I wanted to find out if anybody else's emothions run wild with the RA. Last night i went to get icecream and when i got home i ended up crying because the icecream that he gave me wasnt the right kind. My husband just kept telling me thats its only icecream, like i didnt know that already. I just couldnt help myself.. does anyone else have this problem?

Shannon...I don't know what pain meds you're on but they can make your moods very eratic....Percocet makes me mean as a snake
Hope this helps - Lulu Shannon, I have major mood swings. I attribute it to prednisone and being depressed over having this damn disease. It seems quite natural to be emotional, it sucks having ra.
I'd chalk it up to that. I know exactly how you feel, my husband says he feels like he's walking on eggshells around me. It is somewhat better since I have been on the zoloft, but I do still tend to cry over trivial things. hang in there Linda Shannon, that is one side affect I haven't had; however, when my thyroid was off, I would cry at the stupidist things (uncontrollably). If it isn't your meds, may be they can check your thyroid. It is very common for women to have thyroid problems. Lucky, aren't we! Take care and I hope you feel better soon! GOOD LUCK DEAR!!!~
(MOOD SWINGS) LOL KAREN. GOOD TIMING. FRIEND GAVE ME PLATE OF SHRIMP JUST NOW AND I COULD NOT PEEL THEM. DARN HANDS. STARTED TO WEEP AND THEN WEEP CUZ ANGRY AT MYSELF FOR WEEPING. I HATE WHAT RA DID TO MY HANDS MORE THAN ANYTHING. I KNOW, SHOULD BE GRATEFUL TO HAVE HANDS. OK. BETTER NOW. I whine & cry alot. I think it is feeling pity for myself. I also think it has something to do with my hormones still being out-a-whack after having Andrew. I am not as bad as I was a couple of months ago, but I still get whiney. I get easily frustrated about not being able to do things that a "normal" person should be able to and I once was able to do. When I get frustrated I usually end up salking and mooping around because I realize I do need someone to help me and I HATE depending on hubby to do things for me. I want to do things MYSELF!!!!!! When you feel bad all the time you can't help to break down from to time even over ice cream.A good cry never hurt anyone.
Sheila AND THE ROOTBEER FLOAT W/ROCKY ROAD ICE-CREAM JUST NOW, HELPED TOO.
One day he will have a computer mouse protruding from his forehead...
If you're not on any antidepressants with your other meds you might
want on to ask your RD about adding it to your regiment because as was
said before because of the disease and the meds it can definately mess
with your psychie. Hope you feel better.
Hugs,
Mina
