Guest guest Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 I am sorry for your diagnosis of Ra and possible lupus. I was very touched by your openness of your fears. Please be encouraged. I think we have all been there. My daughter was close to 2 when I was diagnosed. I lived in fear that I would not be here to see her grow up. She died 2 years ago at age 11. I have been told God took care of that fear for me by family members. Maybe so. But it just goes to show nothing is guaranteed not even for the very young and yet I am still here after many years of RA meds, including methotrexate and the more dangerous ones like bextra, motrin, celebrex, vioxx, arava. So please be encouraged, cherish every moment of the children's lives, do all in your power to stay here with them including, a positive upbeat outlook, fears bring negativity into your life, so conquer your fears, also pray -- it can't hurt. See a doctor you trust to care for you and keep you here a very long time. Eat healthy, exercise when you can. I know how hard it can be, but exercise keeps you here longer. I will whisper a prayer for you and your family for health, wealth, happiness and longevity. this website brought encouragement to me, so I will share it with you. just reading some of their stories, they are all living long lives: http://www.rheumatic.org/medhist.htm peace and healing, Ebony --------------------------------- How low will we go?
