I just found your blog through Sunshine and Lollypops on Facebook... and so glad I did! I am in close to the same emotional state as you, though not quite as bad off physically yet.<br />Don't ever be sorry for the somber posts... this is life, our life, and we are all on this bumpy road together. It helps me to read things like this and know I am not alone in my battle, though I feel bad for all who know the same struggles. <br />Please, keep pouring your heart out to us all. Thank you for your honesty.Cassandra Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15119223806464001862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379278689668630184.post-41826975677699667372011-12-04T16:45:04.029+00:002011-12-04T16:45:04.029+00:00Hey, I just wondered how you've been over the ...Hey, I just wondered how you've been over the weekend. You've coped brilliantly before with awful stuff and I am sure you can do it again if it comes to it.

(I've already written this out...Hiyah darling,<br /><br />(I've already written this out twice, and both occasions the website crashed.. arghhh!!) So please excuse my very shortened version now cos I'm so frustrated I can't even remember what I first said bleurghh..<br /><br />Anyways.. I am a regular visitor to your blog but have never commented before and for that I'm sorry, but I have been here secretly willing you on..<br /><br />From a fellow RA sufferer (have had it since a few months and now 23) I want to praise you for your strength and positivity, yes you may think otherwise BUT I can't think of anyone that has gone through what you have and can still have time to laugh about it, let alone write so personally and from the heart!<br /><br />You, my girl are an inspiration. I have days of pure aches/pains/fatigue but am one of the lucky ones who, majority of the time, can go around and almost pretend I am "normal". <br /><br />I have severe ups and downs and keep fighting to break down those walls that keep stubbornly getting in my way, but unfortunately it's life.. and what doesn't break us makes us stronger!! I almost feel sorry for those that can swan around doing what they like when they like because they never fully appreciate the good times, like we can when we get those once in a while!!<br /><br />Please please stay strong and keep fighting because I truly believe it will come back positive on you two fold!!<br />So from one cupcaker, to another, keep smiling beccuse you're beautiful!!! And yes you bloody will get out those sexy heels on and parade in them because you won't and can't let RA rule you!<br /><br />Ps. if you ever need to chat/rant/bitch/just bleurghhhh at someone I'M HERE!!! <br /><br />Nadine xxxxxx (nwebster1@hotmail.co.uk)Nadine Websterhttp://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=505040379&ref=tn_tnmnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379278689668630184.post-28372368998596316362011-11-30T01:19:09.060+00:002011-11-30T01:19:09.060+00:00Ah hon, I don't have the same illness as you b...Ah hon, I don't have the same illness as you but I want to give you a great big hug. Life is kicking the crap out of me at the moment, but for different reasons. It feels like naff all compared to what you're going through.<br /><br />There are a couple of quotes I fall back on. One from Harvey Dent from Batman - 'The night is darkest before the dawn, and I promise you the dawn is coming.' Well, sometimes it needs to bloody well hurry up. <br /><br />The other quote is from Lance Armstrong - 'Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.' <br /><br />Feel free to tell me to poke my 'inspirational' quotes where the sun doesn't shine if they don't help!<br /><br />I long ago gave up wondering why I'd been singled out for a life of crap and pain, except maybe to make me appreciate the good stuff and good people when I'm able. Life chews up and spits out better people than me, so the question changes from 'Why me?' to 'Why not me?' <br /><br />I'll finish off by saying I hope your pain abates so you can have a good night out and lift your spirits x xJust me, Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13863490605328463689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379278689668630184.post-87756498833435633742011-11-29T18:38:27.066+00:002011-11-29T18:38:27.066+00:00Hey Rheuma Girl. Sorry you're going through s...Hey Rheuma Girl. Sorry you're going through such a rough time. I can relate, as the past couple years have been one horrible thing after another for me - that's not counting the arthritis! I recently started to see a counselor to work through some things with my husband (or so I thought) and it has been more help than I imagined. She's really helping me get through some issues relating to arthritis that I had bottled up since I was a child with arthritic hips, etc. Wish I'd done it years ago! Most important, she told me I have every right to complain because sometimes things are just rotten. I think it feels good just to admit it. And it turns out, she has rheumatoid arthritis (purely coincidental!). But if you'd ever thought about talking things out when they become so overwhelming, I highly recommend counseling. It can help relieve some of the stress that is so detrimental to us. By the way, I can relate to the shoe issues, as my wardrobe sadly has changed over the years to accommodate my 'orthopedic shoes'! Not very nice with the party season upon us, is it? I hope things go well for you soon! ~MimiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379278689668630184.post-90418307821161079362011-11-29T16:43:18.726+00:002011-11-29T16:43:18.726+00:00I really do feel for you and don't blame you o...I really do feel for you and don't blame you one little bit for feeling so bad. It's difficult to know what to say and to advise, but I personally believe you have to allow yourself this time and try and move on in a few days. When you have lots of bad luck in many ways(I at age 50 could write the book on it!)and you get lots of pain and medical problems, it's really hard to take, especially when you are an active, generally positive person. Try to talk it over with your loved ones, maybe in a day or two and hope that the right decision will come to you? I completely understand about not wanting to have another hip operation, I had one done just over 2 years ago and they think I'll probably have to have the other one replaced(unsure when)but I can't face that recovery time and I ended up on 2 crutches, which I wasn't expecting and found the whole thing so horrible. Do try to go on your night out if you can as though I understand your concerns, you hopefully will feel better for it and it gives you something positive and good to focus on, however briefly. Take care.Marionnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379278689668630184.post-59336323998813662992011-11-29T15:23:19.308+00:002011-11-29T15:23:19.308+00:00I know this sounds kinda wrong, but I just hope yo...I know this sounds kinda wrong, but I just hope you are having a bad day :( Sending you big hugs xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379278689668630184.post-79738779617138475782011-11-29T13:41:36.813+00:002011-11-29T13:41:36.813+00:00Hey!
