FED UP.............

[sylvi]

Got up this morning feeling great in my head if you know what i mean. Now i feel like a wet dishcloth. I have been to bedworth with hubby. Made an appt to see dr on monday and went and got a joint for sunday lunch. Then met hubby at the bank sat in there and did our business. By that time i had had enough. Took some painkillers and had my lunch. Since then i have been sitting in the sun and coming in to cool off and going back out again. Hence why now i feel like a wet discloth. I hate this feeling i really do. I had tears when i got back home as it was as much as i want to do. Now my fingers ache like i don't know what. I am sure someone is going to tell me i've done too much again (and i don't blame any of you if you do) But herein lies the problem how much resting should i do. I spend my day on here as there are a lot of you needing support and it gives me a good feeling when i know i have helped someone,even if its letting them know someone is out there suffering the same as them.

My hubby is sanding the kitchen floor with his new sander he got yesterday and i am sitting here listening to him do it. He works so hard even if he is retired. Lord love him.

PS. here is a photo of the new car. I got this on motorbility and if anyone is interested it is so easy to do, as long as your on the higher rate mobility you will qualify.

Take care each and everyone of you...xxxx

Poor you. Rest up again my friend. Had, like you a good start to the day, but in a normal day of the RA sufferer nothing can Be planned to rid us of this complex disease. We shall rise again tmz and we shall not be beaten.

Like I said before The only way from down is up.

Come on my friend a big hug being sent to you. Gentle but caring.

Your car is lovely Sylvie, poor you feeling ragged. The steroid should kick in soon and maybe you will have fun resting and enjoying the olympics. When i am in a flare i am exhausted from i arise. You also haven't been sleeping greatly so perhaps you have only a wee bit of energy to spare.

I really hope you feel better soon and the good weather continues.

Every time someone is feeling down or has some good news to share you are in there straight away. And you always know what to say. I don't have that knack but I'm sorry to hear that you are having to cope with so much pain recently. Here's hoping you wake up with that great feeling again tomorrow and that it lasts all day.

Hi Sylvie,

Your new car looks great. I hope you feel better tmoro, you seems to have a lot of down days, a circle of pain, I know its crap.

Did you ever think of maybe taking up a completely new interest, something that would take you away from everything Arthritis? Where no one knows you? I hope you are not offended. It has helped me greatly.

Have to go now will PM you later.

xxx Gina.

Thank you girls,it is nice that so many of you care. As you can see i am downstairs and it is only midnight. I did have an hour asleep and as its soo hot i was tossing and turning so in the end i gave up. I can almost quarantee that now i am down here i will sleep.

The ra thing doesn't bother me much as i can get outside and i like to garden,but just laterly that has been out of the question. Having said that i can always supervise can't i, like i did earlier. I have been say that the xmas thats in th efront garden needs to come down,so after tea hubby got the electric saw out and chopped it down. I was sad to see it go. I brought that from littleport long before my mum and dad died,but there was something wrong with it and it was going brown even the new growth. So down it came,while i sat there in my rocker and watched.Deciding what to put there is a poser i will have to think about.

Ladies i hope you all sleep well and thank you all for caring. Sylvi.xx

I really believe the changable weather is behind many of our

problems this year, well to be honest the past few years have

been a nightmare.

I am not a heat lover at the best of times but I am unable to tolerate

more than an hour out in this.The heat is unbearable and the humidity

has my joints swollen and aching.

Dare I say on here, roll on winter (ducking for cover!)

Hope you have a good day Sylvi and catch up on your sleep.

Looking forward to the olympics, love watching 80% of the events

even though they remind me of what I once was, fit! LOL.

[sylvi in reply to gazelleLOL]

I quite agree about the weather. I have always loved the sunshine and i was first out there sunbathing. This year has been a different year altogether. I go i come i go out you get the picture.I think i am so run down from the operation,ra/fibro that my body can't cope and i think thats why i am in a flare.

The olympics i'm afraid to say i am fed up with it already and it has only just started. All the fuss about the torch and who was carrying it and whether some of them were worthy enough just got up my back. Now the telly is full of it,you would there is no more news in the world. Sorry thats my moan over with.

Take care sylvi.xx

[sylvi in reply to sheenerweener]

Thank you very much,i hope it does too,as i have not had a flare like this one in all the nine years since i've been diagnosed.

We will be going to cambridge shortly to see the family and it will get a good run then. Then we will see how well it does.xxx
