Re: Doreen quit the study

[Guest guest]

Doreen and group;

Doreen I am so glad you quit the study... Now you can consern

yourself with you completely... I am glad to hear you got some

prednisone to help with the pain...

I know fall behind one day on the post and you really got a pile up..

fall behind like Barbara and your really piled up .... I think

barbara was 3 months behind... That is a lot of posts... probably a

total of a thousand post... I gave her some good advise on how to get

all the post done...

The voltaren meds my rheumy prescribed is working... I can't believe

it... It's working really good... I thought I would need another

injections to help the back pain but the first med she tries works...

Yes I agree,,, this is an amazing group and I feel God sent me here

to help me with this RA... and who knows maybe I have soothed someone

with my words too...

When my rheumy first prescribed me medication I didnt care what the

side effects were I took them... I told my mental health doctor if

she gave me rat arsenic I would have taken it.... The pain was so bad

I didnt care about the side effects...

I don't understand why we are so tired... Seems like the less one

does the more tired they are... Its like taking a trip riding in a

car all day... you have done nothing but your so tired... j

My rheumy ask me all the time are you really sleepy and I say no.. I

guess all these meds make people tired... Now if she ask me are you

weak I could say yes.. I feel very weak at times...

I remember when I was a young child I heard that arthritis pain never

completely goes away,,,, now I understand this.... I remember

thinking what does that mean...

I am so glad you quoted the scripture Mathew 18:20 For where there

are two or three come together in my name,,, there am I with them...

That is why I agree on a lot of prayers its as we are standing

together in Jesus name...

Thanks Doreen,,, I enjoy your post so much...

gentle hugs

Clora
