Reply to "Finding it hard to stay optimistic"

Thank you all for your replays and so sorry to for took me so long. As first to answer some of your guestions. I do not live in military base becouse there aren't this type of accomodation here in Croatia. I tried causuling but just after one therapy doc said that my emotions are normal and I am strong enaugh to survive anything life puts in front on me, so you guess I stop going. Yes I do use heating pads and they help me a little bit. Also warm baths hepl a little. We do have swimming pool in my town but it's cold water so I think it would't do me good. I go from time to time on a massage. Also I send my papers for dissability and I am waiting for them to call me back for some seven mounths now and who knows how much more will I wait. Here administration is so slow,so Frances your time you wait for papers is a drop at the sea here. For example-my doc listed me for rheumatologist and I get appointment in March 2017. So now I must go private and pay. And if I came in that stage not to be able to work anymore but to live with my husbands paycheck and my dissability income it's going to be hard to survive honestly. Dissability income here are belove average and also they depend of percentages they give you. As for advice to take deppresant sorry I am strongly against them. I even reffused to take them when my mother died and I was mess. But thank you for you honest opinion. So at the end I have,if isn't to much to ask, questions for you. Do you all have same type of arthritis?  Did your dissabilities came fast or took them years to slow you down?And Jane if it isn't too much to tell me what kind of NSAID you have been useing and did they mess with your bowels and j pouch?

Best wishes to you all.
