I feel terrible and am in so much pain

Hi Everyone, I am in so much pain at the moment , I was on Sulfa for a couple of weeks and had a reaction to it , rash , headache and it afftected my bloods so had to stop. Since i have had a load of pain and swelling and my hand is giving me a lot of trouble, the first three fingers and thumb are numb and tingling and i have a lot of pain down my arm. I could manage but the rest of my joints are swelled and very painful.
I cant sleep , I am not seeing the rhumey nurse until the 9th may so i have made an appointment to see the gp tomorrow but i dont think she will do anything for me . My neck is really painful to , i am sat here typing this and finding it hard to think , this arther is a horrible thing and to be honest i dont find the doctors all that bothered . I asked if i could be seen earlier than the 9th may but was told the holidays make that impossible . I dont see myself enjoying anything until i get this sorted . sorry about the rant but i am in so much pain it is driving me mad......jilly x

Hi Jilly,

Sorry to hear about your level of pain. Just wondering if you could persuade your gp to phone the hospital to get you in earlier ?

Sending you healing thoughts.

Hi John , I dont think she will help it took her 2 year's to get her to get me a second opinion, she is new to the practise and seems to hold back about everything but i will have a go ,thanks for the idea.

Hi Jilly
i'm sorry you have so much pain have you tried putting a wheatbag on where it hurts.
you could phone your doctors and say you are in so much pain and you dont know what to do. let them how worried you are they should fit you in.

Hi Jilly,
I do hope your dr can give you something to ease off the pain. You sound as if you are in full flare flower.
Rest as much as you can, are you allowed to take anti-flam meds or use the gels?
Gentle hugs,

Hi Jilly
So sorry that you are suffering at the moment,feel so helpless to help.Let's hope you can see someone asap.
No real consolation,but when you are down the only way is up.
