[Ms-D in reply to allanah]

Sorry to hear ur in pain. Saw consultant and not switching biologics yet but waiting to see if steroid injection kicks in. Tested for menopause and thyroid too. Swelling had gone down so just my luck arghhh. Hope you feel better soon x

[allanah in reply to Ms-D]

I have no idea why that happens but it does , photos are so handy ( or footy in your case!).

[Ms-D in reply to allanah]

Lol made me smile. The pain of steroid is kicking in so im taking this as a good excuse to be spoilt xxx

[bubblyalex in reply to allanah]

😞 sorry to read that allanah. I hope it will ease rapidly

[allanah in reply to bubblyalex]

Talking to rheumy at 3, hope I can get a steroid with my infusion monday

[bubblyalex in reply to allanah]

Let’s hope so. Roll on 3pm 😊

[Ms-D in reply to allanah]

How did it go with rhuemy?

[allanah in reply to Ms-D]

Not called yet .......you?

[Ms-D in reply to allanah]

Steroid hurts but rheumy told me to taken benepali for few more weeks and if no better then change to a new biologic. No swelling today which sucked but tender joints. Mentioned something about arthritis and also a sensory pain so nerve issue. Just annoyed.

[allanah in reply to Ms-D]

He called 6pm!,said I'm can gave a steroid jab and TCZ monday . Also he considers me very high risk of covid so suggests I continue " shielding" but maybe see 1 or 2 in my garden...... till vaccines !! 😬🥶

[helixhelix]

Hope rheumy is sympathetic as looks painful. Good luck.

[Ms-D in reply to helixhelix]

im so drugged up that i cant even walk. My knees, elbows and hands have joined in too. Been in tears and just feel so helpless and feel im ruining my daughters break by not being able to go out or do much during this pandemic x

[Hidden]

So understand mine have been like this as well as other joints this week. The humidity plays havoc. Is it still humid where you are? Good luck tomorrow x

[Ms-D in reply to Hidden]

down in sunny wembley its very sticky. Promised rain all day but had about 30 mins all day. Cooler than past week but its killing me. I almost fell over getting up from sofa as knees buckled. Get steroid tomoz but hope they sort my biologic out x

[Hidden in reply to Ms-D]

I hope all goes well tomorrow. I couldn’t walk the last few days skin felt like it would split open and no mobility in my ankles. Humidity dropped here over night and I’m so much better can walk only slight swelling after pains . What a difference the weather makes. 🤞🏻for tomorrow x

[Ms-D in reply to Hidden]

Im glad you are feeling better. Hopefully the heatwave has gone for now x

[HappykindaGal in reply to Hidden]

Yes, think it is the humidity. My poor tootsies resemble balloons 🙄🤷🏼‍♀️

[Summerrain14]

I’m so sorry to hear how much pain you are in. I am just the same at the moment. Blaming this humidity. I hope all goes well at your appointment tomorrow and new treatment plan to get the swelling and pain under control. x

[Ms-D in reply to Summerrain14]

Thank you. This heat has been horrible. I am new to this so being hit will feet like a baby elephant was a shock to me. To go with that my knees are pretty sore too. Might get daughter to do a rain dance lol.

[Summerrain14 in reply to Ms-D]

The heat is horrible, it has really impacting on me and my joints too. I am fairly new to RD, been diagnosed for a year and still tweaking meds but appreciate there are people much worse of than me. Bring on the cooler weather. x

[Marionfromhappydays]

Thank goodness you have an appointment tomorrow, looks so painful.

Take care x

[Ms-D in reply to Marionfromhappydays]

Thank you. How are you feeling?

[Marionfromhappydays]

I'm feeling better now I'm not taking sulfasalazine 😁 Just getting my head around having RA , thats a bit harder!

Thanks for asking x

Hope tomorrow brings good news for you

[Ms-D in reply to Marionfromhappydays]

Morning thank you. Glad ur off the sulfasalazine. Good luck with methatrexate. Dont over think too much as being pain free is better than anything else.

[springcross]

Good luck for today's appointment. xx

[Ms-D in reply to springcross]

Thank you. Leaving soon as so many questions to answer at the door before i see my consultant. Its cooler today but my body hasnt yet noticed the drop on temperature lol. Have a great day too xx

[springcross in reply to Ms-D]

👍

[Sheila_G]

This heat is playing havoc with us all I think. My feet are swollen and very sore. Keep them elevated when you can and put something cool on them

[Rheumo]

Hello Ms-D I used to suffer badly with swollen ankles and

Feet, I bought a bed with a remote control that lifts the bottom of the bed and the top, as soon as I get into bed with my swollen feet and ankles I put the bottom of my bed up, within a couple of hours I can feel the relief in my feet when I move them , haven't got that awful tight feeling. We have a double bed, 2 singles, put together , but can work independently, so I don't disturb my husband when I move my side of the

bed. Good luck 🌻

[Ms-D in reply to Rheumo]

Thanks for the reply. Ive got a simba mattress which i bought last year and its amazing. The swellings gone down thanks to cooler weather xx
