Guest guest Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I don't post much because it seems someone else posts what I need to know. I am so overwhelmed right now that I just need to vent--or whatever. I was diagnosed with RA a year ago and have been on Methotrexate and Plaquinil. I am so much better than I was two years ago and I am grateful. The barometric pressure changes seem to be the only thing that still get me down real bad. It has been a year since I had a " flare " swelling and so much pain I was unable to even control with pain meds. So, I have returned to life somewhat. What is happening now--my husband who has hepatitis c and diabetes is not doing well at all. We have been together for 20 years. He told me the other day he has had thoughts of just not making it. He was given a pred injection for the flu--which has his suger going nuts. It seems the more I worry about this--the worse I get. We are each others support and neither of us feel like doing anything. He is 5'7 " and down to 123 lbs. Yall--I am just scared.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I'm so sorry that you and your husband are struggling. Would you consider going to see a counselor or some sort - together or separately? It might help a lot to talk to a third party about your situation.
