About Me
Everyday think of something that is good and you are grateful for in your life. I am married with two children and two grandbabies. I pray everyday to help me again get a new start, but its a struggle. I have several things wrong with me but I battle on. I have had alot of test by alot of specialist, I have fibro which makes my pain a thousand times worse then it actually is. I was in the fibro group but honestly its a hostile group. Like someone said that recently left its a mean nasty group. There are good people there but no reason to put up with the cruel people that upset you. They dont want to learn about ways to help themselves so I have given up on that group. I guess my heart is too big and I try to help with natural things and exercises people can do and then get blasted because its not about taking PAIN PILLS. So hopefully there is a group on DS that talk about helping each other even if it is drugs because I do have to take some myself then a group where they NIT PICK if you making a typing mistake or they are just downright mean and cruel if they dont like your posting about exercise and just rude. So I cant let these sick people get to me anymore This is suppose to be a support site but I find its more of a back stabbing site that just want to hurt others.

Thank you for the info. about the shots. I thought the ortho told me it would last only a matter of months (say 6 months)--if it worked at all. Also, he wasn't going to do it at all. He would have done it for bursitis, but for arthritis he said it would have to be done by a radiologist with simultaneous x-rays (arthrogram, I think it was called)--which would make it very expensive. Is this the kind of shot you had?
UR Welcome
Your welcome and let me know what you learn!! Hugs, Donna

Hi I am an animal lover. Wasnt long ago I had to put my dog of 15 years to sleep and shortly after my cat of 17 years.
