Ha ha ha ha ha I used to love doing that as a kid. However now i would have to

go buy some. but that sounds like fun. My daughter loves doing it now. Anytime

we get something with that she takes it over.

I get so sleepy and very I mean extreamly tired. That happens if I only missed

one and that sure surprised me.

The stress is so much here that I know it's not only going to be very hard, as

after my son's nurse called me from the hospital today I had to have one, and

after my ex came by and left I had to have another one. I really must face this

stuff head on and maybe just let it go.

Thank you. I know today was not a good day to quit even just a little.But I

have got to!!!!

I don't recall being tired.Just cranky a bit for the first 2 weeks,after that

it was a breeze until the stress of all stress hit.A chronicly ill child.

Good luck

Thank you Donna but today with the ex dropping by and then the nurse calling

from my son's hospital I didn't do such a good job of even cutting down.

This is sure frustrating.

ette just start over with your plan today...Don't make any

excuses, don't let circumstance dictate your goals. You can do

this. Enlist the ideas given. If you need to make the goal today

to contact your doc to see about a script that will help you with

the withdrawls then just make that call your goal for today.

I know you can do this...Don't give up!

Hi ,

Well I did start cutting down today. I passed up two cigerettes so far. I am

keeping my eyes on the goal! Plus it will save me alot of money.

I was thinking of calling my doctor about the wellbetrin I think that is what

it was called, and see if he can give me a pill to help with the withdrawels. I

will stop cold turkey if he can give me something.

I don't know if he would like a phone call. My lung doctor or heart doctor may

help here I don't know but thought I would try both and see which one will give

the proscription for the pills. Besides, I do get depressed alot as I have so

much to deal with and all alone too. So maybe the pills will help in both

aspects.

Hugs and thank you so much for chearing me on! paulette

I can only imagine that both of your doctors are going to be

thrilled with your decision and will no doubt be willing to give you

the script for Wellbutrin...Heck, you can't beat it...curbs your

appetite, helps with withdrawls and improves your mood! :-)

Keep up the good fight today! Write on the calendar how many cigs

you had today and then try to lower that number tomorrow.

I have never smoked before, but personally I think cutting back

sounds harder that the cold turkey method...But, what do I no! lol

We will encourage you with whatever method you try.

ette,

It is worth a shot. When I had my brother in last week, his ortho mentioned

that Wellbutrin can help too. We're all pulling for you.

Oh LIsa I wish nothing but true love for you both and may you both always be

together.

Maybe one day I will meet someone but since I don't go to bars or nightclubs

or anything other then markets and book stores and clothing stores I doubt I

will meet anyone but I guess you never know.

There are people out there who will love you despite the fact that you have a

chronic disease. Honestly that really shocked me! I didn't even want to be

around me most of the time, I'm pretty boring when I'm sick, yet somehow at 18

(which i considered pretty young to fall in love) I met a guy who despite

everything still loved me and wanted to hang out with me. We've been together

for two and half years. He use to hang out with me on methotrexate nights (not

to mention he never drank alcohol during the time I was on mtx because I wasn't

allowed to and he never wanted me to feel different when we were at parties)

even though I felt like crap and most of the time fell asleep during whatever

movie we were watching, despite his fear of needles he learned how to give me my

enbrel shots, he has always been there to offer a massage when I was in pain,

and in the two and half years that i have been sick he has stayed by my side

through hospitilizations, one surgery, and a lot of

uncertainty,

I feel very lucky and I know now that I have this because I deserve this as does

every person. Maybe me and my boyfriend wont be together forever or maybe we

will, but I realize now how lucky I am to have such a caring and understanding

boyfriend. I can't believe your mom would say that to you, or that either of

your boyfriends would ever say such hurtful things, I know being 21 my life

experience doesn't rank up there that much especially in the love department but

I do know that we all deserve people who love and understand us, and it breaks

my heart that anyone would ever act that way towards you. We are so much better

then that! Donna I am so glad that you found the amazing husband that you have,

and ette I'm glad you dumped that ass (pardon my language I'm not much for

swearing but it definitely was the only word that fit)!

JRA's around here but me! ha ha ha ha

Thank you, I will keep this all in mind when he keeps coming by while working

with his truck.

Re: OT: Impact Of Smoking And Genes On Rheumatoid

ette, wow, you do have a lot to contend with but I must chime in on

one thing you mentioned, " He has always told me I was lucky to have him

as no one else would ever want me because of my JRA. I need crutches and

do have the deformities from this thng. " Well hun if that what he thinks

you are much to good for man like that anyway. Let him have his new

girlfriend there are better things around the corner! I relate because

many years ago I was in a similar situation and ironically was told the

very same thing. My ex would hold my

(deformed) hands in front of my face and say things like, " Look & *^%$

who else will have you look at you, your a monster, you should feel

lucky to have me. " Well his loss, I left him and have moved on and given

myself and my kids a much better home. I dated several times and even

got married in 2004. We are so much better than that! Never again will

another person have the chance to even think about talking to me like

that. If this disease does nothing else it makes you strong,

compassionate, courageous, brave, tolerant and patient and oh

yeah..vocal. Hang tight and hang tough my friend! Also I quit smoking in

a day! I through my cigarettes out in the road, seen the pack get run

over and have never smoked again!

