Re: Re: How About Some Positive Input?

[Guest guest]

Thank you very much OKD. Wouldn't it be great if there were only wonderful 

posts here, no pain, no suffering, no need to vent , and last but not least,

everyone's RA was under control!!! But fortunately  we have this wonderful

group of people who really care about each other, provide support, love, let us

vent, cry, etc. Always someone to answer  our many questions, and provide lots

of information about the drugs we take, or the drugs we are considering

taking.  Where else is there a wonderful researcher like , who provides us

with lots of articles on RA.

 

I know for some members who are really feeling good, it upsets them to read the

hard core truth about this ugly disease, and how depressed we can get.  Maybe

this is not the time for them to become a member here.  I for one have been

depressed with my daily struggle with RA.  I also had to redo the way I live my

life, working around RA.  But, I am happy to have my life, even though it has

changed due to RA.  I hated to finally decide that I needed to use the handicap

carts when shopping.  Now, I am thankful they have them in all the stores I go

to.  I also had to get a Handi-Cap tag for my car so I can park in a Handi-Cap

spot.  Walking with these damn feet can be very hard at times.  I also thank

God that so many members here have great suggestions to make our daily life

work.  As you all know, I had a hard time pacing myself, but I finally mastered

it and it makes my daily life easier.  I had no idea in the beginning what my

life with RA

would entail.

 

I hated being depressed, and crying my eyes out going through my painful

divorce.  I finally sought help, and it was the best thing I did for myself. 

I am also glad I can talk here freely about it.  I feel so much better knowing

you all understand.  I thank God each day for all of you, and you have made me

feel good so many times, when I was just broken in all ways 

 

Anyway I can help someone here, makes me feel good.  My wish is the same for

all of you, " May everyone have many pain free days ahead. "

 

Love and hugs,
