RHEUMATOID, AND FIBROMYALGIA

[Guest guest]

IHAVE BOTH OF THESE DISEASES, I was diagnosed with RHA 2 years ago,

and fribromyalia 6 months ago. I started off coping with this pretty

good. In October of 2004 I was told by two of my Doc. to stop working

and go on disability, which I have done because I was out of work more

than I was there. I really tried hard. I am a mechanic by trade,

welding, repairing or building anything that you can think of.Since I

ahve been at home I am getting worse, the weather is cold one day and

hot he next.When does the pain stop. I have tried over and over to

tell my Rheumatoligist that I am having a lot of problems with my

legs, when I can get sleep I will wake up with terrible pain because

my legs will go to sleep or the muscle just feel numb. I am on a lot

of medication and it just seems to slow it a bit, I really don,t know

how much more I can take before I loose it. I am only 39 and I have

worked all my life, growing up on a farm, work is all I have ever

done. I was taught that you work until you die. What do I do now.
