    Hi cheekygirl,

    I am so sorry you are feeling low. Who could blame you with what you have to put up with.

    I know you are not being 'pathetic' just in pain and want to 'speak' to people who understand.

    I am sending love and hugs your way and really hope things improve for you soon.

    Louisa x

    Hi Cheekygirl,

    Ure certainly suffering so I'm not surprised you need to get ure frustration & upset out!! It's really tiresome & quite lonely, unless we're on here, suffering with chronic pain. It helps to 'talk' & share ure fears & anger I think :)

    I hope the new rheumy has a plan of action to help ure ankles? Or suggestions of wot you can do to try & keep them as mobile & useful as possible??

    I hope you feel some improvement soon.x
    Healing Hugs

    Hi Cheekygirl,

    You are having to cope with so much and so no wonder you're feeling low. I hope you get the help you deserve and feel a little better soon :).

    Hi Cheeky, Your far from pathetic, when you find out more parts of the body are giving up the ghost on you it does bring you down, I found out just yesterday that my toes are starting to show signs of O.A so another part of my failing body to tick off!! Not much left that is all right!
    So we are all in the failing body club!!
    If I go to A&E with pain in a certain limb, they stick me in a cubical make me wait for several hours Dr comes in (Obviously looked at my notes on computer) asks what's wrong, checks me over gives me an injection of pethidine and sends me home to rest! So I waited for usually between 4-6hrs my OH getting irrate for an injection!
    I used to be a bubbly girl, life and soul of the party! Now I'm more withdrawn and quiet. But now & then the bubbly bubba pops out! So do't think you will never be bubbly again. It takes time.
