Guest guest Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 , I guess I was lucky. My family was always a close knit family. And as you said, this RA is crappy. I and probably everyone in this group are in pain day after day. I get up hurting and go to bed hurting. The only relief I get is when I sit in my recliner with a heating pad to my lower back...........Joyce M ----- Original Message ----- From: john no_way Rheumatoid Arthritis Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2005 4:34 AM Subject: re: joyce off topic Joyce, yes thats it its been so long since we all got the whole sit down and go through the old time boxs !!!!

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 , I am sorry about your sister's father in law. How well I know how it is to have your loved ones snached away from you. I lost my husband and three children. I have one left. I went to the Dr this afternoon and he gave me a prednisone injection in my back. It kinda smarted but I can already tell the difference, He wants to give me a shot in my left knee in about a week. The serum is called Hyalgan. I guess it must be new because my Dr said was expensive and he had to order it.
