Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Hang in there, buddy!! , write me when you can, I sent you something. Had a bad weekend, my Grandmother died. She was the last grandparent I had. Kind of down right now, but she is in a better place and did live to be 93. But, she was a real nice woman and so loving to everyone. ~a <pdelarosa@...> wrote: Hi .....I am so sorry that you're dealing with a lot of pain right now. I hope that you can get some meds that will help with that pain. As far as the depresion...I would look into something for that also. I am getting to the point where I may be asking for some myself. I've been on medicaid disability (Ohio) since 1999. I ws dx with r/a in 1983 and am now having really the worst year I can remember dealing with it. Just can't do a thing. I get one problem under control and anither pops up. If it isn't painful feet (deformity also), it is the hands (deformed)fingers and if that isn't the biggest problem that day, then it can be mouth sores, Sjogrens, the Humira allergic reaction, etc. We're are all in this same boat. It's horrible but we have each other. I try to think back to the time when the internet wasn't available and my grandmother or great grandmom had no one to talk to about any ache or pain..just the family. If your family wasn't supportive or understanding....what could you do? I'm glad we are all here for each other.So if you're depressed, we can have a pity party all together. I have had quite a few myself. Hang in there....Hugs..a Ohio "I am too blessed to be stressed and too anointed to be disappointed!"

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 a, thank you for reminding me how lucky I am, and everyone. Without the internet I can't imagine having made it through the time when I was so crippled up.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Hi a, Thanks for sending this in regards to . How true what you've said. Thank goodness for this group. I don't post often, but it sure is an informative, caring bunch of people. It's nice to know that this group is here for us all. I was diagnosed with RA last Nov. even have a negative reading from the blood test. And I know this has been coming on for years, but was always given some excuse of something else. Mainly being my age and a diabetic. The prescriptions scare me to death and I'm " trying " to deal without them, and it's not easy. I keep bouncing back to them. And yes, depression....one of the bad things with this disease. , I hope you can find something to ease your pain. But just know we are all on this group to be there for each other.

And I know this has been coming on for years, but was always given some excuse of something else. Mainly being my age and a diabetic. They always blamed mine on my Sjogren's Syndrome or PBC. My RA numbers are not that high and the rheumy was shocked to my hand so swollen and crippled when I just happened to have an appt. on the day of a major flare.
