So rheumatologist office just called my crp blood work from yesterday has improved so less inflammation to what degree I don’t know , so maybe don’t need Enbrel which is good but ... that means no help for the pain maybe ? I dunno gotta wait 3 long weeks to hear what the plan is or lack of a plan I’m so sick of hurting so much every freaking day I need to just accept that it’s never going to go away. I will never have a good day.

It's just plain demoralizing sometimes, isn't it? Damn!!!
I feel overwhelmed a lot by the pain. Pain has become my "abuser."
I am sorry you deal with this, too.
I hope you find relief sooner rather than later.

((((( Christina and WC ))))) I'm so sorry you are both in so much pain. I hope your Drs can help you. Christina,
can you call your Dr and ask for a move up in your appointment?

Gus, I love those pictures! They are so awesome!!!!!

I am still down and out trying to get used to the new anti-depressant. I stay exhausted and sleep so much that I don't get anything done.

Kiya, I think we are all like ducks: calm on the top of the water, but swimming like crazy underneath.

One thing that I did do was give Belle a bath today. She's so good when I bathe her.

Reduce Stress and Increase Resiliency By Reaching Out:

I had posted this TEDTalk video elsewhere on PC and wanted to make it available to my friends here.

Making Stress Your Friend

"Stress. It makes your heart pound, your breathing quicken and your forehead sweat. But while stress has been made into a public health enemy, new research suggests that stress may only be bad for you if you believe that to be the case. Psychologist Kelly McGonigal urges us to see stress as a positive, and introduces us to an unsung mechanism for stress reduction: reaching out to others."

This is a 14 minute TEDTalk video.

Hi Jan!

Thanks for the hugs!

I hope you get used to your med soon. It's such a downer when a med makes us more tired.

(((((( January and Belle ))))))

Love to All!

i want every bunny to feel better~!! (even me~)
been a little down lately, stayed in bed almost all day yesterday (blood oxy levels plummeting.) O

[~Christina]

I’m so down, destroyed and of course my pain is insane.

Between the Rheumatologist deal. Yesterday.

I saw my old Pdoc which was nice to see a familiar face he covers the old place and the new place I go to now. he mentioned my old T of 6 years and said he’s down to just 2 days a week. .... I felt the world caving in .. the woman that did my intake appt at this new place flat out told me he retired ! Flat out effing lie !!!! Why why lie about it , I couldn’t go back to him as the center had met there Medicare limit , I get it I really do.... but why lie ????

I just want to sleep just sleep instead of having so much screaming in my brain.

Why do people lie ? Why the hell lie????

I just can’t understand it.

[Gus1234U]

some people aren't lying, they are just wrong.

winter break is over, they're Baaaach~~!
and i suspect those round bellies aren't left overs.... O.O

[childofchaos831]

So I had to miss my rheum appt on Thursday because I was in the psych hospital, but I got it rescheduled for the 13th. At least I don't have to wait another 3 months...

I had the week from Hades at work last week. I work with troubled teens. It says a lot when the so called professional adults are more trouble to deal with than the kids. Stress and weather change lead to fibro flare. Already stressed, then add the emotional stuff that can come with a flare. I came close to a melt down Wednesday.

I had things I wanted to get done this weekend. Instead I'm too tired and sore to do anything. Am going to have a quiet, hopefully restful, day today, but am annoyed about having to backburner things.

Somebody get some cheese to go with this whine.....

Thanks for working with troubled teens.
Sorry you are in pain and are feeling depleted.
