Got up, knees a bit better I think with the acupuncture.I manged for the first time in a year and a bit to clean the washroom basin cos i could start for a few minute without knees or foot pain!! Its back now but so pleased, maybe its starting to work?
Maybe do the other one tomorrow if i don't collapse with all this exertion lol
Axx
Well done you. Lets hope that it continues. xx
Now, Allanah, You have surely seen from here, the results reported of many of us rushing in to do something and then paying for it with increase pain.
No rushing!! Instead, take the day off and enjoy the reduced pain in the knees, maybe with tea and a good book?!! Lxx
Hiya Loret, I know ...pace yourself!! But it was better than for a long time , has come on again but that was bliss, hope it happens again soon, I hope it is the acupuncture kicking in, you never know and yes i sat and had a nice cup of tea with a smile on my face Thanks, Axx
I really hope it's the acupuncture that's working so well for you - can't cross fingers presently but am delighted that you've had some time off pain at least. Next time perhaps try doing something a little less strenuous than cleaning though! TTx
ha ha but now i think i'll use dla too get a cleaner!! But i used to love cleaning bathrooms, I know that sad but all the lovely cool water on a hot day and the lashings of warm on a cold day and the shiny tiles....brings in the best in a nursy type!!!! lol Thanks and I do hope its the acupuncture giving me relief only drawback they say they dont know how long it lasts but , I got time off today yeah!!
so, after all you've been through, at last you have some relief and you clean your washroom basin!!! 
Delighted for you Allanah, lovely news and hope it is the start of things getting better x
Ye gosh me too and I just couldn't resist telling everyone cos I've done enough moaning when something helps I was so exited!! Axx Thanks
Good news but take it steady x

Take care and hang in there. Paula x
Fed Up! (just a little rant) you don't have to read just makes me feel a little better!
what do you think of this and tell me
Good article on the importance of telling your doctor all that you are taking, not just other medications
Will you tell your Hospital about Healthcare at Home please.
How do you tell the difference between the pain from RA joint damage and the pain from RA being active/having a flare?
