Raynauds disease, as well as Arthritis in my feet and ankles.

I was reading on face book the other day that this is classed as a rare disease.I feel so sorry for you, as there is no cure for Raynauds disease.I can not imagine for a moment how you must be feeling, what with all the pain of the Raynauds, as well as the arthritis.I have read other discussions that you have put on here, also the photos that are on here of your skin, you take morphine pills as well as the oral morphine.I know for a fact that they do not issue oral morphine, as well as the pills containing morphine, unless they are really needed, so it is very obvious that you are in serious pain and this is a seriously nasty disease that you have.How I wish I could take your pain away, if only for a day, just so that you were pain free for a while.I hope that you are getting lots of help, as well as people that will support you.Sending you hugs.

i have heard of that. i do have a bit of arthritis though my main complaint is fibromyalgia which makes it difficult to live day to day sometimes.

Oh, jugsjugs, I am soooo sorry; that looks extremely painful. I hope you can get it under control. I don't know how you cope; what a wonderfully strong person you are.

OMG! And I thought I had it bad with my arthritis. That doesn't look like it feels good at all. And that is WITH the medication I suppose. I am on one anti-depressant and the doctor wants to put me on more. Are you eating well? There are herbs and nutrients that could help you alot. Maybe not cure you but certainly help.

I'm so sorry to see this, Jugs. My mother suffered from arthritis and I know that there is no cure for this. She was feeling pains in the hands, she had sore ankles and in the last months of her life she was not able to go out from the house. My hearth is with you, I wish you to find some relief.

I am sorry to hear about your condition jug. Just hang on there, and don't forget your medicines so the pain could be alleviated. My mother many months ago was also plagued by her osteoarthritis and arthritis itself. She wasn't able to walk for almost 3 weeks. We were all so sad for her. However, after the doctor has prescribed her a new medicine, she regained her mobility. Now, she's so mobile again, in fact, would once in a while go malling with my father and eat in a resto. Medicines can indeed help us very much.

That looks terribly painful! I hear you about just existing - I watched my mom failing until it was hard to find my mother in the husk she had become because of strokes...

I have the same problems and it can be very painful. I have found that after using tapping for amost two years, several times a day i can reduce the pain. For the Raynauds I make sure to wear heavy socks on my feet and put gloves on anytime my hands might get cold. If my hands do get cold I soak in very warm water and that helps after a few mins. I also tuck my hands under my cloths to keep them warm. But go to tapping.com and study the video then just jget in the habit of using this as soon as a small pain arrives in your hands. I have tried all other pain killers, pills and paste and none of them work as well. Blessings

I am sorry you are in so much pain all the time. Does it hurt any less when you are sitting and not trying to stand or walk? I have pain in one of my feet from a perminately damaged ligimant, but I can't imagine it hurts that badly.

My gosh, jugsjugs! Looking at all these photos, I can see what you mean now - as I've read about what all you are going through in your discussions. Sending you healthy vibes and I hope all the pain and disease stuff leave your system for good.
