My other half is used to me grimacing and moaning as we go about, having been diagnosed with RA over a year ago. However, we have been on holiday and things have been pretty good, coping with walks and generally feeling ok. Until yesterday, when a stripy little b@gger stung me on the top of my foot, and now here I am, leg on a footstool, throbbing pain, unable to fit a shoe on over the swelling and thinking nothing really changes does it?! Other half is back on nursing duties. Good job we both have a sense of humour!
Ho hum! Hope you all have a good day, and watch out for evil wasps!

Pleased to hear you've been feeling good but wasps stings - not good! Do apply tea tree oil if you have some & ask your GP for an anti histamine cream or tablets if it's excessively swollen.
I got stung on my hand helping a bee the other week, that's gratitude for you lol!
Hi! Ouch, Bee stings are supposed to be the worst! What an ungrateful little so and so. I would have an extra spoonful of honey to show them who is in charge....
I was a bit fortunate actually as it got me on a seg at the base of my middle finger so it wasn't too painful. That or I'm just numb! Love your idea having more honey to get my own back though!
Hope you're foot is at least a little less swollen today.
