Guest guest Posted January 28, 2001 Report Share Posted January 28, 2001 Hi Rainy!!! Oh drat, thought I stumbled onto the next great new diet drug!!! Like I said, I liked how it helped with the swelling, I would love to try it again, I'm sick already of doing my MTX shots. Although I haven't been doing them lately , I've been to afraid with the girls having the flu. So, what are you doing up? Or are you a night owl? Are you feeling ok?

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2001 Report Share Posted January 29, 2001 Hi Barb =) I was a night owl, for a while there. I got up about 5 AM and will be headed to bed soon. Maybe after I am done with this current load of laundry. I am feeling OK. Tired now. No, wait. Not true. I woke up last night about 11 PM in horrible pain. I am hurting pretty bad today. It just came from no where! WHAM! I guess the Remicade has officially warn off this round. I get it again Tuesday. At least it won't be a long wait. My hands are killing me! Along with everything thing else. I don't know if it is arthritis or fibro or both. I think both. I feel like whining about it today and I don't normally do that. I have been a HUGE grump! So, I know it's pretty bad when I starting complaining. Sleep will be extra good tonight! To block this all out, but I dread the morning! I know I will feel like someone dropped me off a cliff into a pile of rocks. Aren't you glad you asked? =) How are you doing? ~Rainy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 29, 2001 Report Share Posted January 29, 2001 Hi there: Sure can relate to not sleeping and aching. Having a real bad, bad spell still. Lucky if I get 3hrs sleep regardless of what I try. Leg hurts so bad sometimes I wonder if there isn't something else going on with it. I sleep with long flannel robe, nightgown, sweatpants and socks and still can't get my legs warm and I'm in SC. I try hot packs, alternating with cold packs like the doc says, it helps some, lortab and ultram don't work at all any more.....oh well, it could be worse, at least I can move and get about however, slowly. DId get to SS this am. so that was great. Super bowl stunk....my team lost in fact, I'm not sure they showed up..... Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
