I think I have the blues | Arthritis Information

 

Sorry I haven't been participating much in the past week. I think I have the "blues'.

I feel a lot like that too,,, I know what ya mean, CathyMarie. Been a bit 'bluesy' myself lately.
Frustrated with doctors, not sure just what the heck all is wrong with me, and completely stressed out about it and a bunch of other things going on in my life right now.

Absolute overload.


Just keep tellin' myself that it could be worse, ya know? Awwww.....I am sorry, CathyMarie. Hi Cathy, I feel down too, my mum who passed away two years ago would have had a birthday today and I still miss her awfully, hope you have a good weekend, I understand about feeling anxious to post, you wonder what is going to come back to you, thinking "am I next"?  Hugs Janie. (((((((Cathy))))))))CathyMarie - I am so sorry that you haven't been feelilng up to participating on this board.  I just want you to know that you have been very helpful to me in the past.  I have appreciated your responses and honest answers to my questions.  For over a year now I was diagnosed with PMR.  However, my main symptoms have always been in my joints.  Well, earlier this week my rheumatologist told me I had rheumatoid arthritis as well.  He had added Plaquenil to my prednisone back in the beginning of Dec.  Now we might add Methotrexate to the mix.  If it weren't for you guys I would feel very alone.  I do have friends and family that care, but I don't think anyone gets it unless they have it.  I don't know what to say to people anymore when they ask me how I am doing.  I don't want to keep saying, "about the same" which is the truth.  So now I don't have to say much when I can come here and feel connected.  Anyway, I hope you are feeling better and thank you always for your support.  That goes to everyone else that is always so helpful on this forum.

[QUOTE=Spelunker]Although I too see the entertainment value of what takes place on this forum, I also see the potential damage some comments and judgments can have, even on those who are bystanders rather than direct participants.

I don't disagree.  But then again, there are plenty of moderated forums for those who need a bit more "refined" atmosphere.  Maybe it's because I was basically raised in a bar by ex-hippie parents, but I definitely feel more at-home in a raucous environment.  I practically break out in hives in formal settings.
