Guest guest Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Lynn, I am sorry to hear your in so much emotional and physical pain. Your not alone, we all go through these times. You need to get control of your pain. You might try to contact the doc's office, and make an appointment. You might need to change your antidepressant, or change the dose, you think? It took me awhile to get the right med, and it has helped my emotions so much, not completely but so much better. I will keep you in my prayers, and just take one day at a time. I am one who likes to stay in pj's, makes my day. It will get better, just do the best you can.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Lynn, this is my family now. This group is what is keeping me sane till the Good Lord takes me Home. I will be very happy when that day comes. I want you to know that you, like me....we matter. We are not alone. I know it feels like no one cares. I hurt so bad and the emotional pain is worse than the physical pain. I am taking 4 800 ibuprophem and it still doesn't help. Even when I was on 80 of oxycotin it was like several times a year the meds just would not help. It's weird but true. MAybe it was a full moon. I never paid attention to that. I took myself off that drug years ago and now this plaqinel and prednisone are making me so sick. I take it anyway. I don't know if I'm coming or going anymore. I'm just existing right now. I don't feel like I'm living. SOmehow I have to get myself to court on Tuesday morning at 9:30 as my daughters internet husband is evicting me from this condo. His name is on the title so I guess I will be evicted. I don't know what will happen. I am trying so hard to have faith and just " let go and let God " and do what I can but I have not been able to leave the house for days. I have been in bad shape and worse than the same clothes for 4 days. I will not tell you how bad things are. I who always prided myself on how I looked and dressed. If you could see me now. Being a bag lady sounds good to me. I would just have to leave the east coast and go to where it is warmer. HAve my sleeping bag and so on. You take care girlfriend. Things have to get better. I want to say they can't get worse but I can't. I pray they don't get worse for you. I pray you find the help you need. Please e-mail me privatly if you want. God bless you & everyone else in this group as Lord knows we do have a heavy load. We'll count our blessings even during these hard times. I am thankful for this group and all the love and kindness and the few Christmas cards that I recieved last year that I never aknowledged. I will know and to those wh sent them....you were an Angel and they touched my heart. Thank you for that act of kindness and forgive me for not saying thank you sooner. May we all continue to pray for each other as w al need prayer. God bless you ALL!!! Sincerly & with much love, Marie Hang in there Lynn! you can do it!!!! You are very special to us and loved. Let us hear from you again real soon. We love you! -- In , lynn knurek <lynn8953@y...> wrote: > > thanks everyone thats just what i needed to hear > michelle,,,,,i will write once i come out the other > side of this...........lynn8953 > > --- mishlev05 <mishlev05@y...> wrote: > > > This family knows you exist Lynn, > > Take care > > > > > > lynn8953 <lynn8953@y...> wrote: > > HI EVERYONE I AM SITTING HERE AND I JUST CNAT STOP > > CRYING AND CRYING I DONT KNOW > > WHAT WRONG WITH ME--I TRY SO HARD TO MAKE IT SEEM OK> > > > > > STAY GOLD...LYNN8953 > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Dear Lynn, My prayers join those of everyone else. You are not alone. We all understand. Some days I feel mentally/emotionally fine and balanced with all this. But there are other days when the RA and all that goes with it just overwhelm me. So, I've been there too. Please don't ever hesitate to let everyone know when you need prayers. Very special loving, caring, understanding thoughts & prayers - Prakasha On Nov 26, 2005, at 9:10 PM, lynn8953 wrote: > HI EVERYONE I AM SITTING HERE AND I JUST CNAT STOP CRYING AND CRYING I > DONT KNOW > WHAT WRONG WITH ME--I TRY SO HARD TO MAKE IT SEEM OK BUT I AM REALLY > HURTING.I > HAVE BEEN SO ANGRY AT EVERYTHING SO FRUSTRATED SO ALONE-LIKE DOES > ANYONE EVEN > KNOW I EXISTS ANYMORE?WHAT DO I HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD TO?I FEEL LIKE > AN OLD LADY > AT 47 AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH MORE I CAN TAKE-THE PAIN IS GETTING > TO ME > NOTHING TOUCHES IT AND IT WAKES ME UP ALL NIGHT- IKEEP FALLING-I AM > SUCH A > BURDEN-I HAVENT CHANGED MY CLOTHES IN 4 DAYS NOW-WHAT FOR? > I AM SO SORRY TO LAY THIS ON YOU MAYBE IT WILL HELP IF YOU SEND ME > SOME WORDS OF > ENCOURAGEMENT-OR EVEN A KIND THOUGHT IN MY DIRECTION ITLL > HELP.LYNN8953 > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Dear Lynn, Hey--you and I are very close in age--I'm 45--and I know that there are certain things at our age that exacerbate the problem. Like me, you may be experiencing a lot of hormonal changes too, which can put you on a roller coaster from hell emotionally, and besides that we have every right to grieve for the pain we experience at any age. I've had quite a few crying jabs, and then I kick myself because my head hurts for the next two days. You also have to sort your emotions out from your medications. I think most of what we take do a number on our feelings in some way. Also I was just starting to notice signs of aging and my kids were turning 16, 18 and 20 when this hit. We're at an age where we pass into a new phase of our lives anyway and there is a lot of grief because we are losing some of what we once were. Having a disease that makes you feel like an old lady completely speeds up the whole thing. But there will be better days. I'm thinking of you. I pray, write in a journal when I can, and every now and then I'll get out a bunch of old magazines and books and use them to cut and glue collages that express my feelings. They're not masterpieces, but they are an outlet. I can also tear paper and make layered paper collages if my hands hurt. goofy, I know, but we all find ways to rechannel our brains when our emotions hijak the bus and take off. feel better, laura lynn8953 <lynn8953@...> wrote: HI EVERYONE I AM SITTING HERE AND I JUST CNAT STOP CRYING AND CRYING I DONT KNOW WHAT WRONG WITH ME--I TRY SO HARD TO MAKE IT SEEM OK BUT I AM REALLY HURTING.I HAVE BEEN SO ANGRY AT EVERYTHING SO FRUSTRATED SO ALONE-LIKE DOES ANYONE EVEN KNOW I EXISTS ANYMORE?WHAT DO I HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD TO?I FEEL LIKE AN OLD LADY AT 47 AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH MORE I CAN TAKE-THE PAIN IS GETTING TO ME NOTHING TOUCHES IT AND IT WAKES ME UP ALL NIGHT- IKEEP FALLING-I AM SUCH A BURDEN-I HAVENT CHANGED MY CLOTHES IN 4 DAYS NOW-WHAT FOR?

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Dear Lynn, Vicodin is a wonderful pain killer and sometimes I have to take it when nothing else gives me any relief, but I did notice that was more depressed after taking it a few days in a row. You certainly have a right to feel sad with what you have to deal with alone, but I'm always looking for ways to fix things. You're right. You just have to ride it out sometimes. I'm jealous of all your cats. My husband is highly allergic so I have to wait until we move to a place where I can have a separate area for me and my cats. There's a hilarious book called " Bad Cat " by Jim Edgar. Have you seen it? It has great pictures of cats up to mischief. larua lynn knurek <lynn8953@...> wrote: HI LAURA,YES WE ARE CLOSE IN AGE-AND MY SON DID JUST LEAVE ME FOR CALIFORNIA-BUT I HAD A HYSTERECTOMY AT 34 SO I DONT THINK ITS HORMONES.I JUST HAVE TO RIDE IT OUT....HAPPENES EVERYONCE IN A WHILE....I AM NOT ON ALOT OF MEDS---JUST ZOLOFT AND VICODIN--I THINK I AM BEING UNDER TREATED--CANT WAIT TO GET TO BOSTON DEC 5 TH.
