Guest guest Posted May 20, 2002 Report Share Posted May 20, 2002 Hi Sharyn, In knowing how awful this ugly thing we call OCD is for my child, and knowing how worrisome it is to me the parent, I'm always delighted to hear of others having combated this monster, if even for a weekend. Good luck to even better days in the future. I wish your son well. Glenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 First I want to thank all of you for your wonderful messages when I was so down about RA. You are all great people!!! I started methotrexate and decreased my sulfasalazine from 2 pills twice a day to one pill twice a day last week. I was worried about side effects from the mtx, but I really didn't have any. I only had some very minor nausea. This past weekend I was able to ride my horse for drill team on Saturday and go on a BEAUTIFUL trail ride on Sunday. I was tired after each activity, but not completely fatigued. I have also been allowing myself to take naps when I feel tired. Before I would feel like that was giving in, but now I just realize that's what my body needs. I still have quite a bit of pain in my hands and elbows, but I feel I can work through the pain. So ... I just wanted to share my thanks and some good news about this past weekend. I hope everyone else is doing well!! HUGS KD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Hi KD: Such wonderful news, and so happy you were able to have such a great time this weekend. I am glad you are able to take the MTX, and only have slight nausea. That is good news too. It is good you realize your body needs to rest and take naps. It is an important key while managing our RA. I too hated to give into the tiredness, but soon realized how much I needed to rest and nap. Wishing you more good days, and that you will be pain free soon. Hugs, Barbara > > First I want to thank all of you for your wonderful messages when I was so > down about RA.
