Feeling weak

[Crazyjo]

Does anyone find when they are having a bad flare that they feel generally weak. I woke up this morning feeling weak all over am normally tired but don't think I have felt weak like this before

Weak , tired, exhausted, can't pull my legs over the edge of the bed.

However is it worth checking you are not coming down with something? RA and for example flu can feel the same?

A day closer now my love to your treatments. Be kind to yourself xx

[Crazyjo in reply to allanah]

Hope I not coming down with something as won't be allowed infusion weds if i am x

[allanah]

I hope it's just the RA !! Cos u need that treatment xx

[Crazyjo in reply to allanah]

Yes definatly need it. Keeping positive it will make all the difference by this time next week x

[allanah in reply to Crazyjo]

Now there's the Jo we know coming back, ... Maybe !!

[allanah in reply to allanah]

Look at it this way, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday ...appointment !

[Crazyjo in reply to allanah]

Yep soon be here now. Shame it's a late afternoon app as want to ask to see dr whilst I am there so hoping his clinic not finished by then

[allanah]

When u arrive tell the receptionist immediately, u need to see doctor

[Crazyjo in reply to allanah]

Have to go straight to the day care room so will tell the nurse as soon as I arrive

[allanah in reply to Crazyjo]

Good, explain immediately how hard it has been forcefully. Tell her you cannot manage and wait on treatment working that you would like a steroid jab xx

Yes agree with allanah, I had a steroid on Tuesday while I am waiting for knee injections I feel much better these last few days it wont last long but I feel a bit free and its great even for a short time I am making the most of it definitely ask.xxx

[Crazyjo in reply to allanah]

Last time had steroid injection didn't do anything for me so don't know if they will. I need to speak to then about my methotrexate as keep getting mouth ulcers and know that can cause it

Hi Crazyjo, some days when I wake up I feel like I have done ten rounds with Mike Tyson lol I feel like I am bruised and battered all over, and not sure about anyone else but I get a groggy feeling as if I am hung over sometimes ..... if only lol I am allergic to alcohol sadly. I say to my husband in the morning have you been getting your own back on me in the night lmao. xxxx

[Crazyjo in reply to Bazzypants]

That's not good, bless your poor husband lol x

[allanah in reply to Bazzypants]

Yours is lucky ! Mine lives with wife who kicks him out of the bed into the spare room and mood swing witchy woman ! Who is 4 stone heavier !! Xx

Hello

Yes I get the same feelings, they are part of suffering RA, weakness causes me to have to just sit somedays and when out I just cannot walk and have to sit down,sometimes I carry a walking stick seat so that when out I can just sit down as Hazel does her shopping.

Please do not worry I think most on this site would verify all of that

me too , overdid it a bit in the sunshine ( not got the hang of the pacing yourself thing yet ! ) and struggled to get upstairs later , not pain , just felt weak and feeble.

Since I have had RA I'm OK some of the time but once I get tired I hits me like a sledgehammer, it will come on so suddenly I have a struggle to get back to my car, I feel as if I have walked 20 miles, This is not all of the time but I get no warning. Just got to hope that things get better but at 80 years old its got to improve soon or It will be too late for me
