hi quick one from me

theresa4

sorry Im not about much at the minute but just not good at all but after all your help over christma re the chet wall pain the least I could do is update.

The chest wall pain came back new year with a vengeance but I just stuck it out and yet again it went when it was ready so Im pretty sure its arthur sticking his oar in where its not wanted as usual. :evil Will speak to my rheumy on 20th this month.
I am so tired at the minute actually I mean exhausted. Im not sleeping due to pain although my joints are not particularly swollen at the minute but are damn painful especially on a night so nothing much is new but the old stuff is getting me down at the minute and Im just so sick of feeling sh** I want to give in.
also, Has anyone heard anymore about the contribution based ESA? Im wondering whether I will still get it in April?

those with weak stomach miss out a paragraph

As for my bowel stuff Ihad a colonoscopy :shock: which showed nothing so I have no explanation for bleeding etc... apparently the sigmoid showed visible colitis but the biopsys didnt? so its looks like I will just have to cope with not being able to go out when it flares up??? Bit like my RA and is avooiding being detected. So gastro will probably delete me as a person of non interest.


hope everyone had a good christmas and new year and hopefully I will feel up to replying to a few posts soon.

love Theresa xx

Hi Theresa
Sorry you are suffering like this...I do hope your rheumy can offer some help, the worsted thing is not knowing what is causing what..I do wish you well with it all ....I think with all Arthurs it seems to be that we get there slow but sure....slow being the operative word..you take care and please let us know how you get on.

Thanks barbara for replying I will keep you all informed just so sick of it all I need to get my studying sorted and try get my head into something. Things are so difficult at the minute my hubby is working 18 hr days ( our own busimess) hes exhausted and I feel so guilty I need to help him but I cant always help myself to dress let alone support him. The economy is crushing us, honestly without my disabilty mortgage insurance we would be out of a home.

short and sweet my hands are very sore and Im trying to make an effort to answer a few posts.

Theresa So sorry Arther is not being nice to you at the moment, hope it eases soon, and I hope you can get an answer to what it is when you see the consoltant on the 20th. I'm sorry that your feeling so down from the pain in your chest and your poorly bowels if you ever want to talk to someone else with poorly bowels and has had a colonoscopy and got no where! your welcome to P.M me whenever you want. :sad:

Hi Theresa

l am so sorry that your arthritis is playing up so badly and you are struggling to sleep :sad:

the colonscopy....when you next see someone l would ask if you can try soething for it - maybe an anti-spasmodic edication to ease the bowel???

l a glad at least that you are seeing the rheumy on 20th.

Love

Toni xx
