Getting ready for Christmas

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Just wondering how you are all dealing with getting ready for

christmas? I have so much trouble wrapping

gifts. This year I sent my grown children gift cards, but still bought

presents which I wrapped for my

grandkids.

I have been in a bad flare for weeks now. There are days when trying to

walk is just torture. Also

my hands are getting really bad and to top it off because of all the

pain killers I can't sleep. I am on another

support group also where we email back and forth and this morning as I

sit and read my emails there was a note

from a lady that told me she has RA but that she has a high pain

tolerance and can tough out the pain....

Well that made me feel sorta bad because I am a tough old broad but

toughing out this pain is not something I can do.

I emailed her back to ask if she really had RA because no way can I not

take meds.....

Is it just me being silly with what but I know this disease is the most

painful thing I have ever had to deal with.

Gentle Hugs,

Corinne

Ps: Merry Christmas to all!
