Been very sick, again:(

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I had a bad reaction to my blood pressure med. I can't see the doctor until

Monday, but she took me off the med. I am suppose to monitor my blood pressure

until my appointment. If it gets too high, I go to the ER. So, it sounds like

a fun weekend, NOT!

I hope you all are having some pain free days. Its so hot here, can't do much,

were talking three digits for awhile. I would love to see Montana right now:)

Have a great day,

Tawny

Hi Tawny: I sure hope your dr. can get your blood pressure under

control with a med. that you can take. I know you are sick of being

sick, and I can't blame you. It seems you take one step forward, then

two backwards. I guess that is what happens to most of us.

How is your RA doing? Is it easing up some? I hope you have some good

strong pain meds. to help you out. It is no fun to suffer day in and

day out with pain. It certainly wears us out.

I am praying for you to feel better soon. I was so sorry to read your

letter today, and that things are not going good for you. I hope you

are trying to take things easy, and resting a lot.

Hugs,

Barbara

Aw, (((((Tawny))))). I am so sorry to hear you had a reaction to your BP med.

You were doing so well! Praying your BP stays low enough until you can get in

to see your doctor on Monday without having a trip to the ER in the interim.

Relax and don't do anything stressful nor exert yourself in any way. Take care,

be blessed.....Doreen

Thanks Barbara,

I feel much better, since stopping the blood pressure med. Oh, I was so

bad off, girl. I hope to find a good bp med, without the awful side

efects. It worked really well, my bp was really down, but you know how

it goes.

My RA is calmed down for awhile. I didn't take my humira this week, so

I've had some pain this weekend. I have a dobie, and he plays rough, he

bit me, and it got infected. It's better, so I'll take it next week.

The RA and Fibro is under control, it's just unbelieveable. I don't

like to bost, cause usually all the pain comes back.

I do take Lortab, when I need it. I'm so thankful to have a wonderful

rheumy, she really takes care of me.

How are you? Are you getting around better, without pain? I have been

praying for you, and I hope you get some relief, and able to get out,

and enjoy yourself.

Take care my friend,

Tawny

Doreen,

I am feeling so much better, since stopping the bp med. I couldn't even

stand, I was dizzy all the time. I was having fast heart rate, also

disoriented, so not good

I'm taking it easy this weekend. I hope the doctor can find a good med.

The other bp med, caused edema in my legs. I get tired of meds. But,

we need them.

How are you feeling? I hope you have a nice weekend, and your pain

eases. I know how you feel, so just know your not alone.

Hugs,

Tawny

Hi Tawny:

I am happy you are feeling so much better. It is good the Biologic is

helping you finally. It has been such a long haul for you to get some

much due relief from your pain and suffering. Thankfully, there is

always something new for us to try. The search goes on and on to find

that " perfect cocktail " of meds. to get us all pain free.

Like you, I have a wonderful Rheumy. She takes such great care of me.

Have you been able to try another BP medicine? If so, how is that

working out for you? I know there is a lot of diff. ones out there. I

hope you find the best one for you and it agrees with you.

I am doing really great. My knee is totally healed, and I am walking

without any cane or walker. My knee/leg is very strong. I now have 2

good legs under me. I do my knee exercises daily in the pool. I

sometimes do them 2x a day, whenever I hit the pool again.

I am feeling so much more peaceful since we moved into our new home. I

love living here with my son and family. We are 3 generations living

here, and enjoying life. I know without my son being with me, and being

my rock going through what I went through, I would not be alive today.

I am slowly healing, but I do have some sad days. I am sad to see my 29

year marriage go down the drain, but I tried very hard to save it. I

could not save it alone. I miss the man I married, but he is not the

same person I fell in love with. It is so sad Tawny. He has gone back

to that wh* & e, and she will take him to the cleaners, both financially

and emotionally. My mother always told me some old men get very foolish

in their old age. He can't see that he is 66, and she is early 40's.

She preys on old men. She just " loves " them. Right.......

Like I do with my RA, I just take one day at a time. Much easier on me

that way. I will be glad when I get into court. He has not given me

any $$$$ since Dec. First the support issue, then the divorce. I will

be 70 in Jan. What a time to be going through all this. I never saw

this coming!!!!

Today is hot and humid, so off to the pool for a swim, etc. I am glad

we have it. I am a true " water girl " .

Take care of yourself, and talk soon. I hope each day you feel better

and better, and that all your pain is gone for good.

Your friend,

Barbara

Tawny, I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better. I pray they can give you the

right BP meds to help you feel better. I take Dyazide for mine and have never

had any troubles with it.

As for my health, I'm in a crappy stage right now. I went for my bloodwork this

past Thursday (I was 3 months overdue) and I hope to have some answers early

this week. I didn't take my Enbrel shot on Thursday - I'm going to wait to see

what the bloodwork shows. I've been having a horrible time with severe nausea

and pain on my right side into my shoulder and across my collar bones. It will

wake me up from a dead sleep. I don't know if it has anything to do with the

ventral hernia I have or the Enbrel or if there is something else going on

altogether. I have had a lot of ringing in my ears (more than usual) and pain

that radiates down into my throat. I'm going to call the doctor tomorrow and see

if she'll see me.

I'm a mess as usual. Frustrated that I don't ever seem to feel good anymore. I

don't know if I'm expecting too much or what, but its getting old. Thanks for

asking. You are so sweet.....Doreen

Doreen,

It's time for you to catch a break. Finally, getting the Enbrel, I

thought you would feel better, sorry. I hope your blood work comes back

OK, you don't need anything else.

You might be having problems with the Enbrel, hope the doctor can give

you some answers. It seems like its always something, huh? I'm really

worried about you.

I hope the doctor can find me a med that helps. Do you take a water

pill too? The Benicar,(the one that made me ill), was bp and water pill

in one. It was very expensive, now I have a bunch of pills, and can't

use them. What a waste.

You take care, and let me know about your lab work. Are you going to

see your doctor too?

Gentle hugs,

Tawny

Barbara,

So glad to hear your walking on two legs! It's so great to hear success

stories, you will help so many other people thinking about knee surgery.

It sounds like your a water girl,lol

I'm glad your with your family, your right where you belong. God has a

reason for everything. I'm sorry you lost your marriage though, after

all those years. You just never know though.

Nothing is forever though, and it can happen to any of us. We just have

to somehow move on, and start all over again. I must say, its kind of

hard after all those long years with the same person.

I feel sorry for your ex, he will one day wake up, and be alone. He can

only blame his self. You are having fun with your family, and he will

be miserable. What comes around, goes around as they say.

Keep your head up girl, you have a new life to move on each day. It

will get a little easier, it will just take time. Just remember, you

have so many friends here to support you through anything.

I see my doctor tomorrow, and we'll see what kind of bp med she gives

me.

Take care my friend,

Tawny
