One time magic, next time not so magical. It's rough and understandable to correlate thinking with worrying. I am glad you have your girlfriend in your life. Loved ones can make a difference, that's for sure. I hope you are feeling better soon.<br /><br />AAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280610066627399629.post-62764163736385084592012-05-23T00:59:51.055-07:002012-05-23T00:59:51.055-07:00Steroid injections are a mystery to me.

I wish this one was that quick magic bullet but maybe, just maybe it will work for you in the long run. And wooohoooo...you have someone to dance your life away with :-) Yes, I am figuratively speaking but so happy for you!Deb aka AbcsOfrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12619087592028571941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280610066627399629.post-56795282725728153982012-05-22T21:39:28.086-07:002012-05-22T21:39:28.086-07:00A little bit of support can go a very long way tow...A little bit of support can go a very long way toward making it easier to get through a nasty flare, that's for sure. It's good that you're not having to cope with it alone this time, but I'm sorry you're having such trouble with the steroid injection, Squirrel. There's just no way to predict how RA will behave. You're right that it's one of the hardest things about this disease.<br /><br />I'm sending all the warmth, care, and patience your way that I can. Be gentle with yourself, okay? I hope each day will see you feeling better and better.L."Wren" Vandeverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03587456557210335403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280610066627399629.post-58551370132701926762012-05-22T19:56:50.708-07:002012-05-22T19:56:50.708-07:00*sigh* I'm sorry the shot didn't help as m...*sigh* I'm sorry the shot didn't help as much as it did last time hun... but you know what? I'm super happy that your girlfriend is helping you focus elsewhere :) It is so wonderful when that happens. I've noticed around my boyfriend my pain levels are at least half. I wish I could bottle whatever he does just by being around and carry it with me at all times.Kirsten Schultzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08358844153950812994noreply@blogger.com
