Gosh!! Thank you all and very sorry for the long absence. I was busy having a life again :p
After my leave from work I came back with new energy and a lot had changed in the office. The guy who was my manager had moved up the corporate ladder and gave good words for me. Thanks to him I am now in a less stressfull job, that pays more and is more within my capacities to manage. YAY! (I owe him a bottle of wine or something... he kept faith in me even when I was at the worst. Understanding that I AM NOT THE DISEASE)
I've planted a garden, took part in the walktofightarthritis.ca, took on a new job, looking forward to maybe be able to conceive but overall keeping a positive outlook on life.
Isn't it much better than life in a wheelchair, copping with pain?
Shy, I’m so happy for you! And I’m happy for us: so many of us need good news like this to help us on our way to remission and comfort. Thank you for coming back and posting.
I don’t have to tell you how fortunate you are to have such a pro-active, thoughtful and caring rheumatologist who was prepared to pull out the stops and deploy her best weapons agains your disease. I hope that you stay well and happy. But should you start to slide back into that deep trench, I’m sure that your rheum will be there,ready to help you pull yourself out again.
Please don’t disappear on us! Think of the the people that you can help encourage with your positive experiences!
Good for you! I never saw your first post but what a night and day turn around very apparent in your writing as well. Had to pull my self off the floor from laughing at your candid humor on the first post which I totally get. So happy to hear that with perseverance you are now living life again!!
