Oh Cats I am with you!!! That is the most of it, suffer. :/ and its sad, its depressing, and lonely. I do have my husband, but I do not have any friends or anyone to talk to that understands this disease and wants to get together and do things and I am hoping to find that with this group for my area around Sacramento.
But cats, it doesnot matter where we live, lets be friends!! Its so discouraging when each medication makes us too sick to take it, or we get infections and cant take it, or something else. Its like I just need one medicine that will work please!!! Bless you Cats, and lord do I understand.

Good luck with finding a group to do things with. It does get terribly lonely. I have days that go by without talking to anyone other than my husband!

Cats, try this drink every night and other times if you want: http://dailyhealthpost.com/turmeric-ginger-gold... Also, eliminate nightshade foods, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant. They are very inflammatory. So are wheat and sugar and all processed foods.

I was already crying when i sat down here to read emails and then came to this thread of yours Cats. I am just bawling from the pain and just feel like I cant take it anymore and I just took a morphone pill too. Hoping it relieves it dear God.
I need a shower so bad but I dont bother to take one cause it takes so much time and I used to be an in and out person, 5 minutes. Now its 45 min for the shower and another hour to get hair brushed out if I can do it, or Husband does it after he works all day.
I have tried probablly 10 medications now and Humera was one. It seems like I do ok with them, but then I have to get off of them cause I get a cold, pneumonia, infection of some sort. Then I am off of that medicine for a few months to get nice and well, and restart it.
When I restart it does not work even a little bit again. That is where I am at with Xeljanx now. Back up to the 2 pills a day and its not working. Have had to be on higher doses of steroids the past week :/ and I am still in horrible pain.
I am so with you ladies and we all feel the same way inside and out, in our hearts and our minds and its so very sad to have to live like this.

Pugs and hugs to you too. Try using ice for feet and ankles, try hot packs. For your hands. I also get 50 lidocaine pain patches per month from my doctor. I use them on my ankles. Low back and shoulders.
