Morning all,i am down here early not because of the knee that is well on the road to being mended,stil a way to go but news positive on that score.
The reason i'm up so early is that the good old RA didn't want to enjoy my good news for too long and it wanted to get into mischief to spoil what has been good news day.
I have not had a good night with the dreaded old RA. It was sore last night,but nothing like it has been during the night. The only thing i can think is causing it apart from being in a flare is the sudden change in the tempreture. It was very warm yesterday afternoon and i sat out in the front garden and really enjoyed the weather, while topping up the tan. It has gone from being warm to hot quite suddenly. My fingers have been so sore again. My throat has been rough again and if i didn't know any better i would have said i had a strep throat. my breathing has been funnyas well. I can't describe what is happening on that score. My knees are sore as well. I will not let it my RA get me down today after my good news yesterday. I mustn't let get complacent about my knee though and do something stupid to it. Though the news has been good, i still have to remember that it is a 12mth healing period.
Good morning to one and all.........
Ps,thought i would put a photo of some nice weather...

Sorry that you had a bad night. Just read your blog from yesterday about cutting the grass, I know that sometimes we just have to do something to feel more normal but guessing you probably over did it. It was probably just a bit too strenuous. (<cant think how to spell that).
There's definitely a finite line between what we can manage and what we cant. And, the only way to find out of course is to try it. After which if it was too much then we suffer for it.
Hope the weather is good for you today. (I'm off to make my coffee and line up those little coloured pills ! ........ )
Judi i have already done that job. I take mine with actimel.I has rinsed the empty bottle out and put it out for recycling which comes today. I plan to sit out in the sun and catch some rays. Sylvi.xx
Good morning Sylvi
Sorry to hear you had a restless night. We don't seem to be getting the high temperatures here but that suits me better and at least it's not raining.
I'm aching a bit this morning but like Judi have downed my pills with a cup of coffee - another on the way. The old sciatica is rumbling a bit and the left ankle of course, but otherwise I'm pretty sure the pain is some of my muscles coming to life again after yesterday's flexercise. I'm telling myself it is a good thing!
Hubby has told me he is going to get my rockeer outside and i'm to sit and enjoy the sun. It does annoy me a bit when you have a good day followed by a rough day. There is no sense in this disease. Having said that i'm not going to let it get me down after such good news yesterday. At least some part of my body is workng well. I have to be grateful for small mercies. Love sylvi.xx
Good morning Sylvi, I hope that you had a better nights sleep last night. I know the night seems so long when you're in pain.
From your blogs it still doesn't seem as though you are getting any relief from the steroid injections, I do hope I'm wrong.
How's your throat and chest this morning - hope you managed to sit outside in the fresh air yesterday, the sunshine does seem to cheer us up a bit (welll, it does me) even though I cant actually sit in the sun for very long.
OK, that's me over and out for another day. Off to 'pop the pills' with the coffee and half a dozen biscuits. (I can't face breakfast this early - 06:40 - but will bear in mind the actimel when I get fed up with the biscuits!)
Fingers crossed that we all have a more painfree day today.
Judi, I did sit in the sun yesterday and i enjoyed it greatly. The tan is coming along nicely. I wish i could say same about the nights sleep. I had cramp in my right knee and i was popping painkillers all night. It was a very disturbed sleep weird dreams. At the moment i hve had a cuppa and popped my pills and i am waiting for my fingers to work as they don't want to play this morning.I am so tired too. Well it is breakfastand then to get ready for the hospital to see the psycho and get some more bloods done. Hopefully if i have time i will try and see rheumy nurse. I am lucky with her as she is a gem.
