Guest guest Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 Hello all. I am feeling so bad and depressed today, I just don't know what to do. Seems like everyday my joints hurt worse and worse. And this is a new illness for me. My feet are so swollen, I can only wear flip flops when I go out, and large house shoes when I am at home. Normally I would wear a small, but smalls don't even go on my feet. I don't see how people who have been suffering from this disease is able to tolerate it. I do take pain meds because of a chronic back problem, but the meds do nothing for the joint pain. Today I am hurting so bad that I am just sitting here crying. I am so depressed. When I think how bad I hurt now, it is so hard for me to imagine living the rest of my life like this. I go to see a rheumatologist for the first time on Sept. 20. I hope he can help me. I also see my pain doc on Tuesday and I sure hope he knows of something to give me that will help this kind of pain. Thanks everyone for letting me cry on your shoulders. Sometimes your the only shoulders I have to cry on. Hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
