Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Dear Jody, You are such a sweetie, and you are so incredibly good at putting into words what so many of can't find the right words for. I know exactly what you mean about " missing " someone who is there. My hubby - Al - has a slew of health issues as well as taking care of me when I get sick. When I get sick, I get clingy, like.... " please love me, I feel like I'm not worthy of your love cuz I'm sick, so please prove that you love me by smooching, snuggling, hugging, etc " . But when Al gets sick, he isolates. I used to drive him nuts during those times but I've finally learned to leave him alone and that is the hardest thing in the world for me to do. I think he needs the comforting, but the reality is I need it because the damned sickness is taking him away from me. And I hate it too. He knows it but he just can't help it. I wish I could tell you I have the answer but I don't. Just want to let you know I've been there and you're not alone. Carole from hollywood fl **************Start the year off right.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 , you are so sweet to ask. I'm a hurting unit at the moment. Yes, I over did it (as usual) and I'm paying for it. I went to the chiropractor today (great guy) and he stretched my back (never cracks me) and used that stapler sounding thing on me. Told me to stop walking in the water for a day though and to see him again in two weeks unless I'm in need before that. I've been under a great deal of stress lately; it triggered a flare up. I'm off until Sunday and the store knows NOT to call me, that I need to rest. Now tell me about you. How are you feeling? Thaanks again for asking. Take care and be well.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 I just wanted to drop a line and thank all of you for your kind words and suppport. I know that I finally found a place where I can find support from people with the same problems. And in a way it gives me peace. Thank you. I also want to say I am so sorry for , I have no idea how scared your must be. That is a scary thing, and it's so sad that you had to wait four years to find out. I hope all of you have a good day. Thank you all again, I'm glad I have a such a great group of people to be there for be, it's amazing how such a horrible disease can bing such amazing people together. I guess the word is bittersweet. Good-bye for now. Oh wait I do have a question is anyone on Humira? And how well did it work for you?
