Out of sorts today | Arthritis Information

 

I guess I have been worse. The pain is better than it had been but the fatgue monster has bitten me. I slept till 2:30 today. I opened my eyes a few times and thought I have nothing that requires me to get out of bed and rolled over and went back to sleep. I did very little but it took great self encouragement to cook for myself and to do the few dishes that followed. My temperature is fluctuating very drastically. I am freezing one moment and sweating the next. I am still tired. I have been down to 5mg of pred for two days now. I wish there was a happy medium. Somewhere from no sleep to to much sleep.

Almost sounds to me like you're coming down with the flu bug...I just got over it and it sucks! I hope you feel better tomorrow Milly!

Sorry you are having such a difficult time. Take care and feel better soonest. Well I am thinking bladder infection or appendix. Of course I only noticed it about three hours ago. I was screamming. Thought I might pass out from the pain. I will go see about it tomorrow. My lower abdomen is pretty hard still. I took some anti gas about three hours ago and my pain pill. Actually I had just swallowed the anti gas when it hit. Like intuition I thought. I sometimes get bad cramping when I get a bladder infection. My bowel sounds are not bad really. It does not seem to be my gut but the cramping is still there and it isn't getting any better really. If it was gas I think the medicine would have helped? So it is a bit late but I will go to the eroom tomorrow. I have not been to an Eroom at all this year. Have not been to a hospital scince January for sinus surgery. But I will go tomorrow even if I am tired. Oh wow- let us know how you are today! Hope you are better!3222333333333333333333333333310 (numbers are a message from my cat who just stepped on the keyboard) kitty wishes!!  LOL

I hope that you're feeling better, milly!!  take care and sleep if you want to.

The appendix is a nasty organ..mine ruptured on me and I thought it was the flu.... take care!!
Milly, how are you this morning? I am so very sorry you are being bombarded first with a lack of diagnosis and adequate treatment and now such horrible pain. I send my best wishes for a rapid improvement. Hope you feel better soon, Milly!Oh i will be alright. Probably not my appendix. I am sure it is a bladder infection. I had cramping for three months with fatigue before I had my positive RF and anti-ccp done. Yes three months is along time. I was really tired. I was even dizzy then. at least that went away. My GP said bladder infections caused that. He was right on the money. I started crying. Well I thought I did not know a bladder infection could cause all of that. This was back when I had only a fibro dx. I spent all of my time on the net trying to find out what was wrong with me. I thought I had MS. Well my cousin does and I spent a great deal of time hanging on to the wall waiting for the world to stop spinning around me. Turned out my hands started swelling shortly after  I had recovered from the bladder infection. I tend to get them when I am flaring. Or rather I just tend to get them. Anyway when you have had something for three months you tend to remember what it felt like. It is more like really bad menstal cramping. It is the outer muscle wall. So really I was crying because so much more was going on. Well I know the cramping will continue until I see a doctor so I will try to go today. Just woke up it was storming pretty good outside. I got the old air mattress out last night. Felt like I was sleeping on a cloud. My hips when they bother me do not like a firm mattress. I sometimes get kidney infections when my hips bother me so I will stay on top of this. Waiting for the pred and the caffine to kick in. I know caffine is bad for bladder infections but I have to get awake some how. I will keep you posted. Local hospital is closed for renovations. Dad will pick me up tomorrow. Going to dads for a visit. LOL will not have internet. Just the company of a few seniel old men. Sounds like fun. Well I am lonely and sweating bullets. Sometimes a girl needs her daddy. I am getting that vasculitise splintering on my cuticles guess that is what it is. Red puffy inflamed cuticles I do that sometimes. Anyway the net said RA vasculitis splintering had a picture looks the same. So my dad lives near my GP. Maybe I do have the flu. Some flare stuff. Anyway dad insist on a visit scince I am blue in spirit. I am just a regular cry baby these days. Maybe the pred.Hang in there Milly! I hope the visit with you Dad is just what you need to lift your spirits. Feel better soon my friend!Milly,   Hello everyone...anyone remember Monana???I miss you Mona. Where have you been. Enjoy your time with your Dad. The company of parents is a healing balm that is often overlooked.

Now, I know that not all parent's provide a healing and balmy kinda environment, but for those have access to their parents in real-time and in healthy situations the contact can be as beneficial as a vacation.
How's everything now Milly? Nothing like a dad to make you feel better- enjoy!
