Re: updated on fatigued and venting

A least you got a diagnosis and can treat it. I hope that the problem

will soon be better. I can see why you are anxious and worried. Surely

they won't fire you from your job just because you're sick. I will

keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

the meds will get the inflamation cleared up for you. that can be a

serious thing. my prayers are with you, hon.

you're right about things happening..... you never know from one day

to the next what will pop up, to make you wonder,.... oh, what the

heck now.....lol....

i think everyone with RA needs something for anxiety and depression.

who could not be depressed with this awful disease. you know when you

get up in the morning, it's another day of pain....

take care, and get well...

Dear, dear . I certainly hope the doctors are able to get to the bottom of

what all is going on with you and I pray its nothing too serious. I take

Klonopin and Celexa and it helps with my anxiety and believe it or not, my pain

level, too. I feel the pain increase when my anxiety is high.

Please talk with your husband. He may be able to alleviate some of your concerns

regarding him. You married " in sickness and in health, til death do you part " . I

pray he is upholding is end of the deal. Don't fret. If he loves you, he'll

stand by you.

Vent away whenever you feel the need. That's what we're here for.

My Xray shows pericarditis, or inflammation of the heart sack. More meds. I

also get to wear a monitor on Monday to measure how often and how much my heart

rate changes. So I guess it wasn't in my head after all. I never know these

days. I wouldn't be surprised if I do have panic attacks on top of everything

else. I think I'm about to be let go from my job. I am losing hair from the RA

treatments so I totally avoid mirrors in my house. I'm terrified of losing my

husband and his support. I may ask for some anxiety meds just because.

Thanks, all, for hearing me vent. I don't know what I would do without this

wonderful support group!
