Re: The Pain Endures--Tawny

[Guest guest]

Tawny, It's not easy working with the pain, but for me it helps to

focus on something else. The fatigue is more difficult to work

with. I hope come January you will be able to get on something to

help you. I go see my rheumy in a few weeks to get some insightful

help from him. I count myself blessed to have such a great rheumy

and a great orthopedist. You are right, we can't give up.

Sometimes it feels like it would be so much easier to do just that,

but I have always felt that God wouldn't give us anything we

couldn't handle. I often wonder why I am going through all this,

but one day, I may know the answer, or I may not. I found that out

one day. I went through a very rough road once upon a time. I

always wondered " why me " ? Then, 5 years later, I found out why. I

was able to help a child with what she was going through because of

what I went through. I never questioned His reasoning again!! I was

all the more stronger for what I went through and blessed for having

known why. I just find it relieving, refreshing, and fortunate to

be able to talk to people like you. Perhaps in my venting someone

else will see themselves and know they are not alone and also see

what may help them. Thank you for your kind words, Tawny....Blessed
