Wide awake club is open again...........

[sylvi]

Morning all, i am wondering which hurts the most my fingers or my heels,if anyone has an answer please put it on a postcard!!!!

Serious now i am having a couple of days where i am not sure if i have a virus or not, i am having trouble breathing but not sure if it is my asthma or not. What to do,if i go to the drs they will only tell me its a virus,so what do i do!!!!

I thought we were going to have some lovely weather coming, well so far i haven't seen any of it anywhere. It has been dull damp and looks like rain all the time.

I hope that you are all asleep and you stay that way until morning....xxx

Hello Sylvi

I am also wide awake! Sorry to hear you're having a tough time. If you are finding it really hard to breathe and it isn't getting better you could go to your nearest urgent care centre. You could go to the doctor tomorrow, if you've been having trouble breathing for a few days in a row they shouldn't just say it's a virus but maybe do more tests. I find that when there is bad air quality it affects my breathing. The nurse gave me an inhaler but my peak flow is not as low as it was. I find when I lie down it gets hard to breathe so am having to use 3 pillows.

I agree about the sun - where is it?! - I am seriously thinking of going away for a few days to help my joints.

Take care and hope you manage to get some sleep soon

Hi Sylvi, I was up as well, but read a bit and thankfully got off again in the wee hours. That breathing is worrying, have you rang the doctor this morning. Hope you feel a bit better.

I know summer, i am going to ring the drs as soon as i have had a cup of tea. I promise.xxx

Dear Sylvie, just you remember my experience with shortness of breathe after taking MTX for a couple of months!

I know you've been taking MTX for ages but you've started afresh recently, so maybe you could be having a reaction.

Please see the doctor.

Love

Am going to have a cup of tea and then i am going to ring drs. Went to asda with hubby and ended up sitting in coffee shop drinking tea and waiting for them to come and get me. I am wary of going to the drs as all they tell me is it is ra,so i don'tbother going as often now because i think it is a waste of time.xxx

[sylvi]

I have an appointment tomorrow morning at 8.20am. The surgery is shut this afternoon for a study time. So i will have to be up with the birds tomorrow morning if i can find my get up and go.xxx
