Re: Re: Does the pain EVER end?

[Guest guest]

Shauna is right. It always hurts, you get used to that and how to cope w/it.

Find a doctor that will help you. There are more options than Vicodin and

Plaquenil.

Treatment may take time.

The mind and body are

amazing miracles and

if you choose a positive attitude

(this is making me a stronger, wiser person)

you eventually get used to the pain.

No matter what you do

it's going to hurt so

go on out and

live it up.

Good Luck

this the RA, the fibro or something else?

I am newly diagnosed with RA but was diagnosed with Fibro in 2001. I

do have a prescription for Vicodin but honestly, all that does is

knock me out. I need something to keep this pain at bay and be able

to FUNCTION on a daily basis.

Seriously.... Life is starting to SUCK and I don't know HOW I am

going to cope. I spent an hour in therapy on Monday crying over

this.... It seems as if life as I knew it is over. I realize I can't

have that life back but I would like to find out how I can cope with

THIS life..... *sigh* I feel as if I am grieving that old life....

Thanks. Someone mentioned to me on another message board that I am going

through the 5 stages of grieving..... Grieving the life I had before RA. Makes

alot of sense to me!

There's good news and bad news.

The bad news is:

it is always going to hurt.

The good news is:

you get used to it.
