Joyce, yes thats it its been so long since we all got the whole sit down and go through the old time boxs !!!! ( of pics & things with there stories ) miss those days and soon they will be gone for ever for me. I spent very much time with my grandprants growing up and was much closer to them seemed than my parents so as my ageing and theirs has kinda seperated us abit it sadens me to have been pulled away from them even more as with this crappy R/A and the pain it brings as i would take care of most all there needs of work they could no longer do and the last year or more i have the toughest time just getting mine by ,but im still there when they need me no matter what .

Joyce, maybe I'm not much older than you are; I'm 77. I don't often run into people who remember the great depression and the lessons of thrift we had to learn while growing up. God bless.

,

Things wern't like this when you was growing up I don't imagine.

I know it wasn't when I was growing up and I have a feeling I

am much older than you. I grew up during the great depression

and WW2. I never sassed my parents, not ever.

I'd better get off this computer. It's thundering..........Joyce M

, I know what you are going through is hard. I went through the same

thing with my two youngest kids. I have read that what your daughter is

going through is called "breaking away." It's can be hard to raise teenagers.

I know this from experience. It does sound like you are under a lot of stress.

Last April when I was in such stress my oldest son died. I had no idea

stress would cause you to have so much pain.

My youngest son is 44 yrs old with three teen age boys of his own and is

going through now what he put me through when he was a teenager.

I agree...stress is a big factor for me and RA. In fact my symptoms started after my mom passed away. What I eat doesn't seem to make a difference....good thing cuz I'm the worse eater around!
