Guest guest Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 , I am so sorry that work is this difficult for you. I know you are miserable with the swelling. I pray it get better soon. I hope that you have a good day with your children in spite of your body not co-operating. Bless you, Shirley > > I normally don't rant or vent but I guess its my time. I have been working with adults who have developmental disabilities now for almost 2 years. I love working with them. My new schedule sucks though my body just can't handle it. I my individuals work in a dish room at villa julie college and I work wednesday, thursday and friday 1pm to 10pm that part of my week isn't what kills me. I work on saturday as well from 9am to 10pm. > > yesterday I was wearing my shoes and well my feet started bothering me so i went out to the car and changed what i had on to a different pair. I put on my crocs and my feet were swelled up, my heels hanged off the end of them. I continued to work like that all day yesterday. On top of all this one of the rides was late to get my individual home. At that point I was in so much pain. > > Today, I still hurt. I promised my kids that I would be at the monthly event planned for me, my exhusband, and his soon to be wife. We are going to the Ren Fest. I hope I will survive.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Oh ,I so very much feel your pain. What do your co-workers say? Mine are understanding, but I often fell like such a slacker. I thank them all the time for understanding and to please bare with me, I have only started medication for 3 months and I am hopeful something will work. I have worked so hard to get where I'm at and I also have a 2 year contract to work off, or I will have to pay back my tuition with interest. Take care and thank youso much for venting, I feel so alone, and nobody understands the pain, swelling and so much discomfort. katie From: Massey <renandstimpy3@...> Subject: [ ] Rant/vent Date: Sunday, September 14, 2008, 10:06 AM I normally don't rant or vent but I guess its my time.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 , I want to say, your amazing for working with adults who have challenges. With all the pain you have, your there for them. I'm hoping someone will work with you, and change your schedule to meet your needs. I have an outing next month, so I know how you feel. You promise to do something, and when it's that day, your body is usually out of whack. I'm not sure what meds you are on. Have you thought about taking Prednisone, or a shot to get you feeling better? Just a thought. I will be sending good vibes your way, Tawny > > > > > > I normally don't rant or vent but I guess its my time.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 I was on MTX but was taken off of it because of severe nausea even on the injectable.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 , My next step will be Remicade. I've heard a lot of positive results from the med. I am on both Humira and Mtx, and I am still in pain, but I am still moving too. So, without it, I can tell the difference. I was off for awhile, and hardly able to move. Good luck, and I hope you find something to help you. I know with your work, you need some help. Take care, Tawny > > I was on MTX but was taken off of it because of severe nausea even on the injectable.
