I am 38 and have had ra for 3 years, but had it much longer just never put two and two together, worked through the pain.
My ankles and feet are the worst now…my feet hurt sinice I was 22 but was wearing steel toed boots and always on my feet….I’ve been dealing with the pain for many years, its almost normal for me…then one day I woke up and was stiff all over, felt like I was hit with soap in a sock.
It’s like I lost my freedom…cant do nothing without being tired after 10 mins…
I hate RA….its the worst thing knowing u cant work, play,walk, etc….with out feeling like you played 4 quarters of football with no pads.
I have been on the common meds…nothing really working…meth-o..worked the most but my liver was starting to fail…so much for that….tried orinica….got sick as a dog…got three treatments…1st good..2nd bad…3rd..no more..dizzy,puking,list goes on.
Mad that i got the short straw and getting this crap.
Went from pulling $3300. in a month to $1250. on disability( which I had got in one try..all the stories on going to court and fighting to get it. I luck out in this case) and sitting at home being board,and feeling like “WHY ME” ? …
ANYONE FEELING LIKE THIS TOO?
