Re: fatique and not feeling well

[Guest guest]

HI Angie,

I have been there. First, you might want to call your rheumy and let him know

how badly you are feeling, May 9th is quite a long time away. Second, can you

take a few sick days to catch up on some much needed rest? It might help you a

lot. I am very new at this and I am amazed that you are still working. I

finally gave that up. You definitely have a lot of people supporting you here

in the group, don't ever forget that. Gentle hugs and best of luck, Tracie in

Maine

[ ] fatique and not feeling well

For the last couple of weeks I have been so tired. I just don't have

any energy the last two days have even been worse Felt like a truck

ran over me I was in so much pain and so tired. Now every joint in my

body hurts also don't know if the right foot is hurting so bad from

the fracture or if its just part of the rest of my aches. The othro

hasn't called me back yet so I don't know what going on with it. Does

anyone have any secrets to deal with the fatique I am just so tired I

have trouble getting up in the morning come home from work and

collapse on the couch I go back and see the rheumy on May 9 so I will

talk to him then.

Thanks for listening to me whine. I appreciate your support Don't get

a whole lot from anyplace else.

Thanks

Angie, I think the fatigue is the worse part of this disease! When

I have flares, I noticed that my foot and ankle hurt worse then. My

right foot has 5 stress fractures in it and a torn tendon. So,

believe me, I know what that feels like, especially when having a

flare!! I agree with Tracie. You need to call your rheumy and see

if you can get in sooner. Or, maybe leave a message with his nurse

so you can get some advice from them. As for dealing with the

fatigue, when you are having a flare, I haven't found anything to

help it. Otherwise, rest is the best thing. I try to get some

sleep. If you have any pain meds, be sure to take them to help with

the inflamation. That is part of what is causeing your foot to hurt

more. I hope you get over this soon. I am going through it as

well, at this time. Sometimes it seems as if it just sneeks up on

you. As for support, I don't get it anywhere else but here,

either. Not even my employer or boss (who is a nurse) doesn't give

a rats butt about what I am going through. So, feel free to whine

all you want. The wonderful people here are more than willing to

listen. Feel free to email me if you want to talk....Marina in Ohio

Angie:

I take really hot showers to help relieve the pain. I also find using a hot

tub and a sauna helpful as well. I will go to my local recreational centre

and use these to treat myself. Most of these facilities are handicapped

accessible....so easy to get in and out of.

Also, I use a parrafin wax dip for my hands and feet. I find that it

provides me with a lot of relief.

I am also a believer that if you're tired, then you should sleep. I also

find that using extra pillows to support mybody helps as well. I place

one under my knees to help me to be comfortable while I'm resting.

Good luck...

Thanks for your message you are right the hot showers do make me

feel better till I get out of it. Unfortualy I don't have access to

the hot tub or sauna. I will try to get out this weekend to the the

parafin you suggested. I'll try anything. I gave in last night and

went to bed at 8:30 but I can't say I feel much better. Thanks

again for your suggestions and your support.
