Guest guest Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 At the moment, I'm studying abroad in England in order to become an Archaeologist. I have so many opportunities ahead of me, so many great experiences, but I can't help but feel a little scared. There is so much about RA that I don't know...so many things could happen that could prevent me from reaching my goals. I have exams in a week...three hour sessions on a year's worth of material...and two digs to go on this summer...sometimes I just feel like I don't have the energy. I am constantly exhausted, no matter how much sleep I get at night, and I just don't feel like I will be able to work as hard as I used to. I know that I am very new to the group, but I thought maybe I could voice some of my concerns and get a little support. Hate to complain and complain, but sometimes it helps ...if anyone has any thing to contribute about energy management, etc...would be incredibly appreciated. Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend and Mother's Day...since I can't be with mine, please send her your love! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 Hey ~ The whole loss of energy thing is all related to RA. I know how it is. I used to be able to work 12 hours shifts 3 days in a row, and now i am barely able to get thru one 12 hour shift. Sometimes i find that if i take Motrin, it can make me last longer. But, in reality, with this illness it comes with the territory. There really isn't much to do. And complaining is the best thing that we as RA people get to do with eachother, because you know what, we don't care. We know how it is and so we can feel your pain, literally. But on a lighter note, that is so cool what you are doing. Sometimes i wish that i had the guts to go abroad and do stuff. The farthest place i can go is New Hampshire. Which is where i am going on vacation the first weekend in August. I have some friends that are out there and I haven't seen them in 2 years, so i am excited to go out there and visit. One of my farorite things to do is to travel. If i could have a job that could take me anywhere, i would so take it. Kind of like what you are doing. Damn, i should have decided to be an archeaologist instead of trying to be a veterinarian. But, oh well, i love the profession that i am in. I hope that you are having a good day, and email me again when you get a chance.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Hey I know your stress Allie had one with first cast but it was near the front cut out where we could see it. We used neosporin and sometime aquaphor and cover with gauze. She seems to get sores on her hip bones almost every time but they are not open sores so we normally coat them with aquphor a few times a day and they get better before the next cast. Where I'd the sore and what does it look like(is it open). Hope this helps. If u want u can take a picture and txt or email it to me(not that I'm an expert).Amy J mom to Allie(4) in 5th cast down to 14* from 56* Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerryFrom: Medlin <amanda.medlin@...>Sender: infantile scoliosis treatment Date: Thu, 19 Aug 2010 15:08:28 -0700 (PDT)<infantile scoliosis treatment >Reply infantile scoliosis treatment Subject: EEK! CAST PARENTS PLEASE HELP---We just took Logan's cast off and he has his first cast sore. It looks like the begining of one (small) but what works the best to get rid of this? IS it feesable to think that it will go away in 5 days? (next cast is suppose to go on on Wed) My thoughts were a glop of neosporin? Does anything work better or faster?thanks everyone!Logan's mama 14 months old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
