Just found out!

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I am 34 and just found out I have RA. I do not feel well at all. I

go see a doctor who just deals with arthritis Wednesday. I think I

am depressed or feel like I am. I wake up every morning stiff and

not wanting to even get up. I just went through a bunch of female

problems and had surgery the first of the year, I was really sick for

two years before that so I am not so happy hearing I have this. I

was feeling great better than I have in so long, hurt once in a great

while until a month ago. I hurt everyday now, stiff every morning

and feeling like I have no life inside of me. My hands, elbows,

knees, lower back, hips and my ankles, feel like I do not have a

place now that does not ache. Does anyone have that feeling in the

body, can't really think of a word for it, just feeling of bla. I

don't know how bad it is right now but I sure feel bad. I am scared,

I have three 13 year olds and the last month or so I have not done

much of anything with them. I know they are thinking not again we

just got you back from the last time you was sick. I feel so bad for

them, I just can't get up and go. I walk I hurt, I sit I hurt and

lay down I hurt. I have pain meds but I only take them at night so I

can sleep until I go to this doctor. I am just having trouble taking

in what I have found out and its hard. Has anyone gone through this

or feels like I do? Do you all chat? If so when?

Having a hard time dealing.........

Thanks
