Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Hi Kathy...I'm sorry you're going through all this. My Mom feels similarly to your Mom, to the point sometimes that I worry she is too worried and sometimes won't even try a medication for herself because she is too afraid of side effects. Sometimes we can't help needing a medicine, and it can be a " double edge sword " but what else can we do? I know your rheumy appt will go well, kiddo...it is on my birthday! : ) Much love...

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 thanks paula, i also had some good news from the foot dr today. i got to see a younger dr. with newer ideas and he suggested a brace that would fit into my shoe that i could wear when i needed it. sounds better than cutting again in the same area. better yet, he said it is covered by medicare. i think it is a better way for me to go all around. kathy in il Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Kathy, So many people get better and LEAVE the group. I'm so glad you're here to tell people that there is live with RA, and that it is very possible that with the right medications, a normal life can be had. Congratulations on winning the tickets. I'm hoping your good luck continues. Be careful rushing that stage! I'm so happy for you. a On Jun 17, 2005, at 6:08 PM, kringlemom@... wrote: > i hope you have more fun on that day than i will!! ok i have been > having > streak of good luck!! i won tickets last month to see the band styx. > y'all knoi > am also entered in w how i love the band chicago. well they are > doing the > grand opening of their summer tour at a brand new venue in chicago. > it's our > old city airport meigs field, but now called northerly island. i am > a member of > the fan club and ordered my tickets thru there.
