sleepless in AZ | Arthritis Information

Just can't sleep. I am still getting the hang of this RA and adjusting trying to adjust my  life accordingly. I don't like it one bit. I work a full day come  home so pooped out and sleep for a few hours and then now  I wake up cause everything is achey. Another thing that's bothering me is the arm where they gave me  my pnuemonia vaccine yesterday. Did not hurt when the nurse gave it to me but boy my arm has sure been sore today. Can't even lay on that side.
Another thing that is probably keeping me up and worried is the fact that I am starting my new meds on Fri. I am trying to not think about all the possible side affects. I know that they have worked well for many of you all. I hope for the same results.

Sorry to whine but it does give some measure of relief just to voice my frustrations. I am so glad we have this forum where we can connect with each other to share happinesses, our frustrations and just vent when we need too.

hi, I'm wide awake too, except I made the mistake of sleeping until noon today.  I guess I must have needed it, but I could use a few zzzzzs right now. Try not to worry yourself over these meds. Make a list of all the questions you have including what to do/who to call over the weekend if you have any side effects, and take them with you to your appt.

 
Good luck, I'll be rootin' for you!
 
Now go nity nite

Hey mom2three...hang in there.

What meds are you starting Friday? And is there a reason you needed a pneumonia vaccine?My meds are listed below and I have to say that apart from the last few days with my hands/wrists feeling very odd, I have been pretty much painfree since a couple of weeks after diagnosis. As much as I love this forum for all the info, Im not too sure I WANT all the info!!

You are NOT whining at all, just being totally human given what has been thrown at you. Keep on sharing with us and we will all help to lighten your load.
 
Hugs....Lyn  Oh my, Mom, is it possible to take a half day or personal day? I hate to see you having to drive yourself and work all day on no sleep, though we all have done it. Resist the urge for a lengthy nap after work unless you intend to stay there all night, which you will probably need.
Hang in there sweetieno sleep!!!  that's horrible.. I am so sorry.
 
I had difficulty sleeping last night, but still managed 6 hours.. not nearly what I seem to need - 9 hours!
 
but NO sleep..
 
Please take half a personal or something... you must be wiped.
 
 
Well, I made it to work. I have decided to stay and do as much as I can. For as long as I can, which may not be all day. Unfortunately my boss isn't as understanfing as I would like and even though I have personal time but it needs to be asked for in advance. Way in advance.   

Have good day everyoe

Mom2good day to you!!
 
hope you perk up and feel better.. to sleep great tonight!!
 
that's my plan
