Hi all,


I need to vent and where else can I find a better place? I am in so much pain right now it isn't funny. We went swimming Monday and even though I wasn't feeling right, I tried it anyway. I did a few laps. No biggie. Well, now I am paying for it. My hands hurt and are so swollen I had to take my rings off to keep them from cutting off circulation. My knees are throbbing, and my ankles are in a class all their own. I agreed to go back to the pool this Saturday,and if the kids weren't looking forward to going I would back out.


My jaw hurts so bad I can barely eat,or talk. I don't know if it is because of the RA or the FMS. I see a dentist in a couple of weeks for a cleaning so I will mention it then.

Oh dear and here I am complaining about one finger. I know how you feel about wanting to bawl but have the kids...I have the same problem.
I hope you feel better in the morning, sleep well.

Hi!!!


Don't feel bad because you only have one finger hurting. That one finger can hurt as much as a whole body can. Everyone's pain is unique. I have had RA for almost 5 years now,and can say I have had my good periods where I have had little to no pain for a few days. I have had bad periods where it seemed like I would never feel better.


How is your finger this morning? I read where Molly said to keep it mobile. I should have given you that advice, but my pain pill started to kick in when I was posting my reply to you. LOL Silly me.


I am still hurting this morning,and bed is starting to look good to me. I was late getting the kids to school,and while I was digging in the freezer for the ice packs for the girls' lunches, a can of frozen juice fell out and landed on the top of my already painful foot. YIKES!!! Needless to say it hurts so much it is hard to walk.
Yet, I will stay up and try to get some housework done. Go figure.


I hope you slept well and that your finger feels better. I wish you a better, less painful day.
Take care.


Hugs,

Hi Molly,


I have the worst luck it would seem. Let me tell you how my day started. I woke up late,and was late getting the girls to school. That never happens. While I was rushing around making lunches, I was digging in the freezer looking for the ice packs to put in the lunch boxes,and a can of frozen juice fell out and landed on the top of my foot. Now I am dealing with pain and morning stiffness, and a foot that is throbbing,hard to walk on,and majorly bruised. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come.


I put another call in to my PCM and hope he will call me back before the weekend. I am still in pain and struggling a little. I have so much to do around this house that I won't be babying myself too long. I have decided to go to the pool on Saturday, but I haven't decided if I am going to swim. I will know on Saturday I guess.


How are you doing? How is the weather there? It is cold, but has been sunny the past few days. That is suppose to end today as they are calling for rain. And it looks grey outside now.


I am off to lay down for a bit,and then get my rear in gear and get some much needed housework done.


Take care.
Love and hugs,

Cyn, we actually had a period of sun and relatively warm temps, but a rainstorm is moving in as I write this and is supposed to hang around till the first part of next week.
