Guest guest Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 I just wanted to pop in an d let you all know that I hold you tight in ny thoughts and prayers, None of this is easy for any of us. We watch our bodies slowly dwindle away and there is nothing we can do about it. We need to lean upon one another drawing strength when needed offering strenght when we can spare it. Speaking for myself there have been several times when i would have like nothing more but than to give in, From my sons death, to our home burning, to being dagnses with cancer the first time and losing all of my hair, the this RA and fibromalgia, andnow back to cancer only this time the chemo is destroying my teeth, so went yesterday to have the pulled out snd dentures put in, Which is why I take the MTX injections, bothers my stomach, I do read all of the posts here, just don't always have the tine to answer them. My prayers are always with you all. In Friendshp Vicki I am here if anyone needs to chat for a bit In Friendship Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Vicki, You are such an inspiration to us all. With all you have been through, your able to give a part of you to this group, and were so fortunate to have you. Glad you got your dentures > > I just wanted to pop in an d let you all know that I hold you tight in ny thoughts and prayers, None of this is easy for any of us.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Tawny, Thank you so much fro your kind words but it is all of you who are inspiration to me. Before this group, I would come home form work, lie on the couch and cry because I was so confused about what was going on in my own body. No one understood just how painful this is. My only support was my husband and my children. Now every time I turn the computer on and have a free moment or two I have a roomful of wonderful friends who do understand. I was truly blessed two weeks ago when I found this group and all of you. Vicki Iowa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Vicki, I feel the same way, this group is amazing!!! When I was first dx, I had no idea what to do. I knew nothing about RA, I was in bed for days. I decided to get a PC, and find out information on RA. I've been here ever since, and always will. Its so great to have friends who really know what your going through. I've had friends, co-workers who just kind of say, " oh yeah " , they have no idea whats going on. I'm glad your here, and if you need someone to talk to, just email me, Tawny > > Tawny, > Thank you so much fro your kind words but it is all of you who are inspiration to me.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Thanks Tawny I may not post alot but I do read every email that comes through, I plan to be with this group for a very long time. No one understands me like all of you. The last few weeks have been a godsend and I have learned so much about RA that I never knew before, When I go back to my Rheumy next month she will wonder what has happened to me. You are so right having a disease like this, painful crippling etc changes us all. But together we can through it. I am a firm believer that God doesn't give us any more than we can handle. That he has a purpose for each of us. There are times however I wish he would just tell me what it is so I could get it done. Had to have the stitches removed from my mouth and drive the full 100 miles each way by myself. Not a good day for a flare-up but oh yeah it just had to come. Hips and lower back were in spasms all day. But I survived. Tomorrow has got to be better hopefully. I have already learned there are no guarantees. I wish you all a good nights rest, My thoughts and prayers are with you always. Vicki Iowa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Vicki, I hope the rest of the week goes better for you. We just take one day at a time, that is all anyone can do. I'm so glad your here with us. I only got two hours sleep. I stayed up too long, trying to catch up on posts. I'm taking my dog in to get neutered today. I have to travel quite aways, and its rainy, foggy, and cold. Not wanting to get out in the weather, but its got to be done. I'm in a flare today. My fingers, wrists, feet, knees are hurting so badly. My ankles are very painful and swollen, which is a bit unusual for me. Not sure why they are swollen, unless I've been on them too much, dealing with all these dogs. Oh well, I will just keep going. You take care today. I hope you catch a nap, and pamper yourself. We have to once in awhile. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Tawny > > Thanks Tawny > I may not post alot but I do read every email that comes through, I plan to be with this group for a very long time.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Vickey and group; I was reading all the post and had to comment on this one... I can't comment on all cause there are so many... I would love to comment on each post but I would never stop cause they would keep coming haaaaa... I wanted to agree with you Vickey that God will not put more on us than we can bear...God has a purpose for all of us we must seek him to find this purpose... First we need to put our trust in him I am sure you will agree... I am so sorry you have to go a hundred miles to have stitches removed... Cant another doctor closer remove them???? I took my own stitches out,,, not recommended though.... Yours may be special type since its in/on your mouth... I am so glad I found this group also Vicky they have brought much into the light for me... What everyone can do to get their post read easier is to make paragraphs.... I found out when I read them without paragraphs I lose my space... told us this when I was in the group awhile so I started doing it... I love to hear about my God when reading... God bless and take care.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Tawny, Vicki and Group, It is so wonderful having a group of people who pray for each other. It is scary to think what my days would be like without the support from each of you and God. I hope everyone has a much better tomorrow.
