From: Kate on 7 Aug 2008 13:04 Saw my ortho and rheumy today. 6-8 more weeks of this blasted wheelchair. Some beginning healing of leg and can now toe touch but not weight bear. Argghh patience is not one of my virtues. Can restart mtx and humira though so at least some relief from my raging RA which has not been happy lately. Kate I keep telling myself I know there are people worse off but I'm still sad.
From: DeeTee on 7 Aug 2008 14:46 Just because there are people worse off does not negate your pain and discomfort. Each of us is of great worth. Our pain is just that...our pain and no one being in worse pain lightens our pain. Don't ever feel your pain or discomfort is of lesser importance just because it's yours.

From: ANN M on 7 Aug 2008 15:43 There is always somebody worse off if we look hard enough, that doesn't mean that you are not hurting, depressed, and feeling alone. A little bit of that is normal, don't you think? I don't know how to take your pain away or cheer you up (wish I did) but I do want you to know I care. Ann

that's got to be so frustrating, kate. i know it wasn't the news you were hoping for. i'm glad you can get back on the dmards, tho--that's one teeny ray of sunshine. please feel free to vent here ten times a day if need be. hugs, diane |
