Sudden flare

Didn't see this one coming! Started with stiff neck last night about
10.00 Very quickly spread to jaw shoulders and sternum. The elbows and wrists joined in. (hands were already bad, but got worse). By 10.30, knees ankles and toes jumped on the band wagon.Dosed up with co-co's and bagapentin, I went to bed. Every thing still hurt, and painful hips made it impossible to turn without help from Humpty, so he was awake most of the night as well.
No better this morning. Can't lift right hand to key board, so typing left handed.
Humpty is marvelous. He does everything for me, but he can't handle the crying bit. I practically will him to go to work, so I can let rip. Any way he'll be back soon to check on me so better dry my eyes. I just hope this goes as quickly as it came.
Sorry to be so self indulgent.I know you all have crap going on.
I wish you well,
Numpty

Oh dear, poor you. This can happen, they spring up from nowhere and they are so distressing when they do. Just rest as much as you can, keep up with the pain dullers (they can have a cumulative effect), keep hydrated and sleep if you need, regardless of the time of day.

Rest as much as possible, keep snug, and as our lovely DD said, keep the dullers topped up.

Thank you my lovely friends, for your kind words and thoughts.
Another terrible night last night. Can't go to bed today as I'm on my
own, and there's no way I could get out of it unaided. So I've spent the morning in my RR chair, watching films.
The hip pain has subsided somewhat, but the shoulders and neck are if anything, worse. Can't bear any weight on left ankle and knee.
Still having to type left handed.
Any way, I'm now going to watch Denzel Washington in Man on fire.
Yesterday was bad, but it's gone. Today is bad, but it's going. Tomorrow is another day.
Allthe best,

Thank you again, you lovely people.
I did have a better night last night. I think I actually nodded off.
Still in lots of pain and brain fug.
Anyway, it will pass. At least there's room for improvement!
I wish you all well,
Numpty
ps Tony, it's a brilliant film, that's the third time I've watched it. But then I am a Denzel Washington fan.0 -
