Methotrexate injections and a plea for understanding when we complain

[Guest guest]

To all who wrote re: my question on metho INJECTIONS:

1)The question is for my elderly mother (I HAVE FIBROMYALGIA, WHICH

I'LL SAVE FOR ANOTHER DAY AND WRITE REAMS FOR YOU AND ASK FOR HELP)

2)She is almost out of the yellow liquid for injections. Tennessee

pharmacies have no supply. Our independent pharmacist, whose family

has helped mine for 3 generations has tried everything, and so have

my brother and I.

3)Mother's rheumatologist in Nashville, TN, has prescribed the metho

tablets, which don't work for her as well and which seem to cause

some upset.

4)Cindi, , Toni, and others have sent commentary. I'm wondering

about the Mayne Phamaceuticals. Are they known to be 100% reliable?

As I'll be travelling, am wanting to be extra careful.

RE: Complaining, Peggy: I'd like to have a dialogue on this. A

group like this must be the answer. I'm exhausted from a fireball

husband who can't understand why I cannot keep up on trips, and

anytime we're out -- thinks I should be able to go to a birthday

party in one part of the state, then drive 150 mi to a concert, out

until 1 AM, then up early and off again. Can't do it. Thanks for

listening.

Pat,

I am so glad I press SEND on my first initial e-mail regarding pain and

complaining. Sharing and listening to what others have said has helped

me more than anyone knows. All I can say is Amen sister, I hear you.

Hugs, Peggy

Hi Pat!

I am new to this group. My name is Corinne and I am 43 years old. I

was diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis

three years ago. I can't imagine running out of medications. Or not

being able to get them. I found the tablets didnt

work for me either and so I am on injections and also on a drug

(biologic) called enbrel. I am learning to deal with this

horrible disease. It has changed my life. My heart goes out to your

mom and you also. I am in a support group and lots

there has fibromyalgia. I have learned so much about it.

I am very fortunate to have a very understanding husband. I don't know

what I would do without him. Maybe you and your husband can come to

Canada for a visit and he can see how it works.....*S*....

Have he read any info on your disease? Maybe if he could do some

research then he would understand a little better.

I love travelling but can't do much of it anymore as I get exhausted.

Me and my husband took my parents to Nashville last summer and I swear

it took forever to catch up. I loved Nashville as it was a dream for

me to go...But it took its toll on me.

I like to email the person when I reply instead of the group, it is more

personal.....I hope you don't mind.

I figure you can become friends this way. I spend alot of time at home

so I love to have friends.

Corinne
