> Hi ...

Thanks for the reply...as to your questions, no I have not tried

those meds yet, not sure when I am going to be put on them, yes I am

seeing a rheymatologist, my visits with him or very short, and not so

sweet. When first going to him it was every couple of weeks, I am now

down to every three months, which to me is progress. But I still

don't feel as though I am getting much better. I am not sure what

others go through, but I can tell you that I have my days of

frustration. My marriage broke up because of this, and it is hard to

find someone that is willing to accept this condition. It is

especially hard with the grandbabies, they do not understand that

Mammie hurts and cannot pick you up. I am glad that I found this

group and just happend upon it today. I have read the messages that

others have left and it seems like there is a nice little family

here. My family has been very supportive, but nice to have someone

that understands what I am going through. I hope to hear from you

again, and anyone else that wishes to chat.

Hugs..
