There's a time to be brave, valval, and a time to call for reinforcements. You've done the bravery bit long enough. I hope the anti-inflamms help and also the visit to the rheumatologist.

I am glad to hear that things are on the move for you valval and I hope the chance of injections comes through sooner rather than later. I take it we are talking steroid? Don't forget to rest - properly - for at least 24 hours after, though my hospital always says 48 is better. Count me in for pocket duties when the time comes. DD

Hi Val,

Just think a tiny injection , if it does hurt it will only be for seconds.
Better that than all the pain you are in now.

I’m hoping today’s a bit better for you, valval. That head thing sounded very scarey. Try not to worry about the jab(s). Easier said than done, I know, but the more you can relax the easier it is.

valval

took co codamol and knocked my self out so slept through most of it. meds are out of system now felt like head was going to explode would rather have the flare at least can cope with that. just got out of bath done stretching exercises while in it do have to remember not to put to much water in right ankle not to good and ball of foot has lump in and feels numb (going into toes) new one for me but well what ever will be will be more meds then do some of the stuff never got around to yesterday then nap this after have great day one and all and thankyou for helping get through all this who would have thought a sore chest could be such a pain lol does not always hurt but always swollen and sore tut tut right got to go get dressed do not tell tony but sat here in my towel not a good look lol :oops:

hi sticky feeling much better, not thinking about october till i have to but need it doing that for sure thanks for message have good weekend val

julie47

glad you are not feeling too bad today val and hope the bath has eased any aches and pains.
I am sure when you have the jabs they will help you. They were always very good for me.

Have a good weekend

Morning valval, you are having a tough time aren't you? Better the arthritis than the headaches methinks, a single misery is far better than a double one. Keep up with the dullers, rest as much as you can, sleep if you need to and I hope things improve for you soon. DD

valval

yey it the weekend can take pain dullers to heart content lol no worry about messing up at work and going to nap now hugs to all val
