TIME FOR A VENT
| Wed, 04-05-2006 - 8:35pm |
This is how I feel about this darn disease and life right now!!! I have not felt decent since the beginning of January. Bronchitis, sinus, strep throat, no meds, ra flare, fibro flare, exhaustion, rain, rain, and more rain!! I am so sick of all of this that I could just scream. ACK!!!!!!!!!!!!! Another raspberry here, sorry if I get spit on you!! ;o)
Anyone else feel like this?
Down in the dumps here,
Vicki

I'm sorry, Vicki and I can empathize. SInus infection that lasted almost a month, then another one right before I left for Florida and then pink eye and now my allergies have gone nuts. I was up last night coughing at 3 a.m. FUN! ANd my shoulders hurt, but we are hoping the inj. mtx helps that.
Hugs to you!

((((((Molly))))))) right back at you with those hugs. I am up to 9 rxs a day, plus 2 that I take during the week. Ugh!!!! My brain is so clouded, I feel like I have dementia!!
Hang in there Molly, the new med will work!
Hey people, who would be willing to step up as a co-CL. Molly wants some help here. Please, someone, volunteer.
Hugs, Vicki

MIA for your vent, Vicki, but I'll join you anyway. I also have been sick as a dog and I know it's due to the darn RA meds and my crappy immune system. I caugh a cold...a SIMPLE cold, like everyone else around here EXCEPT I end up with a severe asthma attack, chest pains and bronchitis so bad I couldn't breathe and ended up in the ER about 3 weeks ago. Had 4 inhalation treatments in the ER with poor results; sent home with MEGA doses of prednisone, antibiotics, inhalers. Took 2 weeks before I could actually draw a full breath and even longer for the chest pain to stop. I've only felt human this last week.
it wasn't my RA that bothered me...OH NO, it was just fine with taking the 60mg of prednisone for 5 days! But doggone it, the RA meds make us so susceptible to just about anything that flits around in the air. I have never been so sick in my life to the point where I was actually scared I wouldn't make it. I SO HATE THIS ROTTEN DISEASE!!! Even though the Enbrel has made an incredible difference in the severity of the RA, it just messes up my body so much. I need some warm weather and less rain and wind.
Hope you're doing better Vicki and everyone else. This has been a lousy winter! Diane
