hi do not know what to say to help (((hugs))) and do hope you get some help soon have you tried putting feet in cold water. sorry that your plans might not go as you would wish but that you manage something else good luckval0

I'm so sorry you're in pain, all you can do is rest up until you feel better, we've all been there xx. I know its awful that you're having a flare up just before your birthday, maybe you can have two birthdays like the queen, your official one and an unofficial one when you're feeling better0

Ahhhhh Madness so sorry to hear that.
It's such a bu**er when it interferes with our special days and plans.
Hope someone treats you to some nice goodies for your birthday and you can console yourself with those instead. Maybe you can go to the safari park when the flares settled down.
Dare I say have a restful birthday tomorrow.

Do you remember in Alice through the looking glass they celebrate an un birthday? Every day that isn't your birthday is your un birthday!! Enjoy!0

Hi, What a disappointment - to say nothing of the pain you've had! Still, the queen has 2 birthdays so why can't you??? You can choose the day and what to do and all that!
I'm sorry, though, and hope you had at least a little bit of a Happy Birthday.
Lots of love Sue xxx0 -
well happy birthday sorry it was not the one you wanted and had planned but the next one will be much better i would wait till spring comes then do it all again you can look foward to it then sure it will be worth itval0

Hi Madness,
I am sorry its sort of ruined your plans but go for a second birthday as soon as your better and yep tell them you would like more pressies I really hope it is soon back under control and your feeling much better. Cris x0 -
What I have done is to say that the weekends before and after my birthday are my 'Official Birthday Weekend'. If no flareups on the first weekend, then that is my birthday. If I have a flareup then the next weekend is my birthday. One or the other is usually flare free.
So we all go out for Sunday lunch and celebrate.

Never mind I got every passing stranger to feel sorry for me and sing Happy Birthday
Glad you're having a relaxing birthday and you live it later girl

Hi madness1985,
Sorry we nearly missed your birthday. Perhaps you could let us know when your "official" birthday is?
Hope you are beginning to feel a bit better.

Hi Madness
Guess what? I'm having a flare and have been in bed nearly all day as I'm in pain and so tired.
It is not my birthday though.
I just popped in for 5 minutes and saw you.
Well I can do one thing though I can wish you a Happy Birthday.
Go to the safari park when you feel better, you will enjoy it more.The weather might be better too.

Happy 25th birthday, my lovely The safari park is not going anywhere so no worries there. You go when you are feeling much better - something to look forward to for you.
How's the wedding preparations going?
Love

Hi Madness,
You supported me last week, now I am here for you.
A very Happy Belated Birthday.
These flare up seem to be popping up more and more, must be the time of the year, you rest up and enjoy another birthday soon when you are feeling better.
I hope that is very soon.
Lots of gentle hugs (((((((((((())))))))))
love

Hi Vicky
Happy birthday.Sorry I missed the actual day but somehow had it in my head your birthday was on a Monday! I am like Joseph and spread my birthday over 2 weekends depending on what is happening in my life and how I feel.I have felt sad at missing a few Christmas so I know how you feel.
I hope you got lots of lovely presents and saw the people that love you.
All the best

Hey Madness,
Sorry to hear the flare ruined your plans. Hoping you feel better soon and get to do all the things you had to postpone.

Hi
Sorry to hear about your pain and discomfort. It's not fair when things happen during your birthday. Try and enjoy the day.
I always have a flare up when I push myself too much. Try and rest. Use an ice/heat pack on the really worse area.
Take care and Happy Birthday - mine is tomorrow and I'll be 54. Spending it at home as I had a TKR a week ago.
