Re: Clora's in Pain OT

[Guest guest]

Autumn and group;

What a great name. Here's what I think your saying. WE have to stop

out shots because the medicine stops our immune sytem from working at

full capacity. The shots can cause infections to get much worse.

I got very good explanations from everyone. Its the big words that

make it hard for me like suppress. So our immune system is what makes

the RA so bad. From what I have read I think it means that our immune

system attacks our joints because it thinks our joints are foregn

invaders.

So we stop the shots so our immune system can get back to work to kill

what ever infection we may have at the time. I hope I finally got it

right. This is what I think everyone has explained so far. THe shots

for RA stops our immune system from doing its job with other

infections. Our joints is being attacked by our own immune system.

I do appreciate everyones explaining this. I just hope I understand

correctly. Autumn is such a nice name. I love Autumn too. All the

beautiful colors from the trees. The humira helps the RA pain really

good. Its the other pains right now I need to work on.

I take lyrcia for fibro pain. My body has been wrecked with pain. My

RA doc is slowly working on each cause. Up to date the humira takes

away the RA pain. Lyrcia takes away the fibro pain. I get steroid

shots for bursitis but it dont work completly. I guess some is better

than none lol. I heard steroid shots is bad for the bones.

Thanks so much Autumn. I hope don't put my name on the subject

line anymore. What ever I did I hope I don't do it again haaaaaaaa. I

laughed so hard at first when I saw my name on subject line. But I am

getting tired of seeing it now. We all suffer from pain here. Clora

is not special. I love you all. TAke care. I pray God will make a

cure avalable to the doctors for RA especially oh and cancer also.

gentle hugs everyone

Clora
