Guest guest Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 .......... .....BARBARA....TAWNY...Group..BETH .. .. *******Group, I am so glad they caught this infection Nae. That must of been scary being in the hosp like that. Again I welcome the new people. Those of you that have small children and those that work. I know it must be so hard. I can't even imagine how you do it. I know that I love my grown kids and I would have done it somehow. There is so much suffering with this RA and I read your posts and my heart goes out to all of you. I read that the RA hits more women than men. I guess it's true, there's more women here. OMG , I never knew that vertigo could be so bad. God bless you hon. So sorry it was so bad. Glad to hear you are in remission. I am waiting for remission. I pray for it. .. *******Beth, what is bppv?. The little ear can cause such problems. Also, what is the goggle test about?. I know how it is to wait and wait for a diagnosess. I waited 20 years for diagnose of fibromyalgia. I hurt all the time and the doctor didnt have a clue. Some doctors thoght I was faking the pain. Another one said it was all in my head. .. Kay, I get medicare with my disability social security. Debbie, so sorry for your suffering. I know exactly how you feel. I have bursitis, RA, osteo arthritis, bone spurs in my feet. Fibromyalgia, Not counting my other health problems with my heart and lungs. I cant do much of anything. Watch tv type on the pc. God bless you sweet heart. I am 56 yrs old. .. Kate, I use to have vertigo from ear aches. The meckline worked fine for me. Sorry it's not working for you. Wow cherele, that was some attack of vertigo. I had it but not that bad. Melody I am so sorry your insurance makes you pay so much. I come from a large family. We seldom saw a doctor in the 60s. My mom and dads family doctor took care of everything. He delivered 5 of my bro's and sis's at no charge. He even delivered my sister and her baby. It seems that this new era has specializing for each organ of the body. You and everyone is in my daily prayers. My older brother just found out he had RA. He is behaving just like me too. To tired to comb his hair. Don't put his socks on. He came to see me from Ohio and we was laughing at each other about our short commings with RA. LIke someone said we got to laugh or we will cry. God bless you all, God loves you and so do I. .. I take my enbrel out an half hour before I take it and I have no pain or soreness from it. One time I forgot to take it or take it out for a half hour. I got it and took it cold. OMG it burned and hurt so bad. I did it in my thigh since my husband said take it tomorrow. He usually gives me the injection. I even got sick to my stomach from the pain. I guess it really works to let it warm up some. I couldnt take that every week. ugh. ******* , Thanks for telling me what happen to you. I felt so bad about this allergy thing. I broke out so bad, I couldnt even get out of bed except to go to the bathroom. I itched on my back and neck so bad I couldnt take it. I went to the er and they said it was an allergic reaction. I should of saved my er papers to show my rhuemy. She hasn't found a cocktail to work for me yet. Was diagnosed in 2007. NO, I havent tried rituxon. Never heard of it. My rhuemy lied to me, she said the only thing left is remicade. .. .........Barbara, thanks for you soothing words. My insurance dictates that my primary doctor reccomends any specialist for me. I could ask him for someone diff if she is to difficult. I am not an outspoken person. I can't think of what to say when someone acts like that to me. My sisters come up with a good remark to people that are cocky. I was getting mad too. Usually I blow up and thats not good. I am on darvecets which helps a lot but not enough. My rheumy is againist pain pill. Wish she knew what RA felt like, she would act a little diff. .. .......Tawny, MTX broke me out like a red monster. I am on the sulfazaline right now. So far its not breaking me out. It did a few months ago. I don't understand. The pain in the groin is gone. I got bit by something and my lower right leg swelled up and turned very red and was hot to touch. I could see the bite marks on it too. The bite area was ok. Just a few tiny holes. My hubby took the desk and the bed a part and sprayed with black flag. NO one else got bit. I don't go outside except to go to the doctors. It is already getting better. My leg was slightly swollen for a few days. Almost went to the er. It's ok now. Must of been a spider or something. Thanks so much for your kind words. .. I thank all of you for your kind words. I hope I don't hit that button and delete this like I did the last one, I text all my post into one. Been texting this for a few days. My joints in my fingers hurt so much. I put a homemade splint on my worst finger so I don't keep moving it causeing it to hurt more. God loves you and I love all of you too. gentle kind hugs Clora Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
