For SPITE! | Arthritis Information

You know what I feel like doing tonight? I feel like wriggling and squirming all night for spite so that this damn RA monster doesn't get any chance to settle into my joints this evening - you know what, If you never keep still, and you dont go to sleep then you can't get morning stiffness - maybe if I keep it up long enough it'll get fed up and bog off.
PS I cannot believe I get morning stiffness in my JAW

I feel ya!!!

I have been getting to work later and later each morning because its takes so long for my body to "warm up".

Lets have a wiggle party to night and NOT invite RA!!!

Jaw pain is the worst Julie. I get it from TMJ

Sleep is so precious, I would just lay in bed longer to deal with the morning stiffness.

You know only sheep follow each other off the edge - so don't follow me Julie.

You just might end up feeling worse the next morning Julie.

My advise? Take a tylenol pm....or two, get a good nights rest. Lay in bed longer in the morning. Stretch and try to loosen up a little before you get out of bed.

Always wake up long before you have to be somewhere so you can take a LONG HOT shower...and slowly get ready. Try not to rush...you'll manage much better this way.

People with RA need a good night's sleep. Last night I didn't sleep at all and I feel like doggy doo. My husband has a cold and has coughed all night long, he went to sleep on the couch so as not to keep me awake. My son works the night shift at Target and came in at 5am., the dogs were barking and yadda yadda...I tried to go back to bed and sleep but can't
Days like this I hate....not a good idea Julie

Murph be careful. That's how I ended up so sick last time....sleeping with a sick husband!

Not that I'd change anything. I can't sleep good without my "Lovie" in bed...but I thought I'd throw that out there.

I'm hoping I won't get sick again for a long time....last month was the longest month I can remember. I don't want to go through that again.

He's been sick for a week or so..he's coughed so hard he pulled something in his back. I've been fighting something for awhile...thought it was sinuses. What I really need is sleep..I already have that run down feeling
So you are doing better now Lovie? Are you back on Humira?

I was so tired last night that I went to bed at 8:00 pm. Now today I am kind of sluggish. Probably from getting to much sleep. Can't win!

I did the exact same thing to my back coughing so much too...it was horrible. Everytime I coughed I thought I was going to scream!!!

Yes; I am feeling much better. I restarted MTX & Humira on Saturday and not a minute too soon!!

When your on MTX & Humira they say it's real easy to pick up stuff...and real hard to get rid of it. Keep an eye on your symptoms. The first time I went to the doctor they gave me a script and said yes; it was the first signs of some sort of infection. My RD asked me to get off my meds. Then after I finished my antibiotic I restarted my meds....two weeks later I was twice as sick. This time bronchitis and a sinus infection. It took me a total of three antibiotic and a round of predisone to finally get through it. Worst part of it all was not being about to take my meds.

It's a chance we take on these biologics....one I'm willing to risk though. Well worth the risk.

I hate when my husband gets sick...he's such a whiner! Geez I don't want to get what he has! I just went to the store and bought some vitamin c tabs and cough drops. I don't know what cold meds I can take with humira, so I'm taking claritin cuz they already know that I've taken that. If I wasn't on this study I'd be hitting the nyquil If I get worse, I'm gonna call my RD for another ZPack.

I laughed out loud at that falling out of bed comment. (Sure it wasn't nearly that funny....but it makes a good story)
