Phoo2, I'm sorry for your pain. I feel your pain..I don't understand this,RA nothing touches it . One day I'll be ok but then in so much pain for 3. If I dare try to enjoy anything I suffer after..it's so hard to exercise , grocery shopping. The things I liked doing make me cry. Good luck to us all. I'm pretty tired of being tired

[Izzybellamaree]

It has been for me too! The extreme cold cali weather im not use to is really doing a number on me and my joints

[Cynthialcj in reply to Izzybellamaree]

My sisters want me to move to florida , but I read the humidity is just as bad as the cold. Izzy what do you think. I read Arizona , is cali like the dry heat in Arizona

[Izzybellamaree in reply to Cynthialcj]

Cali can get hot but not like arizona and its not like arizona however arizona is a lot more financially resonable to live at then here. Buying a house and rent can be ridiculous compared to arizona. I cant wait for the summer so i can start to feel better. Good luck with your decision and keep me up to date.

[Cynthialcj in reply to Izzybellamaree]

Oh I am stuck in the seasons in erie pa. For now I help my dad . He refuses to move even to florida. My gf is single like me and offered to move me in in Arizona. She has a in ground pool. Wish dad would go..she offered him a room to. But I no this is his home, but idk how long I can handle it. I'm new to my ra and just starting enbrel. I'm feeling better 8 weeks in. But last week I was so sick and in pain for 6 days. Walking and trying to get up . Is that a,flare up you think. I can't figure out if it's my fibermyalgia or ra. I ask the doctor the 3rd. I hope she can help. It's awful feeling ok one day than down 6. It's often , to often to bare

[Suki1088]

[popsmith1874]

Here's hoping tomorrow is easier and more pain free..

[helenlw7]

I don't understand this RA pain either. It seems to be different to any other type of pain. For me I'm on the max dose of dihydracodeine. I can't tolerate tramadol and my gp is reluctant to prescribe diazepam. The pain killer dulls the pain, but the only time I'm pain free is for a coupleof hours in bed after I've taken amitrypteline!

[Amy_Lee in reply to helenlw7]

So sorry to know that too. This is a very painful disease that we have to deal with. You need to find the right DMARDs that you can tolerate to work for you, it is difficult apparently. I am lucky that I am okay with mtx and I hope I continue to be okay with it and can slowly reduce the intake really.

[helenlw7 in reply to Amy_Lee]

I've had RA for 13 years and have been through lots of meds. I'm on mtx and Enbrel and I guess I'm as good as I'm going to get!

[Rednoseday_01]

Yes phoo2 get it all out ....This place is my saviour as no one understands or even bothered to understand that's the worse bit ....hope tomorrow is a better day for you

[Carol41]

Hi Phoo2 sometimes it helps to just let it out as you say. Wishing you well Carol xxx

[Amy_Lee]

Dear Phoo,

I am very sorry to know that you are in great pain. I hope it will be better for you the next day. My big hug to you...

[Nickijk73]

Hey - snap. Here's to tomorrow/today being a better day all around x

Pooh2, you're not shouting loud enough 😉 Blummin painful in this cold weather, no matter how many layers you put on, & end up & feel like the Michelin Man, you still feel cold! I'd prefer to hibernate if I could.....

[Phoo2]
