Legs too weak to walk scared | Arthritis Information

 

He is on TV two or three times a day on Sundays as well as the internet.

That's the link to Lake Wood Church in TX. CHeck it out if you have time. It's pretty neat and I think you'd like it very much. I'm on their email list and they send daily emails. Sometimes I don't read them....but it's nnice to get in my mailbox everyday to remind me to stay strong.

 

I'd have that SOB husband of yours arrested if he stepped foot on your property again. I know at times you think you need him but he's been nothing but trouble for you and he'll never be a strong enough man to take care of you. He only makes things harder for you. I know that's difficult to do. I know you're heart broken over the situation; but over time it will get easier.

 

Hang in there.

 

Obviously if you don't want to listen to any of Roxy's "fairly tales" just don't click on any of the post she starts. It's as simple as that.

 

I see no reason to kick the woman while she's down. That's just cruel and although I don't want to fight with folks like you that hide behind different screen names just to be mean; I wouldn't feel right ignoring it.

 

Grow up!

 

 

I totally agree Lovie. Henrietta, that is really rude of you . I thought this forum was a place to come when you are hurting and to get support not to beat someone up because they hurt alot.

I guess in the long run it really does not matter what you write because Roxi is getting the support that she needs.And she always will.Prayers for you.  Hope things get better.  You said your ex was in rehab.  Drugs or alcohol? Al-Anon is support for those affected by these.  Can be helpful. Roxy- so sorry you are so ill. Prayers going up for healing. [QUOTE=Henrietta] News flash - they don't treat you poorly at the hospital because of your insurance.

Actually, you are wrong about that Henrietta. Take a look at the two women who recently died, one on the floor of an ER in California while the janitors swept around her body. The other more recently...can't remember where but she died of a blood clot in the waiting room and it was an hour before someone approached the dead body and decided to do something about it. Were these women uninsured? Underinsured? Probably indigents. So, don't say you don't get treated poorly because of insurance....or lack of it. You do. I happen to work in a great place that does not do that but not everywhere is like here.

Oh, and don't come to this thread and spew your nastiness on Roxy. You are not welcome here. lorster2008-08-09 13:48:51Henrietta- I cannot imagine the kind of person that can make such evil spirited malicious accusations about a person you do not even know. By the way, bowel movements, taking a dump, a sh*t, pooping - are all parts of all people's lives and especially people on pain pills. Why it was pertinent to this conversation was the doctor at the hospital told me that you can actually cause a stroke by straining too hard without isloating only the rectal muscles instead of scrinching your face and head and putting a strain on your brain as you push. It can cause blood vessels to burst. Ask a doctor. I am sure you are not familiar with this horrible physical neccessity of life by all but you but some of us actually have to contend with constipation from pain killers. I am sorry for anyone this offends but I find it ridiculous. It is just part of life for all animals. I also do not drink a cup of tea with my pinky held out from the cup..

PS Please ignore the meds at the bottom of page as they are totally different. That was when I had insurance. My only RA med is prednisone now and Lyrica for the Fibro.roxy2008-08-09 14:14:28Jan, I do Al A Non on the computer and read its books. I will always love my husband and believe he has a disease - drinking mainly but he likes opiates. Anyway, he has been in rehab four times and every time I welcomed him back with open arms and was very supportive. He still began drinking. I was certain this time he had it after eight months but drank on the plane on his way here so Ilove him but the relationship is toxic for me.

PS Thank you for support and especially those that made me feel better that they had had similar muscle weakness. It was very scarey that I had to be carried and my legs just dragged on the ground. Good news is my muscle strength is back and Henrietta - I can now get to the bathroom on my own.

Also, I had a migraine up to the middle of the night last night but Thank you God - which I do use prayer - I only have a slight headache now and Kelsey and I are about to watch the Spiderwich Chronicles.

Lorster, I was able to get a unique perspective on how you are treated according to insurance. I was on one of the best medical plans out there. I was treated like a queen. Now I am treated with minimal effort and next to no testing or respect when I go. I cannot get a doctor and my several hospital experiences, with exceptions from some nurses, have been demeaning experiences with me leaving never knowing what to do or have any clear cut plan how to resolve health issues. I am never asked to follow up when I was ALWAYS asked to follow up with the good insurance. So there are no absolutes but there is a huge disparity in medical care. I pray when I get my Medicaire in October it will improve but I do not know.

I will say a prayer for you Henrietta. The anger you have in your heart will manifest itself in your life. People can change and a loving positive attitude toward people and life is what it is all about. Try being kind to someone today. You will be surprised how much YOU benefit by it.roxy2008-08-09 14:33:26Well... it is true that your insurance does play a big role in how doctors treat you. I have to go to a medicaid dr, even though I have private insurance. I would say my medicaid Dr kinda lacks in helping me to find out my problems. I go to him because of not being able to pay co-pays and because I like his nurse practicioner. She is pretty good and listens and spends a lot of time with you. As for him... he seems to keep it all in his mind and written in your file. Most times when I see him I feel like I left without an explaination for my problems, because he just gives brief statements and not much detail, like his nurse practioner. Roxy and Joonie.  I totally agree.  I hear comments all the time from certain doctors that will not take a referral if the person has no coverage or medicaid.  But there are doctors with huge hearts who will.  I went to a big hospital in Seattle a few years back.  I had great insurance.  Well, after the insurance settled, I made arrangements to pay 50 dollars a month for the balance.  I was sending it every month as agreed.  A few months later, they turned me into collection.  Seems as though, that 50 bucks was just for one department.  Each department wanted  50 dollars a month which would have added up to 200 a month.  I didn't have that kind of money but they threatened me with court action if I didn't put it on my credit card or finance it in some way which I did.  They informed me that I would not get any further care until the balance was paid in full which at the time I needed the botox.  I never went back as I talked my doctor here into doing the botox.  I was a person with good insurance...and I was treated like less than human just because I didn't understand their terms.   Roxy, I have a question, maybe you can help me out. How do you get your Lyrica covered? It is sooo  expensive, I cannot hardly believe it. I dread to even have to think about getting a refill every month.  Do they have some kind of program where you get help getting it paid for or something? I sure could use it if they do. Just curious and wondering if you would be willing to tell me how you get it paid for. Thought maybe I could get some help too. Reader do you have to get your insurance to agree to pay for it every month or at you also? Or do you not have insurance? I never have a problem with my insurance.Reader - It is NOT covered. My PA gives me free samples every month. I do not know if it is doing any good. If my PA did not give me samples, I would be in big trouble. He also gives me ulcer medicine and medicine for my migraines. He gives Kelsey medicine for her incontinence.Roxy [QUOTE=buckeye]Roxy [/QUOTE] Hi Roxy I hope things get better for you Roxy. My GP has given me a month worth of FREE samples of Coreg CR, twice now. Because I could not afford the co-pay for the private insurance of ! NUTS!
