Guest guest Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 MM, My mouth was watering as I read your post. Can I come over and play???? I am doing good to get myself dressed today. These blisters on my hands are driving me batty! When one of them rubs against something I feel like my nerves are gonna jump out of my skin! Needless to say I am taking it easy today. Thankfully my husband is here to help with the girls. Right now they are building a house with Lincoln Logs. I love watching them play. They are so beautiful! Well, I gotta run. Have a great day!

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Barb, Well, I don't know what I'm doing wrong, then. Maybe it's because I have a Mac? Who knows? How are you doing tonight, honey? Love you, MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 , Louisiana, huh? I don't doubt it. LOL I remember when I was doing the same as you, going to work in spite of it all, and falling asleep at my desk because I was so exhausted all the time. I had a very demanding job at that time, and it was adding to my stress levels big time. Once I let the Rheumy talk me into retirement, I couldn't wait to get out of there. I had worked for the same agency for more than 23 years, but just couldn't go on any longer. I sincerely hope your flare goes away soon, and that you can keep on working. Loving hugs, MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
