Subject: Re: help
Hi there, firstly welcome to the forum. This is the right place to come if you want to shout scream vent some anger or just a little chat. Sorry you are not having a good time at the minute. It does feel like everything is getting too much sometimes. Take a step back and try to put it all in too perspective. You are by the sounds of it getting all the right help from your Drs. When you are young you do feel a bit robbed I did myself. I have had OA since my 30's and I would like a pound for every time some one said how can you have that it's an old persons disease. Well we both know Arthritis doesn't mind who it chooses. I am 64 now so 30 odd years and I am still here enjoying my life maybe a little differently. I lock myself away when I feel at my worst just for time out I stay off the forum as well. Maybe I shouldn't but that is how I cope. Hats off to you a full time job and young children to deal with. You sound like you are managing very well. Weight is a big issue for lots of Arthritis people me included I have to be very careful and I have weight to lose again but summer is here and lots of salad and fresh veg in the shops oh and of course lovely fruit. Just kidding myself it will be hard but once I get my mind fixed I will achieve it. So will you. I have had a couple of surgeries for my Arthritis and of course it makes us feel low. Get over the surgery and you will feel the benefit and that will be another hurdle crossed. What pain meds are you on. Some are ok some are much better. You might be better to ask if you can go to a pain Clinic. Never ever give up you have no idea what a great job you are doing working bringing up a family well done you. Remember you have to take time out for you treat yourself Cinema Theatre out for a Meal a walk along the River. Get your Nails or Hair done just anything that is just for you. Some times MUMS forget just who they are. We just get caught up in the having no time for ourselves. I hope this little chat helps you realise you are not alone and this forum is here for you when ever you need to shout or say help. I guess you must be on sick leave (I hope). Put your feet up watch some old films the children will be fine and the job will be waiting. Take care and a gentle (((hug))) is winging it's way to you. xxx
