man...thats exactly what it feels like.

you did a damn good job of projecting the pain.

amen, i wish more people could understand that young people have arthritis too.

yeah, it's so frustrating sometimes...and then there are some who don't believe you, unless they can see you when your actually hurting...or in a wheel chair (in my case)....

i get out anyways, and no matter what try not to let it get me down. that makes life way to boring, and then you never learn anything, or how to get stronger along the way.

but to answer your question, jra, and hands (and all that goes with it), elbows, ankles feet, or whatever...its like, yes thats hurting and i know what hurts, can i get on with my life now? ok? ok...and then i do.

That is the most beautiful thing i've ever heard - er...read. so very true.

though sometimes, i just feel so hopeless, and i don't want to go on. and then i feel like i'm whineing and not picking myself up. I even start feeling sorry for myself.

Other times i just don't care, i go off my meds adn i feel fine, until of course the weather changes, and then BAM, i flare.

so i guess, you ('you', in general) just have to live and get over it.

really? beautiful? wow, that was like the farthest thing from my mind when i said that. I don't know, its just what comes in my head every time I'm in alot of pain. Doesn't help my optimism all the time, but I like the think that it does, lol! Like there are time I positively hate my life for getting this, but I force myself to think positive anyways. I have lots of little battles with myself. It helps me from not getting depressed.

mmhmm, very, it's deffinately true.

Exactly! sometimes i hate myself, i hate the fact that i'm not 'normal'. You know what i mean?
but it's not so much that i have the jra, it's the fact that i have to take so many damn pills!! it get's annoying after a while.


i know what you mean about 'battles'. I go back and forth between feeling sorry for myself and yanking myself up and saying 'snap out of it'.


But when it's really bad, i just sit there and think about how it sucks. But then there are so many other people out there who have it so much worse. What with AIDS and HIV, even Lupus. those are the people i should feel sorry for.
Because the JRA can be helped. all i have to do is pop a few little pills in my mouth and i'm set. and i'm glad that wrapping my hand up in an ace bandage is the extent of it.
