Guest guest Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Hi Natasha- I am so sorry to hear about your best friend. I hope you can talk her into joining this group. If you can talk her into buying a computer try and get her to get a Lap Top, I got on and I can lay in bed and still be apart of this support group. We are all here for each other and this is the best support group. Anything she needs we are here for her. Advise, Opinions, Experiences, Stories, if she just wants to vent, etc... She won't feel alone. We have all been there and know what she is going through, in some way. I hope that now that she has been diagnosed that she will get the proper medical care and medication that she needs. I too had a very young baby when I was diagnosed. My son was just 6 months old. I know how it feels to not be able to take care of your child. It hurts not to be able to roll around on the ground with them. But you know what.. she'll get through the hard part. If they can find the right meds for her, she'll be able to play with her kids again. Tell her to fight and don't let the Dragon take over. (we call Stills, the Dragon) Let her know that we are waiting for her and can't wait for her to feel better so we can get to know her. You are a good friend and I am glad that she has a good support system at home. (if you can print out the feed back that you get from us and take them to her, maybe it will raise her spirites) Love and Support, Keri in CA hello hi i would just like to introduce myself my name is natasha and i live in north east england and it is my best friend who was diagnosed with stills in jan 05. im not quite sure what meds she is currently taking, however i know she has been on many different types including methetrexate which didnt really help her. all i do know is that she has to inject herself, i will ask her tommorrow when i vist her in hosp. she has been in hospital for most of the past two years as her flares seem constant. she maybe goes for a few weeks at a time without one at the most. she is 27 years old and has 3 young children aged 5, 3 and 2 and has been really ill ever since she was diagnosed. she hasnt got a computer and to be honest i dont know if she would be well enough to use one as she spends alot of her time in bed but im going to try and persuade her to buy one and join this group as i believe that she would enjoy being able to swap experiences and gain comfort from such a warm and supportful group. natasha ____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _ ____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _ Be the first to hear what's new at MSN - sign up to our free newsletters! http://www.msn. co.uk/newsletter s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
