First Sharon And Then Rita Posted: 09-04-03 20:45pm
Sharon,
after years of working with and without
this pain I do declare you deserve your ss
and if needed you should use your doctors
diagnosis for what ever ails you as they
declare to get your ss. My hat is off
to you because I get really urked at (and
I don't use this term loosely) loosers who
suck the system for all the milk they can
get for nothing and leave us the servants
of society (people who work for a living)
to pay our taxes so the loosers in life
get a free ride and our health takes the
toll of our freedom to enjoy life after
our work years are done because we are in
to much pain to enjoy it but we have to
work our butts off for that almighty
dollar they take from our taxes to give to
them.
sorry I had to vent. You go girl.
Try to rest before you get the g-children
so you can enjoy their visit. I do find
that taking a very hot bath with 1 cup
epsom salt and 1/2 cup sea salt help to
ease some muscle soreness. But your
bath has to be hot enough so that your
skin shows the blood at the surface (red
skin) to get the best results. Remember
what works for one person doesn't always
work for another though. Have a nice
weekend.
Rita,
your right when you speak about using mind
over matter to ease the pain, I do that
not only for the muscle pain but for my
awful migraines as well. But some days
as you said the body gets to a point that
it just can't fight any more and that is
when we have really bad days. On these
such days I am bed ridden to restore my
strength to start fighting all over again
the next day or the day after that.
Depends on how exhausted my body is from
the previous mind over matter fight.
But no matter how much pain I am in I have
in the past couple of months been slowly
strength training my body to make my
muscle stronger in hopes that it helps to
lower the pain level and so far I have
been accomplishing that. Lowering my
muscle pain is working thus far. I see
you have 5 good reasons for a good fight,
but if you take it a step further and you
have five reasons not to be in pain.
I tell myself every day that one day soon
I will have the fittest body I ever had
and there is no reason it should be in
pain and that is how I intend to rid my
body of pain. Mind over matter.
I can't take pain killers and also the
pain killers will suck your life right out
from under you and I sort of think this is
how I got into this painfull mess to begin
with. I had taken some painkillers for
a back injury and since then I have had
nothing but problem with pain and yet my
back is fine.
Any thoughts.
Have a great weekend ladies.
Georgie

Hi georgie and sharon, I know how you are
feeling sharon. No matter what day it is
I am in some kind of pain. I am on the
strongest dose of muscle relaxers that you
can be on and it does not help like it
used to. And fighting for ss is a long
hard fight. It was hard for me because I
was only in my 20's when I went on ss and
ssi. I had to go see a physcologist to
prove that it was not all in my head and I
fought for over 2 yrs. It is rough
raising 1 child on ssi and ss but I have
my boyfriend that helps with my daughter
and then we have custody of 2 of his 3
children. But I am lucky now because
sarah, my daughter is 9, and his two
amanda is 12 and rebecca is 14, so all of
my kids are teenagers. The boy don't live
with us and he is 16. So they help me out
alot. I am lucky because I don't have
lupus and I don't know if I will ever get
it but my fibromyalgia is just as bad. On
top of fibro. I have degenerated disc
desease inmy neck and back with bursitis
in my shoulders, knees, hips and wrist.
So at the age of 36 sometimes I feel like
giving up but then I look at my family and
I can not do that because they mean the
world to me.
Thank you georgie for the information
on lupus because I was not to sure what
exactly lupus affected and now I know.
Sharon you take it as slow as possible
this weekend with your g-babies and try
not
to over do it. I know that is going to be
hard. I am going to my boyfriends sisters
house this weekend so I have to clean
before we leave tonight and get ready for
that long three hour drive and then the
weekend of fairs. So I will be back on on
monday morning and I hope you both have a
wonderful painless (as little as possible)
weekend.
And thank you for being here for
support and understanding and for the
information. I don't know about you two
but I know that I have been in a better
mood since finding this sight and being
able to talk to you two who understands.
:d

G-babies Posted: 09-05-03 21:40pm
Hi ladies, well it's friday
night and I finally got them to sleep at
9pm the baby is coughing but I was only
able to get half a dose of ped. Cough
med. In her. She sees you with med. She
runs!!! Can't blame her it taste nasty.
Now if only I could sleep. Thats half my
problem when I have them I can't sleep for
anything. I dose but I don't ever fall
all the way to sleep. Every little sound
they make ,my eyes pop open. In the mean
time they sleep soundly until about 5:30
or 6am. By then i'm ready for a deep
sleep. I wouldn't trade them for
anything! I do okay when their here but
when they leave my body lets me know it.I
started this day off with a mean
headache!!!! My headaches are getting
worse again I wish I knew whats causing
it.Who knows! We have been fighting a
virus in our computer. Of all things -it
is nasty porno!
i'll be typing away and look up to have
boobs or worse staring me in the face! My
nephew is acomputer expert and went in and
cleand it out or what ever they do. It
took over 12hrs. To do it and we are
still getting some pop ups. He installed
a high tech security program in also!
Have you two had any problems like this?
Well I better try to get some sleep. Talk
at you later.
Sharon

