Hello. I just found this site. I am 30yo
and within the last 2 years have been
diagnosed with Raynaud's (my darn fingers
and toes like to change colors on me when
i get cold or under stress===white and
purple and they get super cold --
sometimes i have to laugh at how funny
they look even though it hurts so much)
and RA (not fun- especially when u are
having a dinner party trying to eat and
your right hand just gives out).
I used to work-out 6 days a week and was
training for a triathlon at one time and
even held down a full-time job, now i am
so tired and depressed and it bites!! I
worked with SPED kids for a while and love
them, but there are days i am unable to do
less than they can.
I own my own company but somedays just
want to sleep....not good for business
Taking Nifedical, Methotraxate (sp)("day
after dose" has gotten better- used to be
super sick), Humira (I totally dread shot
day - thank God only every other week- it
burns like no tomorrow), Predisone (not by
choice), Folic Acid and a Multi-Vitaman.
Is there a natural thing to do to cure all
of this?
Does anybody know what i am going thru?
Sometimes I feel like I am the only
one...and of course u have good days -
even weeks then wham bam thank you mam
it's all crappy again.
I am a woman of faith but also believe in
reality.
Is there anyone I can talk to?
At least I have a handicap tag just in
case it's a bad day - or can't find a
place to park!
jk - i hardly ever
use it....
I am in a research study and my last day
is 12.01.08, what do i do after wards?
my sister-in-law is legally blind, and
drives, and gets school benefits for
college...anybody know if we can qualify
for some of that government $?
Sorry so long...tons of thoughts and
questions
