MTX week 1 over and next dose

13 Replies

Fairly quiet week for me on here, as my body is being handed back to me on a plate each afternoon at work. So so tired but been strict about going into work even though by 3pm my body shuts down. However I've been good at coming home so doing about 6hr days. Day1 I got into work thinking positive thoughts and at 4pm I went white apparently and luckily hubby was working there so was able to drive me home. Day 2 & 3 at home and slept and then weekend I was working but 6.5hrs was enough.

Taking week 2 lot tonight and 2 days off and got positive mindset for a walk and fresh air tomorrow and light housework........

Best thing this week is seeing Ruth12345 photo after reading her life blog last week just a joy to see a cute bundle give Grandma so pleasure and joy.

I am under a lot of pressure at work over the next month so I am hoping once I get this all sorted I can take a back seat for Dec & Jan whilst I get MTX and me to become friends . Thank you for the kind words,

I keep telling my RA side that it has 2 days of the week and life/work gets 5 for some reason it is not having this. Always wanted a 3 day work week did not realise RA was the way to go!

Maybe the way to go for now then review when meds start working. It might speed things up if you could rest more. Could you get a sick note for a couple of weeks? RA loves stress it feeds of it.

I wish but I decided to do a new venture for the centre and it has gone live and fully booked and guess who knows every part of it and every detail.

Just need to do first 3 live sessions and hoping I can hand over the reins as its an important money stream for our centre if I can get it right.~Strong sense of humour in place at work and I am learning the right shoulder lean, for delegation this past week!

Well if you still feel like this in a couple of weeks please take time out. I didn’t and I caused more problems and made things worse hate that to happen to you.

Hi J1707.... That's what's happened to me, I kept pushing my body to it's very limits, but am now paying the price... There's no getting away with it with RA...

I will listen to your advice and I am good on my days off by resting and doing something good ie breath in fresh air!
