Impossible to sleep

[gazelleLOL]

It is nearly three am, went to bed at ten am and so far had

three cups of tea whilst watching all sorts on the box.

My shoulders and upper arm muscles are killing me, unable

to lift them up without pain and stiffness. No matter how

I lay down the pain has me sitting up within minutes.

Just remembered, it is now Christmas day. trying very hard to

not feel self pity, failed a couple of times and hoped a good

weep would tire me out, no such luck!

Just watched Scrooge with Ross Kemp in the lead role, it is sad

but so funny in a quirky way.

Have a good day all.

Thanks for kind words all.

I could stand it no more and have upped my steroids.

It came about as I was told to drop down to 2mg per day, so fed up

with it all, have needed help with washing, dressing and my hair.

Thank goodness I am just about able to manage in the bathroom!!!

Would have made my christmas had I had to ask for help(

healing wishes to you all.
