Thankyou Suzy and everyone of my friends here,
I'm slowly getting better, although I'm shocked and worried at how frail ive become...I almost don't recognise myself, I'm determined to pick myself up and power on, but it is hard with so many setbacks.
I'm up at 3am because my ankle and now my elbow are giving me grief, very sore and red/swollen x:roll: but, it's times like this that I think and reflect, life could always be so much worse, I'm happy, love my hubby&boys, got good family and friends and the outstanding, never failing support from all you lovely people here. I am indeed a lucky girl.
Love and hugs to all of you. X'grá agus solas'

Hi all,
Oh dear, I've rested I promise, today I pretty much kept to my bed, but my elbow is huge, red and puffy. It started last night but nothing is taming it, coming on top of the ankle I'm really feeling blue x:roll:
I see my Rheumy next Monday anyway so will make sure I have some photos of the elbow just in case it's gone down by then.
I honestly feel exasperated with it all at the moment, its not me, I can usually cope with it, maybe I'm just tired I'm not sleeping well because of the pain so that's probably all it is. Ignore me, I'll be alright, it will go down, my elbow and ankle will settle and the enbrel&mtx will kick in. x:-?'grá agus solas'

oh poppy :sad:
I do hope this flare leaves you soon my lovely.
Fingers crossed that your meds kick in shortly.
Keep warm and take care

(((Poppy)) it must seem so neverending for you at the moment. Its not suprising you are frail considering it all. However you will bounce back and get strong and be fighting fit, it is just going to take time.
Its nice to have a loving supportive family behind you and it does help as it spurs you on to be well for them. Keep resting and lets hope you get some relief soon.
Thinking of you x x x0