Smiles!

Well I know I really need it now. I am so depressed when my ex came by today he

wants me to sell his engagement ring and wedding ring for him, how dare him and

he even made it clear to me why he is doing what he is doing for his new girl as

I was not worth it. I had three cigerettes in an hour. I am just to depressed to

go into detail but man do I really deserve this? I feel so ugly and no good and

usless. Haven't gotten into the how do I do away with myself mood yet. Thank God

for that!

paulette,

I know you are really hurting and I feel so bad for all that your

going thru...I hope that you will give some consideration to seeking

out a a cousnelor...You are just under so much stress and perhaps

finding someone that you could sort your feelings out with and renew

your self esteem would be a good thing. A counselor could help you

deal with the issues with the ex, chronic pain, loss of your

parents, your health issues and your desire to kick the cig habit.

I hope that you will consider this option. At this point an

antidepressant would be a bandaid...Don't get me wrong, I think it

could help but I belive if you couple it with couseling then this

creepy ex would loose his hold on you. His behavior may continue to

be the same but he will have no power over you!

Hang in there girl... Things will get better!

Hugs & blessings,

ette, I have learned bars and clubs are the worst place to meet men

anyway. I have only met one ex boyfriend there and it was the worst relationship

ever. I met my husband at an amusement park while there with my kids! Of

course this was our second meeting when you consider we were childhood

sweethearts

but we went 25 + years without seeing each other. The time will come when

you least expect it!

Yipppe, and congrats ette! See you can do it! If you can say NO

once, trust me, the second time is easier and sometimes more fun. LOL. I can

work!

Oh how wonderful for you. I guess my time will come when ever.

I don't know if I would trust anyone else. But I do know I grab at any love

since I haven't had any kind of kindness througout my life. It's a wonder I can

give my kids love. But I vowed to myself I would never treat anyone the way I

was treated. And even though my two children living with me are mentally

challenged I still tell them I bet you can become anything you put your mind to

and give them the bennifit of the doubt. My son who is Bipolor and in and out of

Mental Hospital I even tell him that he is so good and how much I love him and

how I know one day he is going have himself a good job and this year will be the

best of his whole life. I like to encourage them as I never was.

Thank you Donna I will try and be patient. My ex called me while we were out

and he wanted me to go see if I can find any calenders for him as he needs one,

and I said NO sorry. Not today. Too busy.

Hugs and thank you all so much for the help. I feel some better today as

compaired to last night.

Yeah I'd say bar and club men are pretty scumy! My sister is really into clubs

and I have met some of the guys she hangs out with.. and uh no.. I wouldn't go

for those type. I met my boyfriend through friends actually and it just so

happened we had a lot in common.. There is someone out there for you and when

the time is right you will find each other. The first step though is learning to

be ok with yourself and knowing that you are amazing and beautiful no matter

what your ex-jerk has to say.. he is a nobody and you are so much better.. I

mean you must be.. you have all us rooting for you..none of us will ever be

disapointed in you..just proud of your accomplishments.. you joined a support

group but you gained a family..Just remember that all of us are here to support

you.. you can quit smoking... feel better about yourself.. ignore that dumb

guy.. and find the guy of dreams..because we all believe in you

Thank you Donna, as he came by again today and told me now he is moving into a

trailer park as that is what I was trying to do. I still may if I can find

someone who will help.

I gave him half of my left over lunch as I knew I couldn't finnish it all.

But other wise I really don't want to see him. He wanted me to sell the rings he

bought for the other girl friend and will give this new girl friend brand new

ones even though these haven't been used. So I said what do I get I want some of

the money. ha ha ha ha He looked at me so funny. But i don't care. I do hope he

moves maybe I wont see him anymore. ha ha ha Only difference is I want to move

out of this city all together.

I still feel depressed as I no longer have my Mom or dad to talk to and feel

so alone. But I am trying very hard when not in pain to keep busy.

Hugs; paulette

Hi ,

No as most of the day all of what happend yesterday still came to haunt me and

then the guy came to fix the garage door. So by the time I was out of a slump it

was too late. I can call and make an appoitment with her. I know it would be

better to see her as I can explain how my knees are hurting and I am so

depressed on and off that I don't want to start thinking those thoughts again I

had before, and how bad I want to quit smoking and need help. Maybe all those

things she would be more likely to give me the pills. I'll let you all know. I

do know I can't wait till I can take something so when my ex comes by I can just

let it all slip by me and not bother me like another fight today. He got mad

because I told him I would not sell rings he bought for his girlfriend and he

made the mistake in the first palce and why do I need to take all the phone

calls and stuff and when will he pay me back. So he yelled and shouted and

stormed out and said forget it your stupid.

Well I will keep you all informed on what the doctor says.

hugs; paulette

two children living with me are mentally challenged I still tell

them I bet you can become anything you put your mind to and give

them the bennifit of the doubt. My son who is Bipolor and in and out

of Mental Hospital I even tell him that he is so good and how much I

love him and how I know one day he is going have himself a good job

and this year will be the best of his whole life. I like to

encourage them as I never was.
