Re: feel like I have been hit by a truck

[Guest guest]

Hi CJ,

I am so sorry about all the pain. You shouldn't have to work those hours. And

especially in the cold. That must be agonizing. Is there some way you could

transfer to another dept. that wouldn't be so stressfull? You know where

there is stress there is pain. You need to think of your emotional being too.

Sometimes the emotions take over so much more than the disease. I know I am

there now. But Ihave so many good friends here. It's a good thing. LOL Keep

the faith. I am praying for you.

Hugs

with hurting so bad? My boss wanted me to stay over a few hours but I

just couldn't. I felt bad for refusing but knew I would have trouble

tomarrow morning if I did. And I have to work tomarrow as well as

Sunday too which will make 6 days in a row. I am trying to get a job

in Loss Prevention so Idon't have to lift so much anymore.

Dr. called to confirm my appointment for Monday. What if she doesn't

believe me about the pain? What do I do? I am afraid of that as well

as not being given meds and just basically being brushed off. I'm

sick of this pain. I can't live like this anymore and this dr. is my

last hope.

Sorry to whine and complain. I am not like this. I am just hurting so

badly that I feel like the world is caving in on me. Thanks for

listening.

I'm sorry that you had a bad day at work. I think that is too much

to be working like that, in your condition. Please, do check with

your doctor about reducing your hours at work.

Your doctor should understand what your going through, just be

truthful. Just let her know how your feeling, and let her know how

much pain your in, good luck Tawny

I have not posted in song long that I have forgotten how to post a general

message. I need help. I have just been diagnosed with discitis. I have RA for

about 6 years mostly untreated since I have only Medicare and I can't afford the

medicines, Dies anyone know if RA can lead to an infection in the discs and

if there is any relation with degenerative disc disease and connective tissue

disease like Scleroderma? Or even with RA? Please write back and remind me how

to post this on the site but you are free to pass it on also. HELP. please!

In my reply to this...if the doctor does not believe that you are hurting, then

email me and I will come there and punch the crap out of him. Any doctor who

knows someone with RA should know that there is a lot of pain associated with

this disease. So in my opinion, if he doesn't give you anything, let me take a

crack at him/her.

p.s. sorry about all the frustration, but it just makes me mad when docotors

don't understand. just let them live in your shoes for a day and then they will

think twice

I'm so sorry I can't be much help, but Lupus, RA , Scleroderma, MS, Crones are

all auto-immune diseases. I know many of us have overlapping symptoms. My mother

has Lupus too, but she has Central Nervous System Involvement (Lupus is

attacking her brain) and she has many MS symptoms (jerking , slurring words).

That isn't help to you I know, but maybe it will lead to discussion .

EF....I don't know if this will help, but I have scleroderma and

severe degeneration of my spine. It is at every level,cervical,

thoracic, and lumbar. Also have numerous osteophytes. My local docs

felt is was unrelated to the scleroderma, but went I went to s

Hopkins they said it was very much related as the discs are

connective tissue....so if you are dealing with a connective tissue

disease then ...there you go.....I can't answer the RA portion of

your question but I am sure someone will..hope this helps .....Kathi
