Guest guest Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Good morning to all my RA friends. I am sure that no body here was be littling anyone. This group is a large support group where one can vent, where one can go where they are totally understood. I know there are people here not getting the support that they need and deserve but also there are ones here that are lucky enough to have the support. I am on other support groups also and even though we talk about our diseases we also talk about good things in our lives and it gives hope to those that don't have it. It is unfortunate when one person feels targeted at but I am assuming that when one writes in here then it is written to all and not one individual. If I wanted to email an email to just one person in particular then I would send it to them via personal email. This is a great group where we get to hear the sadness, the pain but also the happy times and support of others just like ourselves. have a nice day, hugs, Corinne tracierae143 wrote: > Ebony, > > I agree with Judi.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Ebony, Please don't leave the group. I just want you to know that I'm here for you, and I do understand. I'm really hoping that you will change your mind, hugs Tawny > Dear Ebony, > > Actually, I think most of the posts regarding supportive husbands were > directed at Angie's original post about her husband's lack of support > for her condition.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Wow, I'm glad on the update, been really worried. I'm so sorry for your loss! I really, really , really understand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just got back from Wyoming (where I seen the doc while there) and was visiting my dying mother. The chaos with that is overwhelming to say the least. I am thankful for the 11 days I spent with her prior to her demise. It is all so difficult. My signifigant pos is on my crap list at the moment and probably for all eternity. I will leave it at that. So, I'm right with ya in that dept. as well. I'm so glad that you are better. It has been quite awhile since hearing from you last. I'm sorry that it ended up being from the kitty. I know how much you love them. I hope to hear from you again soon. In the meantime, you take care and you know to e-mail me direct whenever you need anything. XXX's Kim PS: remember we got future plans on that b b cue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 It doesn't matter because I will travel to any part of the region if I like the doctor. I have decided to find a lab in my area and that will take care of my PT checks for the Coumadin levels. Then I won't worry about getting to the hospital except for rx refills or checkups.. I don't think there is a good one where I am. There isn't much out here in the way of medical care in my experience. A nurse from my last hospital stay gave me a card for her personal doctor, but it depends on what hospital the doctors are affiliated with, however. I am not too fond of the one in this area. Care wasn't that great at recent stay except for the nice nurse who gave me her doctor's card. There are a few still good ones out there. Don't want to say the name of the hospital. My experience may be different from someone else's. I have used MSM for pain control but since the liver enzymes are elevated I was told by the rheumatologist to stop using it. So all of my herbal remedies have been put on hold. Although, I am seriously thinking of going back to the alfalfa tea. It helped me tremendously. The relief is temporary but so is everything else.
