Knackered

[Crazyjo]

Just had hydrotherapy forgot how knackering it is. Should sleep well tonight. I hope so anyway. It's nice when in water but after not so good!

I used to love the freedom in the water but as soon as you hit the steps ... Bang back to reality lol. Have a good sleep !!

There i was thinking it was in my head!! when i went for the first time, i went to get out and as soon as i got to top step!, i had to hold on for 2mins and stand there as the feeling is like someone has just put 50kg bag on your back,

Yea it's a real shock to the system x

[dillie]

me too…! i just started ! you are so right allanah! my goodness, the steps the steps - i had to spend about 5 minutes recovering in the cubicle last week before i was able to dry myself! legs felt so heavy…. hopefully this week will be better. rest up now, you deserve it!!

[nomoreheels in reply to dillie]

Never thought of this. Always struggled getting out just using to pool for swimming even before diagnosed but you're so right it's as though you're twice as heavy when trying to get out & for a little while afterwards.

Exactly!!!

Hello

I was a very strong swimmer although I had to stop as the water would cause problems with my Psoriasis and my Arthritis became worse etc.

At my old address I had a hydro bathroom with all adaptations. Now I am having a new bathroom fitted at my new address. It is fitted for my condition, both shower and bath. With further adaptations for me to have access to all parts so I cannot wait to be able to manage on my own again when we get all the rails etc fitted.

At this time the tiler is taking an age to complete and is driving us mad as the problems I have prevent me bathing without assistance. Getting exited cannot wait to try the new kit out.

Hope you feel better for it once you're over the shock! Hopefully it tired you out enough for lots of zzzzzzzz's! How's things otherwise Jo? x

[Crazyjo in reply to nomoreheels]

[nomoreheels in reply to Crazyjo]

Oh I'm sorry. Rest up & a maybe you'll relax enough to catch up a bit. x

hello crazy jo, hope you had a good nights sleep and feel better today for having gone to hydro!

[Crazyjo in reply to dillie]

Very achey today so some rest needed I think

[marcus6 in reply to Crazyjo]

I find that's the only down side to having hydrotherapy! is the next day or 2 you feel achey! my next one is Thursday...

[Crazyjo in reply to marcus6]

Yea and not sure it really helps a lot but rheumy wanted me to try again and as always want there help when I need it I do as I am asked lol

[dillie]

i decided yesterday to give up hydro for a month or so….. disappointed but i had to keep cancelling as i was too tired to get there, let alone actually do some hydro work. i find it so difficult to know how to pace myself with RD, i really want to do things but find i am struggling so much, i'm still in my first year so meds not kicked in yet. anyway - i hope you manage to keep it up and get some benefits soon - well done for going crazyjo !

[Crazyjo in reply to dillie]

That's a shame dilie. Hi know what you mean it is a really struggle to get there some days
