Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 To all who offered prayers, thank you so much! The little ones are much better today. TJ and the 2 little boys went back to school/daycare. Bekah, who was the sickest, is still home but starting to keep solid food down now. Their parents are exhausted-- Tom works 7 days a week from 5-12 PM, and works full time as our church secretary besides taking online college classes. Anyway, I wanted to express my appreciation for this big wonderful family who is so supportive. Welcome to all the new people here--you are entering a very supportive and caring group! I wish I could offer information that would help you in your struggles with RA, but I don't have RA so I can't talk about the medications most of you take. I do have Dercum's Disease, which is like fibro with the addition of hundreds of painful lipomas (fatty tumors). I live with pain 24/7, and with the knowledge that there is very little that can be done for this disease, as it is so rare there is no research being done. But I also live with the knowledge that I have met a lot of wonderful people I wouldn't have known otherwise, and my mind and heart have been opened to new levels, so there is a silver lining to this cloud! Never give up hope, and don't let your disease define who you are. Blessings to all, Judi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Well, praise God, baby! Yall were due a break from the sickness. My edlest has two kids and a husband sick, her mother in law the hospital, and the m-i-l's boyfriend really sick, on top of her working full time. Chas and I have been so sick that we weren't much good for anything. If i remember correctly my oldest 3 had chicken pox just right on top of each other. And you know after four kids, I have never had them. (knock on wood!) Glad that you are having better days. God bless Jane > > To all who offered prayers, thank you so much!
