Re: Tawny feeling like the flu

[Guest guest]

Clora,

I hope you were able to nap today. I have insomnia really bad!! I

go to bed around 2:30AM, and up around 11:00AM, I usually don't nap.

I have sleeping pills, but I don't like to take them when hubby is

gone. I know how Prednisone is, it makes me weird.

Sometimes, I have to take a break from the RA group. I've been on

here for a long time, but sometimes I'm not able to post much. When I

am on the RA group, I try to support others. When I was first

diagnosed, I was devastated. I want to be here for all of you, as

long as I can write.

It seems like your taking care of yourself with all those doctors.

Now, I will have to add a pulmonary and heart doctor to the list. I

just don't like going to the doctor. Weird, I almost married

one,lol We dated for a long time, and it didn't bother me at all

that he was a doctor.

Yes, get your flu shot, girl! We might have a bad year, who knows!

I will get mine the next time I see my GP doc,lol Like Nov, I know!

Hey, at least I do it, I'm just the last one there. That is me.

Well, you take care. Hope the Humira is still working,and your taking

advantage of it. I'm so glad your doing better, Tawny

Tawny and group;

I took a couple cat naps. I don't have insomnia, I had it for only

about a month once, personally it made me crazy. I only got the

insominia from the prednisone. I back to my sleepy self now since I

am off the prednisone. I take a xanax everyone night to help me

relax.

I know what you mean by taking a break from the group; I take one

for a day or two. When I do wow all the posts I get is immence. I

like to read all post, however; I can't read a long post that don't

have paragraphs, I start seeing double.

I had a 102 posts one time and I read them all. Most was to

welcome someone or thanking the group for their help. I know you

try to support others, you will comment on most posts. Your so

caring and kind to almost every post. I can't comment on all post.

I always comment to someone that sent me a post though. And I like

to welcome all new people.

I do have a lot of doctors but I have talked to people that had

twice as many. I try to take care of every condition I have. THe

one I worry about the most I PAH (pulmonary arterial hypertention)

I don't really know how long I have to live with it. I heard 5

years at the most unless it was not serious when it was diagnosed,

or they can find a lung for transplant after the arteries start to

close in it.

The enlarged right atrium concerns me. I don't know how serious it

is to have that. I don't mind going to the doctors. I just got to

start writting questions down before I see them. None of the

diagnoses is worse than RA. The pain was so bad I was unable to

function. The humira injections are working unbelievable on the RA

pain. I can't believe it took the pain away just like that.

I woke up for a bedtime snack and couldnt go back to sleep. I am

getting sleepy now so I think I will hit the hay. I don't have a

problem sleeping except when I take the prednisone. I am off of it

now. I hope they have something for Osteo pain, thats what my

rheumy will work on next. I use pain patches for it now but it only

takes away about half of the pain.

Take care Tawny. I read the other posts you send and I am so sorry

for the sadness you have in your life. You have faith in God so

expect a miracle and God will help you I promise sweety. I know

sometimes it seems like he has forgot you but believe me he hasn't.

I thought it sometimes. We must keep our faith. Good night and God

bless.

gentle hugs

Clora
