post about my problems, but I've really been having a hard time of it lately. Been without any anti-depressants for about three weeks now. Just now becoming aware of the results. Been on a short fuse and now I'm finding it difficult to deal with everyday things. Not only that, but I'm sure that it's because I have no insurance at the moment, that my body decided to make things a bit rougher, too. What the heck! Lets all of me make it harder, why not?

Seems my arthritis is progressing to where it hasn't been before. Now the middle of my spine is killing me whether "I sleep on it right" or not. So it's my lumbar spine, my cervical spine AND all points inbetween. My kidneys have decided to lay down on the job and I've been swelling to the point of making me panic. The water pills I take daily aren't cutting it, either. Then a more personal problem that makes it almost impossible to sit. You've heard of reeming someone a new *****? Yep! I think I have a new one that is EXTREMELY painful. Didn't know it was physically possible... Don't normally...

And I won't go into the family problems that have RE-STARTED just since I've been without my ADs. Don't normally... Don't normally... Don't normally...

I don't need solutions. I know how to get physical help for myself. Right now, I don't have the motivation, is all. Maybe I just want ya'll to know I'm having a bad time of it and would like some empathy...

Don't normally... Don't normally... Don't normally... Don't normally... Don't normally... Don't normally... Don't normally... Don't normally... Don't normally... Don't normally... Don't normally... Don't normally... Don't normally... Don't normally... Don't normally... Don't normally... Don't normally... Don't normally... Don't normally...

{{{{{{septembermorn}}}}}}}

My arthritis has been getting worse too. The level of pain is no where near it has been during my worst periods, but it does seem to be moving more and more into other parts of my body. Most concerning, my hands. (It has always been mostly limited to my knees... including my feet and ankles at the worst times)

Last night I noticed not just hands and feet, but individual fingers and toes... bit different sensation than before.

(((((((((Tomi)))))))))) I sure understand about the back pain and the arthritis pain. All of my fingers are swollen and hurting most of the time now. My knees and one hip and my spine all hurt from it too. I cannot take anti-inflammatory drugs....even asprin or I have awful belly aches.

You have my empathy, sympathy and prayers. Physical pain makes all the mental stuff seem worse, imo.

Thanks for the hugs, Wantto... they really help. It's times like these that I miss my mom so much. Can you imagine a 62 yr old grandma missing "her mommy." LOL It's the back rubs, the leg and foot rubs and "what can I bring you" that I miss so much. The hugs and sympathy like yours help in not missing "mommy" so much. Don't normally...

Susan, then you know some of what I'm going through. I can't take anti-inflamatories, either. Don't normally...

Yup, don't need emotional pain when there's physical pain. Makes both worse. Don't normally...
