About Me
I have been dealing with severe chronic pain from RA/DDD since about spring of 2006. My faith and my support team gets me thru. Each day, I count my blessings, including the many members of my DS "family" - a wonderful, diverse list of friends that have changed, maybe even saved, my life. I pray I can continue to be there for them, as they are for me, as we sometimes embrace, and sometimes endure, life together, with genuine compassion and understanding.

Interests
I love to work with kids. I hope one day to work for or have my own nonprofit helping children of any age. I get away by taking pictures and heading to the RV at the lake. I love hand crafts and sometimes, just waste time coloring. When I have the energy I love to sing or dance on my PS2

Hi Liz, It is so good to hear from you. It seems like it has been forever. I sure hope you get things sorted out. It has been a long hard path that you have been on. I will be praying for you that everything works out ok. I just had quite an experience myself. You can read my latest journal post if you want. It's all there. I still consider you one of my adopted kids lol. Good luck kiddo and may God bless.
With love, Joey

Lizzy - you can check out my RA history under the post Remission - 5 momths (something like that). Yes, I do understand! I've been through the wringer with RA but am doing much better now.
Welcome to my friends - I'm sure Viesta told you I come with recipes - I post recipes along with my journal entry, then send an alert to my friends in case they want to copy or try it.
Hugs,
Lynne

Thanks for the support. Always know that I am here if you ever need me. I'm not too far ahead of where you are, maybe two months. I moved out Aug 7th. But if I can ever be of any assistance let me know.

Close Chronic Pain
Like many of you, I suffer from chronic pain 24/7. The worst of it is from fingertip to fingertip, but I have back issues up and down and circulation issues with it. I have had rocks for muscles for years and find the cold too much to bare, especially on my wrists and ankles. I am seeing a pain specialist and a rhuematologist. I try hard to take care of myself homepathically any way I can, but I had to conceed that I can't manage the pain without treatment. UGH
