Peach, be careful. The person who watches the posts got on my case. I asked her if she had RA or FM. She said no. I said until you can walk in our shoes, don't get in the way of what I can say. I stopped the Methotrexate yesterday. I am also refusing the infusion. If they cannot give me something to give my life back to me, I see no reason to take their drugs which will never cure me. It may take me sooner, which we all know, is not a bad thing. God is in charge and He knows our suffering. But none of us have suffered as bad as He did on the Cross. That is what keeps me going. I was told they referred me to a Pain Management, but I have heard nothing.
The meds they had me on until I quit yesterday are poison. I have black circles under my eyes and I look like I am about ready to go. I don't want to look like that. I want to feel good again.
Have you gone to a pain clinic yet?
In the Upper Peninsula Saunas are a common thing. I miss them. Also, you discussed Light and I feel EXTREMELY
Positive about the Need for Supplemental
Sunlight Source All year,but especially during winter. It has been 7 years since I stopped Tanning regularly and I have Never felt WORSE! It was a slow & steady decline,from the fungus on my feet/ toenails, to my aching joints and the color of skin.the Artificial light in tanning beds
may not be totally healthy,but just as with medications, the right dose is Beneficial.
You will feel good. By being proactive in trying the right help you will get some relief from pain. Call back the pain center if they haven’t called you. Don’t wait around for help to come, go get it. That’ll make you feel like you are doing something productive and mentally feel better. Good luck @marield65
Be nice.
Who is they? Yes, meds sometime we get reactions but no one is forcing you to take it. You have to keep trying them to find what works.
