Another day of feeling ill and boy am i fed up. I struggled to hoover up upstairs for dh and after i had done it i had to lay on my bed to rest. Hubby came home after picking up our car from the garage £150 for three tyres and then he was going to our daughters to help her decorate and thats when the tears flowed because i can't go up there even if it was only to make the tea because i don't feel well enough. I have no fight left in me after the winter i have had,i don't know what to do to help myself that i am not already doing. Its not only the virus it is my back and joints as well. Aww well i am sure it will all get done in time.xxxx
Something to cheer you all up.Primroses.

Sorry to hear that you are still feeling so low. The miserable cold weather doesn’t help either does it? I expect you are bored too as you I know you should be resting Sylvi and that doesn’t go down well does it - so frustrating for you. I hope that you will feel a little brighter tomorrow. Love the primrose, looking forward to the Spring. Big hugs x
Oh Sylvi how I sympathise. Like you hit with both a flare and a virus. Not able to get out of bed this morning! Waiting for my new biologic to be delivered but guess I won’t be able to start it until virus clears. This disease sucks!!
Sylvi love "hovering upstairs" has probably put you back a week in your recovery....I hope DH had "words" with you?
When you have been as poorly as you have been - you don't bounce back like a fittter person ...you need to gain more strength before you do any housework.
From personal experience I can tell you the carpet will look just the same tomorrow...hoovered on not.....so wasted effort!
Prior to being on RTX ....when I had a flare the carpets didn't get vacuumed for weeks.....& the white kitchen floor looked a lot less white! But I got better quicker not spending energy cleaning.
When your doctor tells you that your fitness levels are on the up...a little gentle dusting may be in order.
I agree with all the others when I say screw the dirty floors! I hate specs on the carpet as much as the next person, but I hate pain worse! My floors are speckled, my dishes in the sink waiting to be washed, and my butt is in bed where it belongs!
I often get the winter blues, although my health issues are nothing like yours. Here’s a bit of a nag - weren’t you supposed to be resting? Hoovering upstairs? ( Mind you I would have done the same. I’ve been up since 4.30 because of joint pain and I’ve cleaned three of my kitchen cupboards!). Sometimes we are our own worst enemies!
That we are darling.When you get up and feel something like you i know i will hoover up for dh not realising your worse than you actually think you are. The rest of the day went downhill from there on in.xxxxx
Can't add anything that all the others haven't said already. Just loads of hugshugshugshugshugshugshugshugshugshugshugshugshugshugshugshugshugshugshugs.
Sorry to hear your so unwell Sylvi, this bloody disease is so up and down, one good day and do too much and your right back down again! Plays havoc with my mental health, dunno about yours but you sound really low. It is soooo frustrating. Take really good care of your little self, try and relax, wish you a few good days to follow this x
God yes it plays hell with my mental health too,i spent yesterday feeling so unwell and crying with it too because i have no fight left in me after all i have had to contend with since August and that is without RA and his friends causing hell with me as well.xxxx
Lovely primroses such a great way to cheer everyone up, yes weather at the moment is playing havoc with all of us RA sufferers just know you’re not alone, I’m unable to do much today after walking to far with my grandchildren and daughter.
We just have to think more about what we have done and not what we can’t I reckon a good time for FaceTime with your daughter, take care and have a good rest today 😊
Have a day of just resting Sylvi. Try not to be downhearted, sometimes all the “rubbish” we have to deal with is overwhelming. Tomorrow is another day and from what I’ve read you are a fighter. If this continues though perhaps a visit to the doctor just to talk things out. Life is difficult and sometimes it affects our mental health. Perhaps a good chat with good friends is a good start. Above all, look after yourself, take it easy and the sun will come back out.
