Guest guest Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Hi everyone; This RA is so aweful. I hear from others on our support group that we get relief sometimes. I am looking for that time. I think just to talk to someone about it helps a lot. I never knew people could endure such pain constantly. I gave birth to 2 children. I know pain. I heard passing a stone is painful as giving child birth. So I am sure men have suffered much pain. But this RA goes on and on. Thanks for letting me tell about it. I hurt so bad. I cant walk. I have fibromyalgia and bursitis. Anymore I don't know which is really hurting me cause I was told my muscles will hurt from the RA. Some one please tell me what I can take to relieve this pain? Am I going to be sitting doing nothing for the rest of my life? Clora May From: Sally King <simplesal2002@...> Subject: Re: [ ] Re:Looking for work?

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Oh my Jill! I am so sorry to hear this news! I imagine you are upset as well. RoxannaYou're UniqueJust like everyone else... ( ) New topic Dear friends, A tragedy in our neighborhood recently alerted me to a danger I had never considered. A 16-year-old boy with Asperger's, the son of another mother I know, recently died in his sleep. The night before, she thought he had the flu and called the doctor, who asked if his fever was under 100 degrees and also asked if he was urinating and vomiting. (Perhaps he was checking to see if the boy was dangerously dehydrated?) Her answer was yes, so the doctor thought it would be OK for him to stay at home and come in the next day to be checked. It now looks as if the boy had sudden-onset juvenile diabetes. He was always thirsty and was going to the restroom frequently at school, but hadn't mentioned this to his mother -- and nobody at school had noticed these symptoms and alerted her. He had never mentioned them to her either. He probably died after going into a diabetic coma. My own son often doesn't tell us when he isn't feeling well, but it's usually my husband who notices and asks if he's OK. I'm not writing this to scare everyone, but just to remind all of us (including myself) that we can't always depend on our kids to tell us if something is wrong.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 That is so terrible. I wonder if he was on any medications that affect blood sugar. I've had a few patients who developed type 2 diabetes related to their psych meds and also heard an ad for abilify cautioning that it's a side effect. > > Oh my Jill! I am so sorry to hear this news!

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Thank you so much for reminding us all that we need to check in with our children often. Even though they may hate it when we do it I know my son does. Can you tell me other then being thristy what if any are other things I can be looking for? I worry because of his weight.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 has two friends who nearly ended up this way. One boy was lethargic all day when he normally talked incessantly. He was drinking loads and loads of water. It was easter day and he ate loads of candy on top of all this. His sugar was 500 which is very near death. His mother took him to Children's Medical Center in Dallas, TX and it took ages to get the sugar to come down. This happened last year and when we moved to where we are now had a boy in his class who has to have insulin injections. I talked to his mom and mentioned the friend in TX and she said it happened the same with her child. rarely says when he is sick but I think I notice pretty small changes so I hope I would realize if he started to have problems like these. I'm more aware since we have people close to us who have had similar problems. Miriam > > Dear friends, > > A tragedy in our neighborhood recently alerted me to a danger I had never considered.
