Hello everyone. I haven't blogged for a while as i haven't felt that well. I am having trouble walking at the moment as my feet burn. My usual trip one way to/from the village has stalled. Two weeks ago i couldn't get home and Grace had to meet me with my scooter,bless her. It broke my heart that i couldn't do it. It has happened again several times since and it is getting me down. Today was another day when it beame a struggle to walk. I start off not too bad and then my feet hurt and it gets harder and harder to walk. Got home at lunch time and i broke my heart out,with the frustration and the pain. My whole body hurts. Don't know whether its ra or what. I have now spoken to my rheumy nurse and she has said that a lot of her patients get burning feet with ra and to see her next week and she will see my dr about increasing my mtx. I am feeling so angry at my body for letting me down and its a day when i wish i wasn't here. No i don't have suicidal thoughts it is just the way i feel. After speaking to her i feel a little bit brighter about my body.
I have just driven our new car the first time i have driven in three years. Hubby got rid of the laguna and got a kangoo and those i was a bit nervous to start with i managed it on all the back road road here. And to finish my blog i went yesterday and had my hair recoloured and it looks all right. I really didn't feel like going,but i'm glad i did. Now i think i will take some pain relieve and rest. I hope you all are feeling wellish.xxx

Thank you all for your lovely comments. It hasn't been one of my more cheerful blogs,but sometimes you just have to let it out. I have never felt as ill as this since i have been diagnosed with ra so it has been a shock. I'll live to fight another day. thank you all.xxxx
Hi Sylvi sorry your not so bright today its so frustrating when you can't do what you normally can hopefully you will be back to your normal self real soon. Your hair looks fab x
Sylv I really hope you feel better soon, I wore the pink lippy especially for you at Mondays interview with the paper:)) you are always here for everyone whatever the reason and now we are all here for you,take lots of care love Michelle xxx
Hi sylvi, So sorry you are such pain & the frustration that goes with that. Good to hear about the car. Love the hair. Roll on the better weather! Hugs &love flying your way.
Struggling with the weather, had the sickness bug, had a semi flare in my hands (hands hooked & fat sausage fingers), all due to the sickness bug aggravating my RA. Still reading blogs, just been feeling under the weather for a month now. Hope all are well
Joanne,you poor thing suffering like that. Sickness and stress over that won't help your ra that is for sure. I think its not only the weather, but its getting near the end of winter as well.xxxx
Hi Sylvi, sorry to hear you're suffering. I've had the burning/tingling feet too quite a bit recently - usually mine is just the right one for some strange reason. It's a real pain (literally) isn't it - I suppose I could always try hopping. Love the hair.
Caroline,you would look funny hopping all over the place. Sadly my burning feet are in both feet. I didn't know that it was ra related. I will find out more next wednesday and then i will know if i can resume my walking.
|THank you all for your kind words. I am not used to this i really am not very good at taking compliments,good at giving them so i am very grateful for all that you have said.xxx
