Guest guest Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Hey there!!! I'm sorry that this is stressing you out and that you are not feeling well. I hope that the med will help and not put you down like you suspect. A nice hotel rest might be just the ticket, who knows? I understand about not wanting that however! I think that stopping often does sound easier than actually doing it. Been there, tried it - my recently ex is an OTR truck driver and sometimes we would stop and other times we simply couldn't. Getting out and about does have its ups and downs and is only specific to each of us according to our limitations and/or our abilities. Kinda a catch 22. I sure wish that the stress of it all could go away as that doesn't help! Anyhow, I hope that you can feel better really soon and if you do go it turns out to be the best trip you ever had!!!!!!!!!!! Wishing you the best! XXX's Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 thanks for the response. i really don't think i am going to go. i think i am going into a flare. i just can't imagine feeling 100% in the next 3 days. i still don't feel well. yesterday i got a good look in the mirror of what as will do to me. i really had to force myself to get my back straight. i went to my company picnic. huge crowd!!! 5 employees a wife and 2 sons!! i only stayed a few hours as my son had to leave. i rode with him since i was taking pain meds.i've had to force myself to change the cat box, do the dishes and take out the garbage. too bad there is still so much more to do. i just don't want to. i hate this feeling kathy in il Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 So sorry you have to miss the trip and I know you must be feeling very bad since you don't feel up to going. Sounds like you need to rest more than anything. I am praying you don't go into a huge flare. Keep us up to date on what happens.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Hello Kathy, I haven't worked in 2 years due to failed back surgery and nerve damage from it. Then they said it was fibromyalgia. Now it is RA. I can underdstand your pain and hard time trying to work. Did you get my name from the RA support? It is so depressing staying at home also. I lost my sense of worth. I will pray for your day right now, kringlemom@... wrote: my neck, upper back and chest are really stiff and sore. i took 12 mgs of prednisone yesterday. but it really didn't help much. if i wasn't having such financial problems i would stay home today. but next week i know my check will be short as i will be missing pay for monday. kathy in il Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
