Have not had a flare for a long time ..... woke this morning with pain in my jaw shoulder ribs knee and ankle RA hokeycokey again!
I am sure there is a link between emotion and RA. Had to put my dog to sleep at the weekend after 14 years. Woke up sad on Sunday and achy since.
I would love to know if any scientific brains have worked out that RA sufferers get worse in times of sadness following some emotional trauma like bereavement/divorce/ unemployment or just pets?
I think this disease sends sadness enemies round our bloodstream and that kicks it off again. Well not for me!
Going to sit sadly for one more day drinking tea, reading the new Val Macdermid 1997 and looking at photos of my dog. Then move over RA sounds like I have another Covid jab to put in my diary.
Thank you good people for reading my post. X
Oh so sorry to hear your sad news - it's awful when we lose a much-loved pet 😢14 years is a good innings but it doesn't feel like that when they go. Give yourself time to grieve and then hopefully the good memories will take over. 💐
Thank you for your kind comments. My sister who has never owned a pet said no worries you get get another! No idea!
Not the most sympathetic response!We have been through the process several times and it's always been hard. When the time is right, getting another one can be wonderful but you need to wait until you're ready.
