Well, ontop of all things we may lose our home now.We have been here almost 18 yrs. and now we may lose it.It is in foreclosure now.You know,I just can't believe this is happening to us.Our family has been through so much illness.Medical bills never go away.Please pray for us.I am still not feeling well.My arms locked up on me this morning in the elbows and my fingers are doing the same.I can't afford to go see any dr. right now.I am gonna call my family dr. and ask him should I be on something other than the vicodin.Maybe the predisone would help with everything.I hope he will call it in for me without me coming in to the office.I hope you all don't mind me posting this here.I really have no one to talk to about this.I am so embarrased and scared.
Right now we are trying to see about gettting a cash advance from my husbands second job and looking into getting help from some groups in our area.
What I don't understand is we never eat out,if I do shop for clothes it is at Goodwill,our grocery bill could be smaller.But, we don't spend money on anything but bills.We just got behind and had some bounced checks that got us even further behind.
Thanks for listening to me once again whine and cry over my life.Please pray for us.

Sheila...I am certainly not the onethat should be giving you advice...so I won't! But I will keep you & your family in my prayers. Being in pain makes everything else so much more unbearable...I know that. I'm very sorry for you.

Sheila I am so sorry all of this is coming on you right now. I have also been thru the process of being evicted from my place. My husband,who Im now seperated from, wouldnt go and talk to the landlord and was to stubbron to ask for help. Then 2 months after that he just left me. Said he wasnt happy and needed to be away from me.
I say all that to say this: I know the situation is embarassing and stressful, especially trying to also deal with your health problems. But dont be afraid to ask for help. Exhaust every means that you can to keep your house. Look at some government programs that may be able to help you as well.
I am not an expert in this area by any means, and I dont want to try to sound like one. But I do hope that this can help you in some small way to cope. You are in my thoughts sweetie, Im hoping everything works out for you.

Sheila,
I'm so sorry you are in such a desparate situation. Of course our thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope the pred does help with the pain....you'll be much more able to deal with the situation if you can get that under control.
Try to face it and deal with it and just get through it. Don't be embarassed or ashamed, times are hard and bad things happen to good people...alot! Things always seem to fall into place, usually just before you've completely fallen apart.
We've been know to generate some pretty hefty positive energy around here and it's headed your way
Years ago married to my first husband we faced financial difficulites over and over again. I know first hand the stress it all causes and the stress it puts on your health; especially with a disease like RA.
You hang in there sweetie. I'll keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. You keep your chin up. Everything in life happends for a reason...even the bad stuff. I know that sounds stupid; but it's something I truely believe in.

Sheila, I don't know how old you are but I know from my roller coaster life that things ALWAYS get better. Reach out to organizations in your area - Salvation Army is wonderful for helping people in need. I know that they have a program that will help with bills and you can maybe ask them for financial counseling. You are in a vicious cycle. Stress causes pain, pain causes stress and pain and stress make it so difficult to deal with real life issues. Have you considered bankruptcy? Do not let them take your house. There are non-profit orgs. that help with financial counseling. Do a search on the web. Do things one step at a time. DON'T PANIC. Be careful with the Vicoden and get to a clinic to manage your illness. I think Vicoden could be dangerous in your situation. You need your wits about you. Good luck. My heart breaks for you. RoxanneWell maybe some good news.I called the United Way and they have a group there that helps famalies in foreclosure,even worse off than we are.We have an appt. with them in the morning at 10:00.She told me not to worry about everything,it will be ok.So some relief may be instore.
I appreciate you all listening to me and encouraging me.I feel better now that I think this group with the United Way maybe able to help us.
I will let you all know how it goes tom.

Sheila,
GREAT to hear that God is answering your prayers. I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers every evening while lighting my "RA Friends" candle.
Keep us posted...

I'm so sorry to here you are going through such a mess,and illness,I'll be praying for you.sherrySheila that sounds like good news. I've got my fingers crossed for you and your family...stay positive.Thats excellent news. No matter what, do not let them take your house. Hopefully United Way can help by possibly interceding on your behalf with your creditors. And don't ever be embarrassed to come here and ask for help. Even if its just to have someone to listen. A lot of the people who are members here have had to deal with bad situations due in part to their having arthritis and the stresses it puts on families and finances. You are very definitely not alone in your problems. Next time you post instead of a
