hi - need a cry and moan today!! have been doing really well - even with the new mxt injections, but woke up today and thought - oh my god he's back with vengance today!!! feel sick even after taking anti-sickness tablet and pain in most joints even thought took 2 pain killers!!!! feel like crap and want to cry - have cried on hubbys shoulders but this not really made me feel better today!!!!!! is it because the summer has gone and the weather is now on the turn and getting colder??? feel the damp in my bones today - creaking like old floor boards!!!!!!

upsets me today as have tried to feel so positive over the last few weeks and getting a bit worried as am due to start a new job in just over a week!!!! have been doing bits to help a mate out last week so wondered if over done it but wanted to try and get back into a routine as been off sick since may!!!!


oh why does it have to be so hard to get through a day!!!!!!! :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

    Hi Louise,

    I am sorry your having a bad day today. Its probably a combination of all the things that you have mentioned and it will pass. Going back to work is daunting at the best of times and summer, well what it has managed to be still has a bit of time left to run on...... We may get some sun soon :wink:

    You take it easy today, try and relax and not to worry about everything. I know its easier to said than done but a bit of rest, a bit of comfort and maybe things will start looking better for you? I really hope you will feel better about stuff soon and have a lot less ache and pain which will help. A ((( ))) is all I can do to 'help' but you take care, Cris x

    Dear Louise

    I am so sorry that you feel as you do at the moment, when you have been feeling positive too and getting on with your life. I am sure that you have done too much, which we all do when we feel better in ourselves, it is a natural reaction isn't it? Please don't beat yourself up about it. It is good that you are having a good cry. Things will be better soon. At least you have a hubbie's shoulder to cry on. We all try to think of things that may have triggered matters for the worse. Often there is just no rhyme or reason is there?

    I am sure, if you take some deep breaths and remember the better times you have just had, this is just a blip and it will pass. Probably deep down you are worrying a little about this new job, only natural again and that may have aggravated things.

    We do have sun today and I hope I am sharing this with you too.

    The better times will return, I promise.

    Luv

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    Hi Louise,
    you go ahead and have a moan - it can be so frustrating, can;t it, when you don't know what you've "done"...I mean, if you knew you've overdone it with activities or something, strained yourself or something...but when you haven't it just seems to unfair.

    In fact, the whole thing seems unfair sometimes...

    sending you a big comforting hug from London

    Dear Rosie

    I am so sorry to hear that you too are not feeling that good either. I wish I could share some of my "feeling ok" with both you and Louise. The best I can do is send you my love and hugs and hope that you both begin to feel a little better both mentally and physically soon.

    Chin up, both of you, better days will return,

    Lots of love

    Hello, So sorry you feel ill today. Have a good cry if you want to, I know I sometimes feel much better aferwards. My husband hates to see me cry, he doesn't understand, so I try to sneak off to the loo or, best place, the bedroom!
    I have OA and although I take tramadol, I'm lucky that it dosen't make me feel sick. It is a horrible feeling though so I hope you soon get over it. Can you sip some water, or tonic water, I find helps me. Hope it goes off quickly, Love Sue

    Sending hugs to you today! As others have said, these days sneak up on us, often without rhyme or reason, and sometimes you have to curse and cry, it makes us feel better! Do hope you feel better soon, Josie :wink:

    I'm very sorry you are feeling so low today. Bad days really are awful, the only positive is, a good day will be round the corner.

    Just take things easy and look after yourself. Don't do too much, just find something that makes you feel relaxed even a nice warm bath or a nice book to try and take your mind off things. Sharing does help, it means alot to hear others are in the same boat. We all have days where we have a little cry. It does get better with time.

    Hope you feel better soon, take care of yourself.

    Hi every one! thanks for the kind words and hugs!!! am better today but not brill!!!! i think it is the nausa that really gets me down and the horrid taste at the back of the mouth that makes it worse!!!!! I think the commets said are right - sometimes when we feel ok we do more and then suffer for it!!!! it is so hard sometimes to pace yourself! my husband doesnt know what to say either so most times i do cry to myself - but some times it is nice to have some one to cuddle to when you are sad!!!!

    hopefully i will feel a lot better tommorrw - it is normally just the sunday and monday that i feel a bit under the weather!!!! the sun has been out today in Cornwall - and this does help!!!!!!

    just one question - does anyone get the sweats at night when feeling nausa and with the pain??? was so hot last night and slept for 3 hrs late afternoon till 8pm, then from 11pm till 7am this morning!!!!!

    Anyway - thanks again for all the kind words and I hope everyone is feeling better today!!!

    love and cyber hugs to you all

    Louise xx

    Hi Louise, glad you feel a little better.

    To answer your question re symptoms. Yes I get very nauseaus and suffer awful sweating whenever I move around or at night. I'm sure it is the drugs I am on, are you on anything? It may be side effects?
