I fell over! I'm 38 and I fell over! Not that this is a first recently but still come on give a girl a rest,
Between the dog and daughter hogging the quilt I've had a rather cold night so I got up to retrieve a dressing gown and forgot I have a dead foot and fell over so not only am I cold I'm sore too.
38 and falling over it is frustrating me epically. Stupid body stupid RA stupid stupid stupid drugs. Rant over xxx
Hi Make your self a cuppa and get warm there is nothing worse that being cold xxgin
Cuppa in hand gins 
I hate being cold.our heating packed up at the end of last winter. My son is a plumber & I've been hearing ' I'll do it for you next week mum' for the last four months! Hope you didn't hurt yourself. X
They say god looks after drunks and small children (when they fall). Obviously it doesn't apply to people with RA. It happened to me a while ago at work. It's not just the injury it's the bloody embarrassment! I still forget I can't move and turn as fast as I used to when I was playing football, and I'm 59! So take it easy and go steady
Dtech. Your so right it's the embarrassment factor. I'm a nurse and my first fall was a month ago at work. A patient asked if I was ok I cried not because I was hurt because I was supposed to be looking after that patient not vice versa. RA has a lot to answer for.
Caza sorry just saw your reply. How cold you must be my days bless you. Xxxx
Thanks xxx
You will be fine at least no one saw you fall this time unlike my fall in august,remember. I am still on the look out for that stick for you.xxx
Sylvi. I've just looked at one in divvies 28 pounds!!!!!!! I've not brought one. eBay here I come.
But I only look 29 unlike some I could mention. Lol
Well fall count now x4 today. Stumbles x lost count. So I'm off to my bed and hoping tomorrow is a better day. Thanks to Silvia I now have a walking stick for by my bed so hoping I won't tumble in the morning xxx
Ah the fall in the middle of the night. A few years ago it was due to too much gin...now its RA!! At only 42 I can sympathise with your embarrassment! Someone recommended an electric blanket-I scoffed until I tried it! I put it down the end of my bed (as I'm not actually cold myself) where my feet are, its brilliant at relaxing my legs at night too. I also use a black walking stick (well, normally I do, at the moment I am actually on crutches but thats a different story) from boots which I throw in the car for work, if I am have an 'unsteady' day I tend to use it when moving around. I didnt like to a first but it did improve my confidence and made me move a little slower, which is probably what I actually needed to do on these days! Thats the difficulty with RA as its often invisible to work colleagues.
Good luck
Kyla
I may just have to invest in an electric blanket they sound brill.
I am currently only safe mobilising with crutches when out and about your right it does help slow you down which is good for me at the min.
Why do I do this??
Methatrexate 
Light headed and dizzy, on Enbrel, naproxen and MXT?
Methotrexate and sinus/nasal issues
