Luckily I'm self employed, and I work approximately 30 hours a week. Try to find something you are really good at, passionate about, and possibly look into starting your own business and or job....
I'm a 27 year old male with Crohns and RA, and know exactly what you're feeling. I'm self employed, which helps a lot and takes off a lot of pressure and stress. But I have resigned to the fact that...
I also tried Nucynta, and had some very bad side effects. It sounds like there was a lot going on here in a long period of time in your situation, so I'm not sure I can give you a specific answer, or...
Not harsh at all. Just please know that I have been, and have tried all the naturopathic stuff. In many cases it made things worse such as physical therapy. I've tried all of it: herbs, vitamins,...
Actually Rick, you're absolutely correct. The more noise you make, so long as you are polite, and not some drugged up dope feign, if it get's you relief, that's fine by me. As far as the heavy stuff...
I've been trying to find anyone on this medication. Does anyone have any experience with it? I have been on Remicade since 07, but it's helping the Crohns and not my newly diagnosed Rheumatoid...
I have to say the conditions of what I have, I have come to terms with. I'm trying to focus one day at a time and not fret too much into the future because there really isn't anything I can do to...
Yes I don't think Hydrocodone is really helping me anymore because I have reached a tolerance. I think I'm gonna start "opiate cycling" to prevent tolerance with Oxycodone. What types of doses do...
I am young, I am 27. This whole "epidemic" because of a few punks who wanted to get high, and make tons of money has just totally ruined this for real sufferers like us, and for that I hate those...
I posted something like this almost exactly in the RA forum, I almost thought I had posted this! Yes I sympathize with you 100%. I know exactly what you are going through. I don't feel depressed, but...
Ughh.... Because a couple punks wanted to make some big bucks off opiates now we all have to suffer. It really edit me off. I had to edit a word out of your post. HW has a few rules in place, so if...
I have Crohns Disease, and Rheumatoid Arthritis. To make matters worse I was in a car accident (not my fault) in September of 2014. So, my neck and back get so flared up it can be impossible to move....
I've tried everything everyone has mentioned above. In addition I also have Crohns disease, so as you can imagine I am in agonizing pain many times. Yes I take methotrexate, I've tried heat, I've...
What kind of pain meds do people use and recommend? I was in a car accident, and have horrible horrible neck and back pain, with the RA only making things worse. I cannot get out of bed sometimes, I...
Has anyone tried Simponi for their RA? I have Crohns and RA, and my Rheumatologist recommended I switch from Remicade, which has been helping my Crohns, to Simponi to help both. I had my first...
Sorry to hear about your situation. I feel your pain, and do other members in this forum. Our situations suck- we were dealt a bad hand in life. But, we have to make the best of our situations anyway...
Alicia, just curious, how did you meet your husband? Is he supportive? Is he bothered by your condition?...
I shall look further into disability. I guess dwelling on the future is useless, but it's hard not to. Where will I go? What will I continue to do with my life? How will I go about doing the things I...
Thanks for all the responses and I'm glad to know I am not alone. Beth, I considered Humira but I have terrible needlephobia and the thought of injecting myself every two weeks just would be...
I was thinking about starting Xeljanz...
I have so many diseases, but I figure I would just stick it here. I have come to this forum for a support group, and to vent. I'm looking for people who are in similar situations like me; who can...
No, actually if it wasn't for the Hydrocodone I'd be doing a lot worse off, at least for me. I guess it's just a matter of finding the right combinations of drugs. I was wondering if anyone on here...
I wasn't sure where to post this, so MODs feel free to move it. I have so many diseases, but I figure I would just stick it here. I have come to this forum for a support group, and to vent. I'm...
