Re: From Squarehead to all my sisters and bro's(Hi, larry, and Ray)

[Guest guest]

It seems to me that if you are needing so much pain medication, the Humira isn't

really working for you. Perhaps you should try something else. Have you tried

Enbrel? That seems to work well for a lot of us. I used to take codeine on a

regular basis, but don't need to any more. I am sure that so many pain meds

could be contributing to your tiredness.

Greetings..and help? Is it normal for a person w/RA to

always be so tired all the time? I just can't seem to

get going anymore...that's why I haven't posted

lately..it seems to take all my energy to just get

from the bedroom to the living room, and I miss

talking with you, Marina, Angelina, Pat,

Jane,Judith,a,,TawneyApril, Sue....all of

you! I take two injections of MTX (80 units) and that

darned Humira, which still burns, and I take a

depression med, but I still don't have any energy

anymore.Do you think it could be the pain meds? I take

Morphine Sulfate(60 mgs), twice a day,and

oxycodonew/325 mgs acetephetamine (probably

mis-spelled) about twice a day, two of them...if I

don't take that much I hurt like blazes,but I have to

question someone who knows...am I over medicating

myself? Shoud I just try and live with the pain and

forget about the pain meds? Maybe it's just the

" winter time blues " I just don't know anymore..The

Government. init's " wisdom " has shut down so maany

V.A.'s, that the one here in Asheville is so busy,

people even coming here from out of state, that it's

really hard to make a quick appt. ,and I am on a fixed

income, with no medicare, and uneligible for

medicaid...and exercize? Forget it! We only have one

vehicle, a truck(with a wheel chair hoist on it), and

my wife needs it to go to work, so I am stuck in our

mobile home (no, i am NOT a " redneck " ), and the cold

hurts, so I don't go outside.

I'm sorry for so much whine-ing, I didn't mean to be

so long...I miss hearing from all of you, and I miss

WRITING to you...sorry for it...I miss you. Anybody

with any sugesstions, I sure would appreciate..I am

just so weary all the time. Love, ken Oh, before I

forget...Larry, Tess, Grammi love, Tawney...your

poetry is so beautiful!)

Greetings, and thanks for your reply to me..I was on Embrel for some time, and

it wasn't doing it, so to speak, and that's when my Dr. put me on Humira...I am

a " twenty year Trucker " ..it's all I've done...my doc says I have just " worn out "

those joints.I had an operation on my shoulder, and the doc said that if I had

waited much longer for it, I would have lost the use of my right arm....from

" repetetive Motiom " , he said( 20 yrs. of shifting gears,ha ha.Can I ask you a

question> Pat, over the computer,bless her, taught me how to use the instant

messenger. (I don't know a lot about this new one..my old one was 7 yrs.old) Do

you think you would like to be on that " buddy List " , so we can sometimes talk in

" real time " ? If it's o'k'with you,will you let me know? God Bless you, and thank

you....love, ken
