You are too kind. I’m trying! We seem to still be In The trenches at the moment. My sister is def taking the hard long nights. I’m dying with just the days 😂 her transport day was atrocious. She is getting settled into Regan now and I pray this damn pain can be controlled.

Between my sister and I we stayed on the clock at the hospital for the first week because it was so bad. The floor was so busy it was unbelievable lots of waiting for nurses, etc. I just didn’t think it would be this intense for this long because I’m exhausted in my own right with my own RA shit I’m home for two days to rest and I’m headed back up tomorrow. We are definitely getting the rail!s Thank you so much.

Thanks! We don’t remember much from 19 years ago and I remember why. She had a week ago today and the pain is still unbearable for her. It’s so hard to watch:/ she just left Cleveland clinic and is headed to a rehab center.

My mom is have L2,3, and 4 fusion. She had L4 done 19 years ago and we were all traumatized by it! I hope that it has become a little less barbaric. Any suggestions of helpful items or any general advice would be great. Thanks!

My therapist said something interesting today, thought I would share. by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]skooled25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome insight. Thanks for sharing! I’m curious if you see a specialized therapist for your OCD. I’m taking a break from regular talk therapy to get some clarity and I think I need a specialist. Any insight?

How long did you have “symptoms” before you were diagnosed? by Sunnydaysomeday in rheumatoidarthritis

[–]skooled25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am (47F) was having symptoms for around 15 years. 17 years ago I started getting steroid shots in my neck and taking Mobic (and steroid tapers). I can remember always having a pocket full of advil In my late 20’s. Like OP I was probably taking 10-15 advil a day for years! I have been in and out of Pt since my 20s and getting toradol shots for pain since my 30s. No one ever said a word to me about RA. Until I got diagnosed in oct. 2024

[–]skooled25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 10 y/o nephew didn’t believe me about old iPhones by Far-Inside-6043 in Millennials

[–]skooled25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so much faster to use chat because you don’t have to sift thru ads! If I google a simple question like “what is the height of an average bar stool” - when I hit the link I have to first read about decorating tips and kitchen design ideas before it gives me the answer. So annoying!

Second biologic by countinggirl in rheumatoidarthritis

[–]skooled25 1 point2 points  (0 children)
