Stuff hurts.

I know it's not newsworthy but it does and I am tired, so very tired. The heat is oppressive (as is my PsA). I've cleaned as much as I can today because it was needed . . . I am thankful that my ear lobes, eyelashes, eyebrows and nails are pain-free. That has to be a result of some sort.
Sometimes it's too hard to find the positives, let alone appreciate them. This is one of those times.
I've had enough. Hey-ho, no matter, tomorrow will arrive and the dross will continue because that is what it does. I suspect I would have enjoyed a dross-free life but wasn't given the chance, thanks to the genetic gifts innocently donated by Ma and Pa. It's much harder work to enjoy a dross-ridden existence and I am tired of trying. Oh diddums, DD, shape up.

Sorry to hear you're not feeling so good - you're always so helpful to everyone on here. Really hope you get a good nights kip, and tomorrow's a better day for you. It's not like you to have a moan, but it does us all good to let it out sometimes, so moan away!0

You have so much going on at the moment with your house of workmen as wel as the heat to contend with I'm not surprised it's all getting on top of you. Having work done to your house, however welcome the end results is stressful as you never feel your house is really your own.
You are always there for the rest of us when we have our moans. We are here for you. Moan to us as much as you need to. That's what we're here for.He did not say you will not be storm tossed, you will not be sore distressed, you will not be work weary. He said you will not be overcome.

Nothing wrong with having a moan DD, we have plenty to moan about, hope you feel better tomorrow, the heat is so relentless and it does get you down...0

You moan away. We're hear to listen. Wish we could make you feel better.Christine0

Thank you, I appreciate your replies and kindness. Tonight proved to be a doozy ( not on the pain front) so I know I'm destined for a more sleepless night than usual. I don't enjoy moaning because it doesn't help but every now and again the PoSP can be a peaceful place. ( For newbies that means the Pool of Self Pity.) The strain and personal responsibilities of the past twenty one months is finally coming home to roost. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

Sorry to hear this DD, could it be Payback? You might know you couldn't have a good time without repercussions
I hope things improve soon, I know they will eventually, but sooner would be better
Take care ((((()))))

Once again I send my thanks to those who have replied. It's not payback - it's deeper than that. I feel flatter than a pancake probably because I am. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

When my mum felt low she used to say "she had to look up to see a snake's belly" This always makes me laugh, the saying that is, because none of this is funny.....

Oh Anna, thank you. I've just read your thread - you are having a tough time and no mistake but as usual you remember to encourage someone else. Good luck for tomorrow - please let us know (if and when you can) how things go. Take care.

While it's great to have a glass half full approach (I, too, list the things that don't hurt as it's a shorter list than what does hurt!) but equally, acknowledging the injustice and wanting to stop the world is a useful for psychological well being. I am firmly of the belief that it's totally acceptable to have had enough and heaven knows, you have every reason to feel this way.
We trudge on regardless and I feel there must be a purpose to all this. that there is method to the madness of life with arthritis.
Hang on in there!0 -

Stuff's even worse. Yesterday my right knee gave way, totally out of the blue, and down I went. The bruising is horrendous, it's on the outside of the upper leg from knee to hip and buttock, plus a significant graze where I hit the sharp corner of an occasional table, and I have two on my stomach; gawd knows where they came from. Sanguinous hades. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

Oh DD, you really are going through the mill at the moment. Your fall must have shaken you up as well as it is always frightening.

Oh, DD, so sorry to hear you've had a fall. Take good care of yourself. As Slosh says, it will have shaken you up quite a lot. ((()))
Meg0 -
Sorry DD just seen this :oops: been a bit icky after treatment. Hope you have got over your fall, hopefully can send some of our cooler weather your way maybe help to make you feel a wee bit better ((((()))))...............Marie xxSmile a while and while you smile
smile another smile and soon there
will be miles and miles of smiles
just because you smiled I wish your
day is full of Smiles0 -
Sanguinous Hades? How restrained! I would have been screeching about fornicating flames of Hades myself.
You didn't need this. And that makes no difference at all.
You know the drill. R & R and lots of it. ((((()))))If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

I'm too shaken to be that creative. Using both crutches in the house today, that seems like a plan. DD

Please take it easy and don't try to do too much.He did not say you will not be storm tossed, you will not be sore distressed, you will not be work weary. He said you will not be overcome.
