What would you do?

I did not pick up my tramadol because the pharmacy was not open before work and I had my blood test during lunch. So I am picking it up on my way home.

I could not bear to go back up to 6 mgs of prednisone so I took 5.

Here I sit- opening and closing my hands painlessly. Rotating my wrists almost painlessly. Curling and uncurling my toes painlessly. Rolling my ankles and shoulders- no pain!

Of course we all know how RA can change hr. to hr. but I'm thinking if I feel good all evening I'm going to skip starting the tramadol.

Would you?

Could it be you feel better because you've been up and moving around? I think if it was me, I'd go ahead an pick up the tramadol on the way home from work. Then, if you start to feel bad this evening, you can start them right away.please disregard- I can't even tell you how quick I went back to feeling as I had. I might have been imagining things.
I'm home- I took my tramadol.
Poor girl! I hope you feel better soon.You weren't imagining anything. My RA changes like that too. The other day, I woke up feeling on top of the world. Within hours I was feeling so tired I couldn't keep my head up. RA really does stink.

hope the tramadol helps you out.

Much hugs to you.

I hope the Tramadol works for you. One does nothing for me, and two makes me barf! Good times! Layeah... tricky little "fooler" our RA friend ..... ugh.

When I was on mega antibiotics. I thought it was helping me... only to find that it did not. :(

adding....... I wouldnt take the tramadol...... but that's me.

you know how frightened you are of the biologics and needles..??? That's how afraid I am of narcotics...... I swear

Needles are bad... ummmmmk?I took a tramadol with dinner. I feel sleepy but I usually do after dinner. I can't say that I have pain relief. I have to read the bottle and see if I take another one tonight or wait until morning.
I was so excited earlier when I noticed that I did not have pain when I was moving my hands etc. that I posted right away- then I felt like a fool.
I thought you all would think I was the next nut on the board but you have all been so nice.- but I guess you've had the same thing happen to you so you understand. No wonder non-RA people don't understand us....
Yep... my hubby still does not get it.

But this week... I have been on the crappy side. And today is the worst.

I guess I will not ever try new pain meds when I already know what I was taking works LOL!

My knees feel like they are on fire! Now... they did not feel like that when I made that post about how I felt today.

It all changes with time and when you take your meds. Like for me... I am good to go 4 hours after I take my pred dose, and it will last maybe until evening time, then I start going downhill.

Just tells me that the Remicade is wearing off already... which I already knew.

I hope you feel better tomorrow.

Much hugs to you.
oh my friend... I hope it brings you peace........ I hope you feel better too Joonie! How many weeks do you have left before your Remicade? beginning of march some time. Maybe I can talk RD into moving it up a couple of weeks LOL! Fat chance. But I will ask her.

I hope the tramadol helps you. You sound so misrable.
Here's to all of us feeling better tomorrow! Good night all- pleasant dreams!
