Guest guest Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I'm sorry you feel so bad... but I'm glad we are here to listen to you vent! Just imagine how bad it would be if you were truly alone... I've been waiving my white flag for the last two weeks, but apparently this rotten disease see's my white flag as a loaded cannon, because it just wont quit tearing me apart... Hell, at this point, I'd accept being 1/2 normal... I'm really not that difficult and I'm willing to compromise. Bonnie > > > > My girlfriend tell me to get use to it this is your life now. I don't want to! > > > > Stan > > Seattle, Rainy. > > > RE: [ ] just need to vent > > Can I just say your not alone. Â I waive the white flag also!! Â I have wasted to many days on this, " Resting " . Â I want to live again.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 We all know how you feel. My rheumy prescribed me provigil which helps combat the chronic fatigue, bad side...it's not covered by most insurances since it's only medically used for narcolepsy. Have to pay out of pocket for it and it's $$$. I don't take it everyday, but it helps. Hope you feel better soon!! It's nice to vent to people who know exactly what you are going through. Hope your flare goes away soon. Much love!! > > Ok So I am ready to be done with RA now. I am so tired for the last week and I just really want it to go away now! I am hurting all over and now a new joint is flaring...my left hip. I am dreading where this is heading as I know once a joint starts to hurt it only gets worse before it levels off to a constant ache and then the joint is always sore. I was so worried about my larger joints being affected and now I am in the midst of it. I just really want to be normal again. I just need to vent today as I am tired and sore and fed up! > > I take my meds regularly, I try to eat healthy and I try to get lots of rest but sometimes it doesn't matter how much rest you get there is no helping this crappy fatigue! > > So with that said I am wishing everyone else a pain free day! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Hi " T " - I'm sorry you are having such a tough time of things. I know how disheartening this whole RA process can be. Please keep in close contact with your Rheumy. The key is getting the right combination of medications so that you are not in constant pain. Please know that depression is also something that goes hand in hand with RA and could very well be the source of your fatigue. I take Celexa every day and I've not noticed any negative side effects like I have with others. We can't sit around in anticipation of where the next problem is going to pop up. We have to find a new " normal " - we have to find new ways to cope with our everyday activities with minimal pain - we have to make adjustments and modifications to our " old life " so that we can still function. We have to be determined that this RA is NOT going to ruin us. One day at a time, dear one. Praying you are having a better day today.....Doreen Ok So I am ready to be done with RA now. I am so tired for the last week and I just really want it to go away now! I am hurting all over and now a new joint is flaring...my left hip. I am dreading where this is heading as I know once a joint starts to hurt it only gets worse before it levels off to a constant ache and then the joint is always sore. I was so worried about my larger joints being affected and now I am in the midst of it. I just really want to be normal again. I just need to vent today as I am tired and sore and fed up! I take my meds regularly, I try to eat healthy and I try to get lots of rest but sometimes it doesn't matter how much rest you get there is no helping this crappy fatigue! So with that said I am wishing everyone else a pain free day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Oh can I come join you...I will even bring my own white flag. The one thing that bothers me the most is the fatigue. I also have fibromyalgia along with the RA. Some mornings when I wake up and get through the snap, crackle and pop, I feel half way good. With this good feeling I start to do things around the house or outside. Then without any warning...bam, the fatigue bug flies over and drops a drop of fatigueitis on me. There are times that I can't even clean up the mess I had started. I have to just stop and go lay down and sometimes it is for the rest of the day. I feel like I am on a timer most of the day. I am so ready to be done with everything! Think I could order a new body through Amazon.com?????
