I am sorry things got so bad for you and I guess I am thankful they have come so far in the treatment of this crappy disease. There is always someone in a worse situation than we are in but it still sucks all the same. Constant pain and fatigue are an awful thing to learn how to live with. It has been a wonderful thing to find this website and see that others are living with this too and get their experiences that maybe will help us. I truly thought I had turned whiny and extremely lazy. I hope things go well with your surgeries. I would like to hear how things turn out.

I know exactly how you feel. I have had ra for 30 years. I am 47 years old. I didnt have the right medical care in the beginning and I am now in a wheelchair and facing surgery on all my joint which have become contracted. I am having a hip replacement next week and then 2 knee replacements. I am in complete agony right now because I have to be off my ra meds because of the surgery. I keep asking what Ive done to deserve this! Then I try to tell myself that there are people worse off than me! Its nice to be able to talk to people that really underastand what we are all going through. The best advice I can give is to find the best rheumatologist and a great physical therapy program both of which I didnt get soon enough! Best of luck to you! I hope yopu feel better!
