AN ODE TO RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS AND NEUROPATHY

[Guest guest]

THE PAIN IN MY BODY IS STILL GOING ON - RELENTLESSLY, WAVES OF

PAIN IN MY JOINTS, AND DEEP MUSCLES, FROM RHEUMATOID ARTHRIS AND

FIBROMYALGIA AND NEUROPATHY OF THE FEET.

I FEEL LIKE A CAPTIVE IN THIS HOUSE, ME AND MY 3 DOGS, MY NEW

COMPANIONS......WE ARE GIVEN REGULAR FEEDINGS AND WATER, WE DO NOT

HAVE VISITORS SINCE I BECAME DISABLED. MY FAMILY IS VERY, VERY BUSY

WITH THEIR LIVES. I AM ALONE, A CAPTIVE IN MY OWN BODY, THE DOORS

ARE UNLOCKED, THE CAR IS RIGHT OUTSIDE, MY BODY LOCKS ME IN THIS

HOUSE, MY BODY FORBIDS FROM GETTING FROM GETTING DOWN THE 3 STAIRS

TO THE OUTSIDE, MY BODY FORBIDS ME FROM DRIVING, THE ARTHRITIS IN MY

FEET AND TOES AND THE NEUROPATHY, THE PAIN OF FIRE AND ELECTICAL

SHOCKS, KEEP ME FROM BEING ABLE TO STAND, NOW AFTER BECOMING

DISABLED, FRIENDS HAVE LEFT, THEY ARE UNCOMFORTABLE AROUND ME AND MY

CHANGES FROM THE " OLD " ME. SO IF I WERE NOT A CAPTIVE AND COULD

GET " OUT " WHERE WOULD I GO..........?
