Hi. My Name is Lyzette and I a 39. I was diagnosed with RA a year ago and also have had gastric bypass surgery in July in the hopes to get as healthy as possible. I am afraid of being bed-ridden, which I was heading to, as after I would come home from work, I could do nothing else, but crash with exhaustion and excrutiating pain, in which I had all day, but had to put a smile on my face so noone at work would ask me what was wrong. Anyhow, after my surgery in July, my RA seemed like it was getting a little better, but instead, it has been progressively getting worse, it seems. I got laid off in September and am still out of work. Although, because of this pain I find that I don't know how I can work. The pain has gotten to where I have it all day every day. Even though my mobility has somewhat improved because of the meds, I still find that nothing relieves the chronic pain I have. I am here in the hopes to find others who might be going through the same and to find comfort.
