Can't take Biologics? and a Vent.

[Guest guest]

,

Thank you for letting me know of your situation. I'm so sorry to hear of

you having Hep A and B also.

I was taking sulfasaline before the doc insisted on Embrel. While on the

Sulfasaline I had flare ups once in a while. And sometimes I had some

throbbers. It's when I have the throbbers is when I want something for the

pain.

I can live with that rather than this anxiety I get about these shots. I

am so worked up all of the time. My tolerence level is below 0. And my

irritability is off the charts. My daughter (last child at home) is turning

18 in a couple of months. I don't want her to move out before she is

ready just because I'm being a " You know what " ! I don't want that to be her

last memories of living at home. Also, I'm going to drive my husband away.

I'm angry all the time because I know I've got to have another shot.

I know it is childish. But this is something I'm having a hard time

dealing with. And it is worse not only the anxiety of knowing I've got another

shot coming, but not getting along with anyone. I don't enjoy doing

anything and can't put my mind to anything because I hate shots!

No one seems to be taking me seriously about the fact that shots just

aren't for me. Which is worse? The disability of RA or losing all my friends

and loved ones? Hmm.. it is a toss up.

But, I don't want to lose my friends and love ones. I'm thinking why

can't the doc just put me back on the Sulfalazine and give me something I can

take when I get the throbbers?

I'm seriously considering talking to my doc about this but then I'm afraid

he won't want to see me any more.

Sigh....... Wow! That ended up being way more than what I had intended

on saying. LOL!

Thanks for listening!