Goodmorning sharon and georgie,
well, it is monday morning and I feel like
sleeping for the next 3 weeks. It was a
long weekend and full of activities.
Besides all the activities there was alot
of stress with 5 girls ( 3 teenagers) to
deal with this weekend. But I made it
through and I guess that is what counts.
Sharon, I haven't had a virus yet but my
boyfriend did tell me last night that
someone is sending a virus through email
with the topic 911 supporters. So
anything to do with the 9-11 attacks that
comes through our email we are just
deleting right away with out opening it
up. You both watch yourselves with these
viruses that are going around on the
computere.
So how was your ladies weekend? I hope
that everything is going okay for you guys
this fine morning. Sharon, you probably
need to sleep to catch up on your sleep
that you lost this weekend while enjoying
your g-babies. Well ladies, I have alot
of work to do this morning to catch up on
that did not get done this weekend. So I
will talk to you all later.
Take care.

Sleep! Posted: 09-08-03 20:00pm
Hello ladies, I barely survied my weekend!
It didn't end until this evening. I'm
pooped!! My feet hurt so.......Bad!!!!
I think teenagers can be as hard on our
bodies as g-babies. It will take me all
week to recoop.
Gorgie I ask my husband about what you ask
me. He said he thinks we have that,but
he's not sure how it works. I will need
to ask my daughter-in-law this used to be
hers. We can seend a private message and
exchange e-mail addresses. I'll try to
seend you ladies mine. Just don't laugh
at my e-mail name I think it' cool!

Goodmorning Ladies Posted: 09-09-03 08:27am
Well, sharon I don't even know how to send
private messages but I do have an email
address that I will give to you both.
My doctor called yesterday. They got
my test results back and the only thing
that came up on my test was that my white
blood cell count was a little high. So
because I am still have problems he wants
me to go see the r.A. Dr. In omaha.
He was going to call and get me an
appointment for as soon as possible and
then let me know. I can't understand
these drs. They keep saying that I am
having more problems because I probably
picked up some type of virus that has made
it flare up. But I get viruses alot,
with three children you get what they
bring home, and it has never affected me
this bad before. I can't believe all the
problems I am having and my boyfriend
don't want to know anything about it. I
guess it is because he is worried. But
when I didn't have you two to talk to then
I had no one and that does not help in the
least bit. So thank you for that.
I hope that you are all rested up and
recooped from this weekend. I guess I am
as much as possible . Hope to hear from
you both soon.
Rita

Morning ladies, I think there is a glitch
in this program momentarily because when
either of you would post before I would be
notified by email which I have not
received this week at all.
My email is rnagy@canad
a.Com usually i'm on most of the
morning and in the evening.
You see I work at a tool and gauge
business and right now the business is so
slow and I spend most of my day playing on
the computer. (i'm the bookkeeper)
it is not fun having any kind of headache
is it? I have had a migraine type
headache for almost 3 years, some days are
worse than others. And working in a tool
press business is no pleasure with one but
I try and tune the noise out. Works most
times.
Rita you and sharon are more than welcome
to call on me for support, a sounding
board or anything you need to get off your
mind or chest. As my hubby said yesterday
as he was loudly complaining about
heartburn "good thing for him I am a good
natured person that doesn't take to heart
when somebody vents on me" I don't take to
heart what is not purposely directed to me
personally.
Talk at you ladies later. I will send a
detailed account for private messages.

I Understand Posted: 08-27-08 13:13pm
9 years ago I was 24 years old and 2
months pregnant when I woke up one morning
with a sore throat. I did not seek
medical attention because I thought it
would go away. A week later I woke up
with a rash (hives) and joint pain
throughout my body. I went to serval
doctors and no one had a clue what was
wrong. By my 6 month into the pregnancy
the symptoms subsided. I thought I was
healed. But a year later it reappeared
(sore throat, rash and joint pain). I
went doctor and he referred my to the
rhemi. I went to the rhemi and he said it
was my weight causing the joint pain. Now
mind you I was over weight but I told the
dr that doesen't make since because I was
always a healthy kid and athletic. Well 9
years has passed and I have been told I
had Lupus, Rhematoid Arthritis,
Fibromyalgia and Arthritis. Over the nine
years I was given steroids to for this so
called auto immune disease. Sometimes I
sit and cry wishing the doctors would have
listened to me and maybe all this pain and
suffering could have avoided. See, I did
have Lupus, RA, or Fibromyaglia I had
strep. Strep Throat can cause joint pain
and rash if let untreated. Remember I
thought I just had a sore throat I never
thought it was strep. Now due to all the
immune suppressant the strep has mutated
in my system causing my body much pain.
Sometimes I wished I just would have went
to the doctor for the sore throat.
sorry I had to vent. You go girl.
Try to rest before you get the g-children
so you can enjoy their visit. I do find
that taking a very hot bath with 1 cup
