Guest guest Posted April 17, 2001 Report Share Posted April 17, 2001 Don't let it get you down too much, try to be strong, push yourself to get out if you can at all and do what I told you girl. I am arthritic, I have pain almost all the time, and I am on the verge of a lupus diagnosis and sometimes I get into the major blues, but I find if I give my self a little push to do more and think more positive I feel better than if I sit at home and let the illness suck me in. THere are days Like today I am tired and who feels like going to work ??? But I get up, and I am achy as hell and everything hurts, even my fingers and toes, but I get up and I go on and push to lead a normal life and it helps. I know you are sick girl, and you know I think you can get better and at least you don't have this crazy ANA like me so that is good, try to get out a little if you can, and prayer is good, maybe yoga would help you, whatever. try to be more positive, god still wants you here not dead so you have apurpose in this life, hang in there and remember I am always here for you anytime you need to talk day or night you call me ok!
