February 9th I found you. I'd had it really rough with heart surgery Dec 1st, and not being able to take RA drugs my condition went ballistics! Screaming pain every morning, and nothing helped to stop it. Vicoden, Oxycodone (sometimes) ultram, I took them all!! After posting on the website I received so much support that I wished I'd know about you all sooner. thank you so much for your support, compassion, understanding, responses, good suggestions, but mostly just being able to talk to people who have 'been there done that'. And now, lovely 'go girl' after I posted my good news of getting to drive my car, get back some of my real life, before this all happened to me. The heart murmur was discovered Nov 1st, when I was treated for pneumonia, they raced me to the hospital by Dec. 1st. But no one! and I mean no one guessed that the RA would be murderous after I got home. It is all past me now, but it is hard to forget the horror of waking with such pain. I had never had it so bad. I sympathise with those who suffer that intense pain. (I was seeing 3 doctors, now I've been pain free for 20 days! ) Thanks all!!
I am so estactic to hear your health has improved so quickly. I do remember your first post. It is wonderful, wonderful to hear when someone is doing better.
Now your experience will turn around and help someone else. I'm so happy for you.
Yeah! congratulations on being pain free! That's awesome!
Gentle hugs,
Nini
