Hey im still around! | Arthritis Information

 

Hey Everyone,
Havnt been around in awhile, been lurking just didnt have much to say. its gets old me saying how much my joints hurt....But yea. I am back at school and having a hard time dealing with stuff. my joints have been pretty bad i take tramadol everyday and i can hardly tell I took anything. I am trying to keep busy and occupied to keep my mind off things, its been hard emotionally as well, I get really down and upset often... but im here and im plowing forward.........hope all of you are doing alright!!Aww...so sorry you're having a rough time LM.  I sure hope things get better for you soon!

keep on keeping on LM!! We all understand exactly what you're saying. Hey there, good to see you posting.  Tramadol didn't do much for me either.  Finally my primary care offered me Vicodan and it really helps.  I take it only when I know I'm going to be super busy.  It's the mildest dose and it takes the edge off the pain.  I'm sure it's doubly hard for you to have a full load at school.  Just keep plowing through and of a sudden it will be 2009.  Has your meds been adjusted recently?  Lindy Hey littlemermaid, it's good to hear from you. Just keep swimming, Just keep swimming. (OOPS wrong movie that's from Finding Nemo not the Little Mermaid) but it's fitting for your screenname. Tramadol used to be my best friend LM but i have noticed lately that it does nothing for the pain anymore. Sorry to hear that you are still having problems, its not easy with pain and school. It's not tiring for you to post you're not doing well.  You have a full plate and RA - can it get much tougher?  thanks everyone :) yea ims till taking all the same meds, but hopefully im switching to actemra as soon as its approved and I go see my doctor!! I actually meant to ask you all a question....my wrists have been excessivly cracking, my doctor always says it doesnt matter but its gotten to be a lot i am constantly rolling my wrists all i have to do is move them the slightest bit and they pop, they hurt...its not like popping without pain, sooo i dunnno what to think, my doc isny concerned though
