Guest guest Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Hi everyone, I am writing in the hopes that I will be understood and forgiven for being so lax about our group.You all have been so kind over the MANY years I have been a member of this wonderful group.It seems that lately I have had one medical problem after the other,which has influenced my mental state!I am just not getting over, in the docs words, flaming bladder infection!I also have no apetite except for lemon popcycles,which keeps my mouth from being so dry that my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth!Pretty huh!!!!!!I am almost always nauseated,thank goodness for my wonderful husband who has stayed home with me since last Friday.I am going down state Sunday to see a breast surgeon one day and have a biopsy of an Enbrel induced rash!It is just never ending.I am so sad that I don't have the energy to do even a quarter of the energy I had just a lifetime ago.I hate getting old,because this disease already makes you feel older than you are.I pray that for the 10 days my kids are taking me to the place I was born. We are all supposed to go to Wisconsin in June and stay in a huge house with our kids and grands, except maybe our youngest son and daughter-in-law and one year old grandson.They don't get a vacation until July.Please pray I feel well enough to travel.It is 11 to 13 hours and we will spend one night half way there.I am really looking forward to going,but I don't want to spend the majority of my time laying down.I am very thankful to have so many great friends here,otherwise I'd have to tell Bill the same stuff over and over again and he deserves better. Anyway,thanks for reading if you did and I will try to be more positive. love Elly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Oh, Elly, I am so sorry things are going so crappy for you recently. Sorry, but I can't come up with a better word for it than that. I really hope you feel up to the trip. That sounds like fun! Going around to doctors really isn't much fun. Blah...keep your spirits up and hang in there! April Sent from my Verizon Wireless Phone Being depressed!

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 I can relate, as I have been in the same boat for the past few years. I really have to be in a good mood to post, and as you can tell the past week or so has been good to me....but than again it has been in the high 60's low 70's here, which is way above normal for this time of year in lousy NE Pa!!!! Generally speaking, when I don't feel well it isn't only physically...the mental aspect is brutal also. Luckily I'm able to keep busy with my kids and some work wherever I can find it (I mean anything, from washing my car to rebuilding the suspension.....) which keeps my mind occupied, but when I am physicaslly hurting and pretty much not able to move I start to think, and than I wind up on a downhill slide. My Dr. recently changed around my anti depressant which seems to be a step in the right direction. I do have to thank many in this group...which is why I still ofer advice when I feel well enough to do so.
