Guest guest Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Barbara and group; I am always thinking of you.. You put an imprint on my brain cells haaaaaaaaa.... You was so kind and caring to me... I was able to talk to my rheumy cause you told me so many things she could do... I have been taking 3 injections of humira already... I felt the diff in 24 hours... I got out of bed the next morning with out struggeling... The next few days I was amazed how much pain left my poor body... THe group told me it will work even better as time goes.. I am taking 1) Humira Injections one every 2 weeks for RA 2) Sulfazine 500mg 2pills twice a day...for RA 3) Lyrcia 100mgs 4 times a day,,, for fibro 4) Plaquenil 100mgs 2 times a day For RA 5) Voltaren 75 mgs one tablet twice a day.. Just got this today for osteo 6) Pain patches for osteo 7) Cortocosteriod shots in shoulders and hips every 3 months for bursitis.. I am so glad your home too... Yes get a nurse to come in to check your progress... Don't try to do to much house works either.. You did say you was doing a little each day I am proud of you.. So your one of those neaty sweeties haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.... I get around so much better.. I feel like a new person... I ask my rheumy for a walker.. SHe said see my cardiologist... Since I have a hard time getting around he can give me a script for one... I have congestive heart failure and pulmonary arterial hypertention.... The group got me all excited when they said they have a litle seat on them and I could put a small basket on one... I hate waiting in line and no where to sit.. Of course I dont go anywhere hardly now.. THis will give me a litle freedom... It has been a uphill battle for me and many others I see... I am almost completely pain free.. Its the osteo that give me a hard time now.. Maybe the new meds will help me with it... It is so great to hear from you I have been praying for you every day...

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Much love to you a. I am happy to be with my family this year. Yes, we both need a better year in 2010. You to have better health, me to be at peace and happy, and that we both do not go bald. My hair is very, very short like " Twiggy " had. It is the only way I can with my baby fine thin hair. A wig is too much hair for me too, plus it makes my head so hot!!!!  Please take care and rest when you can. I will be thinking about you tomorrow. Enjoy the day. Love and many hugs,  Barbara From: rascalsniche@... <rascalsniche@...> Subject: [ ] Hi Barbara Date: Wednesday, December 23, 2009, 9:12 PM  Merry Christmas to you. I hope you have a wonderful time with family and friends. I can't afford to lose hair. lol Its amazing. My sister always had big hair...I think she got some of mine. I just notice when I brush my hair..and use a brush that doesn't pull...I see strands coming out. I know we always lose some but I can't afford it. Years ago I tried on wigs..and even the small, short cuts look like too much hair to me since I'm used to having the thin hair. I've thought of some of those that you add onto existing hair..with the barettes.... but it would just slide thru it. I've even checked out the wigs that the weave in with your own hair and I can see that doing lots of damage. my hair breaks easily so I would definitely be bald using that. Oh well, its not too bad...just don't want to lose anymore. My next life .... Maybe one of these days. I'll look into human hair if I have to. might as well buy a good one. Thank you Barbara..... sending hugs your way and hope that we're in for a better year. we could use one. Hugs..a  I too have baby fine hair, and hope I don't lose my hair. I feel awful for you. Bad enough to have RA, take those killer drugs, now your hair is falling out. I hope you buy yourself the most beautiful wig you find. If that happens to me, I sure will.    I want to wish you a Merry Christmas, and a healthy and happy new year. I know you will enjoy your family so much, and your holiday decorations. Enjoy your day totally.    Much love to you, my dear friend. My wish for you is better health, to be pain free, and to enjoy your life better and with ease. Talk soon.  Many hugs, Love, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
