Hang in there Mary Jo for you are not alone...I am 35 years old, widowed female, with a thirteen year old son..I was diagnosed almost two years ago...after being told I had carpal tunnel and many other things before I was ever correctly diagnosed..I had trouble taking alot of the meds because of stomach pain...There were days when I hurt so badly my son had to dress me for work..But, I promise you, there is a medicine out there that will work for you...Just hang on until the doctors can find the right one..There are times that I want to give up too...But then I see my son smile at me and things are always alright again..A new doctor put me on Celebrex about two weeks ago...no upset stomach...and I can actually handle the bad days now...You can too..Just keep moving...And you can always email me if you need to talk.
