Well as you all know i had a lovely week away last week. We got home safely on friday. Saturday and sunday was a good days as well. I was busy at the weekend. Saturday i went to bedworth and bulkington. I had a tax rebate so i went and put it in the bank before the taxman can take it back!!! Sunday i had a tidy up in our bedroom and i polished my room and the spare room. I also did some polishing downstairs as well. So all in all i was a busy girl. This morning i got up and i feel like nothing on earth. My eyes are puffy and watery and i am oh so tired. Saw my optician this morning and he looked in my eyes and said that they were still clear and he thinks i should see my gp. He is still of the opinion that it is RA. My fingers hurt as well. My fingers are swollen and stiff too. I have been asleep this afternoon as well.

It has been a lovely weekend and a lovely four days in devon, so i really didn't want to feel like this today. Tomorrow is going to be wet as well,so i suppose i will be bad again, if so i will stay indoors and rest as much as i can. I am going to get another blood test this week as i am seeing the consultant next week and i hope that he will be able to help me some more.

I will put another photo up from my holiday. Hope you are all painfree.

Hi Sylvi, glad to hear you've had a great time on holiday, I've not been on much as I've been really busy of late. Sorry to hear you're feeling unwell but hopefully you'll pick up soon. My hands and wrists are bad at the moment too so you have my sympathy. Get lots of rest

love Paula x

Hi Sylvi - poor you. My hands and wrists are playing up a little just now too but still nothing on this time last year thankfully. At least you are seeing your consultant very soon and had a great time away too. Take care. Tilda x

Hi Sylvie, You poor thing. You're certainly having a rough time of it lately.I don't seem to have posted much recently, mainly because I'm feeling a lot better,but you know what it's like. You feel good and tell everyone you're feeling fine etc and then "Wallop" you have the worst day ever!!!! I've been following your blogs though and just felt I had to say something.

I'm sending you many hugs, and really hope you see the up side of life again soon.

Love Carolyn x

Oh poor you, glad u had a good holiday but shame it hit you when u got home. I get puffy eyes too and a few people on here said they get it when they are tired. So take it easy, stop polishing and spend some of that tax rebate...on you!! Hope you get sorted soon Love Axx

Allanah, i think we all have pain every day,some days are worse than others,but never pain free. I am feeling good in my head for a while now and i think its down to the b6 and b12 that i have been taking. So i am chirpier than i have been for a long while. I am still enjoying last week.

Hope your wellish.xxx
