I am not on any meds at the moment, and its not good when I am sneezing praying I might have a cold, I have sneezed more than once today and I have had the best day in ages, I feel almost normal
to me a cold =normal, as other than the ill you feel when you have flare, I don't get ill anymore no colds nothing and can't remember the last time I was with a cold
everything is zapped before it starts
I sometimes wonder on my good days my immune system is busy with something else rather than attacking me?
wouldn't it be good if they gave you something that kept your immune system busy on something else
and its not good when your having such a good day, you don't want it to end to wake up the next day to find you feel a 100 years old again
Oh Veronica, isn’t it so ridiculous I can go to bed feeling reasonably well and active thinking to myself oh I’ll do this,this and this tomorrow, wake up in agony feeling like the duvet is a great big heavy boulder not being able to lift it off me, almost crawling to the toilet and having difficulty just pulling the chain 🤷♀️ I offered to grate some cheese the other day, I couldn’t do it! All these things and more I use to take for granted, just want to be me again, rant over sorry 🤗 I’m really considering the CBD oil though 😁x
I am the same, I want to sleep in in the morning, but I get out of bed because the longer I am in it I know the worse I will feel.
I can't even lift a kettle up in the morning
but I have learnt to open a hot water bottle with a screw driver, and tighten it up with one :O)) yeah
I try to do the thing I know I will struggle with in the mornings in the evenings, sometimes its evenings too but a lot less than mornings,its the stiffness that adds in the mornings.
I was saying to hubby yesterday, its a bit like cinderrella ( please excuse spelling)
when the clock strikes 12 am and she turns back to rags
Yeeees definitely it’s weird really 😱 same with kettle 🤦♀️it’s the silliest of things you wouldn’t think twice about doing before but now, if I go anywhere I check out all the chairs to get the highest one so I can get up off it, good tip with the screwdriver thanks 🤗x
if I get anymore I will share and you me please, someone on here said put one of those chip baskets in saucepans for veg, so instead of lifting heavy saucepan, you just pull up the basket when cooked, I keep forgetting to do that, my wrist bands help a lot, they give my arms more strengh
Yes definitely will share with you , still learning at the mo 🤗x
me too
So confusing 🤦♀️🤦♀️x
Janny55 your description of life with RA is spot on, feeling like wonder woman for a day and making plans for tomorrow only to wake up..... and you said it so well 👏👏👏👏 oh yes the feather doona does indeed feel like a boulder somedays. But we grin and bear it, 😬 rant and rave about it, try to ignore it, cry about it 😢 and also try to have a laugh about it.🤣 Thanks for that, laughter really is the best medicine some days 🌼
Ha ha ha ahhh daisychain your right, what’s that song I get knocked out but I get up again 🤣🤣 glad I put a smile on your face 😁 ps my fav song at the moment is the trolls where princess poppy sings get back up again 🤣🤣yes I’m 55 going on 4 in my mind anyway the body has other ideas 😁🤗xx
Go the CBD oil and whatever helps wherever it helps I say. I’ve tried CBD and the other oil and it really stops the pain in the day but at night it spins my head out, feel every ache and pain and I can’t sleep. Catch 22 🤔. Ive got 2 knee replacements and an ankle replacement to have, starting in about 2 weeks, I find out next week. Yay, can’t wait, another year of surprises coming up. Yes, 🎵 🎵 I get knocked down but I get up again ain’t nothing gonna keep me down 💪
Ha ha ha you go girl daisy 👏good luck with all the replacements, let us know how you get on 🤗x oh yeah its down 🤣 I put knocked out 🤣🤣🤣xx
