darn bcbs. not sure exactly why this time. cant do enbrel cuz crap, who can
afford the 800 a month that it would cost me with insurance. I dont qualify for
any free assitance because I have insurance. my rd is gone for the week. he
gets back next week, then im gone for the week. im off my nsaids and dmards cuz
they are making me sick, im depressed as hell, i cant post onthe other
newsgroup because peopel think im crazy, im feeling paranoid, unloved, and just
feel like crying all the time. i have to hide it from my husband because he
doesnt know how to fully handle it yet. Hes getting better,dont get me wrong ,
finally knows that when im feeling like this i just want him to hold me, not
fix it (hes that kinda guy, if something is wrong and he cant fix it, it
frustrates him). All i have for pain is enough, and i am able to sleep so im
trying to concentrate on those 2 good things. Hardly any of my friends are
talking to me anymore. the band ive followed for 10 years of my life is ending
this summer. I cant get a job, cuz i have to puff for pain and the jobs i could
do they all test, im just a mess. I havent had a chance to get anything but 2
post cards out. I fail at everything i do, i just, ijust, i just dont know what
to do anymore.

Well said Audie.... We have to try to do the best we can with each day but
I have to admit that there are some days when things seem to kind of stack
up but they pass and things do get better with our help. There are
times when everyone just has to keep putting one foot infront of the other
and just keep going.

Aw, Sweetie...all I can say is "I'm sorry".
I'm sorry about everything that is crappy about your life right now.
I'm sorry that we all feel for you, but can't really do anything about it.
I'm just sorry.
I think maybe a trip to that beautiful online wedding album wouldn't hurt a
thing, or cost a cent and might make you smile a little. It sure made me
happy to see you two having so much fun with your friends.
I know I haven't solved any problems or fixed anything, but I wanted you to
know that I care.
Hugs,
Kelly C.

thanks to you, and to the others who have already responded here and tomy
private email box. Its the constant battling on the other newsgroup, seeing my
name thrown in the mud, combined with my health, the fact that the last phish
tour is coming up, everytghing is all just coming to this point where I have no
idea what I'm gonna do with my life. Its defintely like a death, i dealt with
the death of my father better then im dealing with all the crap now. I feel
lame just for complaining because i know there are other people out there who
are way worse off then me, but i cant stop the tears.
thanks again...

dear marnie,
I feel your pain and I just want you to know that I will continue to
pray for you.
I have been weaning off of pred and it has been very painful....this am
has been the worst..my husband has to help me constantly. I have about
four hours during the day when my pain is tolerable. I have been strict
about using pain med. Do not want to get addicted to them...I have come
down from 33mg of pred to 10mg.
I have been on Enbrel and alot of other stuff and had too many infec
with them..I am going to start methotrexate in a couple of weeks...I
have been on that before but we are trying it again...dont have too many
choices.
Sometimes all we can do is to let people love us...
God bless you,
Polly

I can honestly say that I've said a few of the same things this week. I'll
tell you what I've been telling myself. It's time to get your back up and come
out fighting.
Would an appeal with your insurance help at all? I think it's worth a try.
Hope things settle down soon. I know it's SO hard sometimes.

Im not sure. My doc is outta town this week (of course ;-D) but when he gets
back we will see what happens. I think he is going to be surprised and i know
that the other wonderful people who work in his office were pretty upset that
it got denied a second time. They are workin hard on it. I have complete faith
in my doc and his office and that is the ONE THING that keeps me going when
there's nothing left.
