Guest guest Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 My attention span is so short right now, I think I am getting overwhelmed and depressed. Not all of it is especially cuz of the RA- but I do get frustrated by how much the RA took outta me. I have come here a few times and I post a little and then I forget to come back again. EVeryone here seems to know so much, it is incredible. ANd you all are so nice. I used to work 2 full time jobs and go to nursing school and have an immaculate home- and my 3 kids and I would do some of the silliest things for fun. I loved crawling in the tubes at chuckee cheeses, stuff like that. The first 2 years I was sick, I had no insurance. Flares were much more intense and violent, even, but much much farther apart, so most of the time I could continue on as normal. Flares are less intense most of the time, now, BUT they are nonstop, and I am always sleepy and I have become so weak. I cannot work, I hardly can do housework, I sleep, bathe, nap, visit with the kids on the cuch or on my bed, nap again, they take me out for a car ride and a bite to eat- and gosh by then I am ready for bed again. They help me comb my hair and brush my teeth and get clothes on. This is silly. 2 years ago this is what I did with my ptients for a living. My lil guy is just turnd 9 and I feel like gosh- I want to play with him. I need to power off, it is my middle childs 14th birthday, LOL. I can blow up some balloons and make things look festive if I can get someone here to tie them....the silly things I used to take for granted. - In , Judith Voter <lovemykj2002@y...> wrote: > Hey Dreamer > Hey there is someone her to listen I may not be able to type too good tonight but I am here.

Or maybe the pain does or the RA itself, but I am just so down and it has been a very hard day- crisis with my child at her school, found out my father moved and left no forwarding address. Seems everytime I think I am gonna come here and try to make new friends and be an active part here and everything, things just overwhelm me at home. I am gonna try to come back here later or tomorrow and say hi again, and hopefully I will have a better frame of mind and be able to hold a thought. > > THANK YOU THANK YOU- for being here.
