Hi Everyone... and happy new year to each and everyone of you. I've been reading posts here, and following along here for some time now, but this is actually my 1st time posting.
I've felt pretty horrible for the past 2 and a half years, My wonderful husband passed away almost 2 years ago, and 3 months later, my baby sister passed at 49 years of age. Needless to say, I've been dealing with great loss, major depression which I've suffered with for many years now, along with a list of other medical conditions.
I have all over body pain, which only seems to be getting worse, so I had an appointment with a ruemy for the 1st time last Friday. She was very nice, listened to me intensely, gave me a very through exam. I'm scheduled to go have lots of bloodwork done and xrays of my knees and spine tomorrow, so we shall see if and what may show up, I really need some sort of answer here, I'm unable to work, and am in the process of applying for s/s disability. I'm scared of what the future has in store for me.
This doctor also prescribed Mobic 7.5 mg for pain and inflammation, which I can take 2 of at a time, I've done that several times and it has done absolutely nothing for me. I take a bunch of other medications as well, so she feels it best to start out simple, and go from there.
I am so grateful to have found DS, as I visit and post in other support groups and hope to learn some new things, and give my support to others as well. Have a blessed day everyone

I am so sorry to hear about your husband and sister. Just to much at one time for anyone and I see why you have pain.
Hope you can come here and vent, ask questions and feel like you aren't alone.
Chgonana, I understand how you feel. I feel like I'm just waiting for the day that my husband leaves me. I don't feel like I'm enough because I hurt all of the time. I hope this group helps. I have enjoyed it.
Thank you for all of your posts. It helps me feel not so alone with this.
I meditate very morning and began taking walks and this helps, along with my meds. Hate the meds but of
r today, it helps.
Hope everyone one of you has a healthy, happy and healing New Year!
I hope you have happy healthy new year.
