wanted to send all those who are worried and in pain a big hug and prayer for a better day today! Hugs, Heidi _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
