Guest guest Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Hi Dreamer: This is all new to me, and very disheartening as well in the way they treat our vets. I do want to say that you definately are a very strong woman to have gone through what you have, not only with your husband, and your children, but now with your own RA battle. Yes, I used to wonder if RA was really what I had. Denial. We all go through it, for nobody wants to hear that we have an incurable disease, there is no way to tell what will happen over the years, and it will change your life in more ways than you could ever realize. It's a very normal reaction to question the dx, even though your body is telling you that it's true. I am sorry that your husband was treated the way he was, and that homeless vets, as he might have been thought to be, have no voice at all. I hope that your husband does change his mind and go to his doctors, but knowing how hard it is to get a person without mental issues to go to a doctor, I can only imagine your struggle to get him care. I also want to commend you on your fight over the last 10 years as a public advocate for veterans and disabled people, as well as mental and neurological illnesses. If just one person becomes more aware of what is happening, it is worth it. You never know just who you will touch when you speak. I am sure you are doing more good than you will ever know. I hope that you can continue your advocacy. You are doing very good work, speaking for those who often cannot speak for themselves. Take care - Kathe Kathe " To ride a horse is to borrow freedom.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 It just seems sort of silly to me that I still try to be in denial, LOL- cuz I think it has been 5 yrs since I was dx'ed? I should be a little more accepting of it by now. (Well, I am accepting on the bad days, go figure?) And then I think that when I have a good day, I prolly overdo it and well, thats not so wise. But it feels SO good at the time. :-) - In , Kathe Sabetzadeh <lv2ryd@...> wrote: > > Hi Dreamer: > > This is all new to me, and very disheartening as well > in the way they treat our vets.
