Hi everyone, I’m not coping very well with my right shoulder at the moment, when I try and move my arm I got painful crunches and shooting pains down my arm and my hand tingles, mostly I forget and reach out or move something and I’m in agony, it’s so hard as I’m right handed, I have arthritis in both joints of my shoulder…
Following on from the Triumphs thread and positive thinking.... If my wedding ring fits on the correct finger I know the oedema’s down and it’s a Good Day. A small thing, but a significant one for me. What signifies a Good Day for you?
Cold sore having healed, yesterday was my first dose of Benepali. I’m used to injecting myself with methotrexate but the device for the biologic is a bit different and I found I couldn’t do it. Cue husband - who did his best but pushed too hard and jiggled the needle. It was so painful that I yelped and told him to stop…
I've had two steroid injections so far. But this second one has only lasted 4 months. The pain for some daily tasks is returning. Everyday i make sure i get out and walk, but i use the walking stick for support (epilepsy meds are affecting my sense of balance) Waiting for buses is a nightmare, if i get a lift from someone…

On a positive note today I’ve managed to…

For those who don't look in that often that is the word I use for 'medical administration' (and yes, I borrowed the idea from Miranda). :wink: Around ten days ago HaH sent me a delivery detail email which I didn't hear as my phone wasn't close to hand. 28 minutes after it arrived someone from HaH rang me to arrange the…
RA affects my hands & feet & right now I have a flare up in all the joints of 2 fingers. My GP changed me from Ibuprofen to Arcoxia a few weeks ago so I’m taking that along with paracetamol & occ dihydrocodeine. It’s 4am now & ive been awake since 2.30 in pain. Can’t take any more analgesia yet & had to remove my support…
