Sick of this crap !

[Cin111]

Its cold outside and it is just doing horrible things to my joints.

I am sooo tired of this RA

Hi vin, I think most of us are feeling pretty down especially this time of year when the " sunshine " has gone and the sky is dribbling on us lol and not forgetting the rotten RA, DAYS LIKE THIS I SUPPOSE WE JUST GOTTA KEEP OUR CHINS UP, it's hard I know but what other choices do we have?.

Try to keep smiling and pretending all is well, and if you want to you can have a groan on here to the rest of us.

Thanks Philip

Ya I guess that is what I am doing I try to keep my chin up but I guess its just one of those days.

I bought one of the best things after someone on here mentioning it. A fleecy heated over blanket! Love it and use it all the time , it's washable too! I git mine on Amazon but there are other versions available Hee Hee

[Cin111 in reply to allanah]

I am going to look for one ... one for home and one for work

[allanah in reply to Cin111]

Hope it helps you like me!

[Philip in reply to allanah]

I'm coming round to test it out lol, is it for snuggling into in the day or for night time?

[allanah in reply to Philip]

Lol have not had an offer like that for a while ! I use it day and night with no duvets at night on as its warm enough! Xx next time your cold in North Yorkshire you know where my blankie is

[Philip in reply to allanah]

Lol sounds good to me lol, only problem is my wife lol.

[allanah in reply to Philip]

Hee Hee it's a double so you will be fine!!!

[allanah in reply to Philip]

Ps people are always after my blankie !

I know how you feel, grey rainy days bring it on for me. Snuggle down, I have Slanket days when things don't seem so good. Try to think of something you can look forward to. Mine's my visit to the Podiatrist tomorrow & the thought that walking won't be so ouchy.

I was going to post something similar. My joints rebel when the cold hits. I feel your pain and wanted to offer sympathy. You are not alone on here, we can be your listening ears and supportive friends.

Sometimes it helps to get things off your chest, especially to people who can empathise.

Take good care and keep warm!

Sadly RA doesn't come with a return label....wish I could send it back too.

I find the cold dry weather much more comfortable than the damp dreary days. At least i can wrap up warmly and be active in the cold.

Hi,

Everyone is so supportive of each other on this site. The fleecy heated blanket sounds wonderful. Might get one and hibernate for the winter. I have felt rough for a while and your Messages to Cin111 have helped me too. The one good thing about this site is you are not alone with this condition, and we know what the dark days really feel like. Hope you feel better soon.

Go and lie in a hot bath with some nice oils - put your electric blanket on HIGH and lie in bed with a cup of tea/coffe/whatever and a good book or take the tv upstairs and watch it in bed whilst you slowly cook in your bed - that's the best I can suggest and its what I do - you could of course try and persuade your nurse that you need a steroid injection !!! Soon be the shortest day and next year is suppose to be the hottest on record - hang in there xxx

[Cin111 in reply to lornaisobel]

It all sounds wonderful ..and I am going to do all of them .. the blankets, the baths .. everything. I do take steroid pills, been trying to wean off of them. I will keep taking them as well . All of you are so great. Honestly the support here is wonderful, and I appreciate all of you. Hoping that all of you have a wonderful pain free Thanksgiving. I am curling up on the couch with my warm blanket watching a comedy show to keep my mind off the pain...

Be safe to all of you who travel this holiday. !!

We're in the UK but I'm sure all who replied will join me in wishing you a comfortable Thanksgiving snuggled under your blanket.
