Just some bitching...

Jun 13, 2005 11:11

I feel bad for not updating. I feel bad in general. I seem to be getting worse and not better at all. All these different meds, and no help. Its beyond frustrating. I want to talk to my specialist about it. Like maybe Ive been misdiagnosed. Yeah I wish. I wish she would say..oh yeah you dont have RA. You have something easily treatable or curable.

I'm not gonna say I know how you feel, cause I don't, but I'll always love you and be there if you need me. Well, sometimes I might be hard to find, but, I'll do my best to be there for you. And, if it helps, whenever I ask "the higher entity" (haha) for things, I always have a little space in my heart for you, that prays for a cure for you, or something that will help you out.

Well, I have to go get my report card to see if I passed school... I love you, and keep your chin up! Lots of people love you! And don't forget it!

You poor thing :(
If you go on a shooting spree, let me know and I might join you.

Dont say that! I dont want pity, I just want to bitch and get it out. Oh I think a shooting spree across the country may be cathartic. Lets say you meet half way?

Thanks, I actually made that layout for a freind. Mine is up now. I did try plaquenil, but it gave me the most horrid headaches EVER. So I was taken off of it. I appreciate your info, Im just about fed up with these drugs and thier side effects. With disease its really the lesser of 2 evils. There really are no "good" drugs for people with RA.

Yes I am thankful that there are more options now, but they come with a price. The side effects are horrendus. Plaquinil can make you blind, you have to get an eye exam evey 6 months while taking it. Methotrexate can cause liver failure and swelling of the lungs, so you have to get blood tests every 2 weeks at first and then every month (that was fun), plus you cannot have 1 single drop of alcohol while taking it (those are just a couple of the side effects. It is also used to cause spontanius abortions in egtopic pregnancies ( ... )
