duh! Why couldn't I tell I was in a flare?? | Arthritis Information

 

hi all, I've been in such incredible pain this wk , actually over 2 wks now.. I went to my Rhem and i just forget .. yes i know i need to write it down.. forgot that too.. gawd

  Lets see, I do have fibro and read the post, definately fibro fog!!

I felt really validated, bc my Rhem said i was extremely inflamed. ( i have fat fingers, naturally , lol)

 

I even had them wheelchair me, to the drs office and back.. bc i've had it!!

  How after 4 yrs, can I not tell when I'm in a Major Flare?? Duh!!

The pain is soo constant, i just can't tell anymore..

  He's putting me on Enbrel (so far Humira, Rituxan, have failed).. Taking me off Mtx (liver levels high)..

Upping my OPANA dose, i swear this is goood stuff

(I'd be on my knees and needing morphine, if I didn't take this.. )

and giving me oxycotin, instead of Vicodin..

 ...

I also just realized, i think RA is soo much worse then being bipolar..

This is the most sucky disease.. fatigue, pain..

ok now i've **itched..

....

good news.. i have a new provider!!! Yay, on time.. and she loves roadtrips and has said, if I fly her back, she'll do the driving and take me out to NC!!!

The Divine is in action!!

 

This is the worst time, for me to be soo sick and I guess someone was right, i've been stressed, how can i not, w/ all the stuff i have yet to do.. but things are starting to look up.. so i'm very grateful, for a good provider/ caregiver!

So anyone else have trouble telling when you're in a flare?? there must be a checklist somewhere!! lol

bc i have no memory!!OK I am fairly new to RA, almost 1 year. I find that writing things down helps me alot. I wouldn't remember to tell RD on visits if I didn't  Anyways I  am just learning to understand and know that it is a flare. I don't recall any flares lasting me 2 weeks though.  I definately agree that a checklist, if one exists would be so helpful.
