Re: pajamas, etc.

Dear Kerri,

How fortunate that your dr. had a med student watching and had to actually do

his job properly for a change. I wish you didn't have to wait until your next

rheumy appt. to address the pain issue, but at least he listened about your

kidneys. I hope you don't mind, but I had to laugh about your pajama-to-pajama

day. I've had plenty of those. My personal preference are those reasonably

priced, draw string, capri pajama pants from Target, coupled with a stylish

men's T-shirt. Today I selected a fetching " Speed Racer " shirt to compliment

the polka dots on my favorite bottoms. I especially like it that I can take the

pants on and off without taking off my supportive tennis shoes--which because of

my foot pain I wear even indoors. Sometimes I see women in high heels and tight

skirts and I think--Didn't I dress like that in another life????

take care, laura

Thank you for your reply. I saw my GP yesterday and explained my frustration.

Luckily he had a med student with him, so couldn't blow me off and I got the

full work up instead of a lot of nods and mmhmmm's. He said the pain in my foot

is very common with RA and to make sure I buy arch supports for my shoes or I'll

end up wearing those oh-so-stylish orthopedic shoes if I'm not careful. He took

the first pictures of my spine yesterday in 5 years. I hope they don't find any

bone damage, because maybe physical therapy would help. He increased a sleeping

med for me and upped my anti-depressant also. As far as pain meds go, he told

me to talk to my rheumy at my next apt in two weeks. He also paid attention when

I told him my kidneys seem to be bothering me, I have a history of stones and

infections, he checked my urine and again found infection so we're taking care

of that. I also had my flu shot and woke up last night with a migraine from

hell, so I'm quite a bit slow on the go today.

almost dinner time and I just got out of my pajamas to put a new pair of pajamas

on, lol. I hope you are doing well today. Take care of youself and God bless.

Dear Kerri Sue,

My diagnosis is " inflammatory arthritis with fibromyalgia " and the pain started

in my foot and ankle about a year and one-half ago. I know how frustrating it

is to have foot pain--like you can't go anywhere without feeling like you're

being stabbed with every step. I also know what it's like to be treated like a

drug-seeker and I feel for you. We're just trying to live a normal life, here.

Maybe you could call the pharmacist and see if it's okay to take Tylenol with

the hydrocodone. The medication that always worked best for my pain was Norco,

which is hydrocodone plus tylenol. It works much better than the hydrocodone

alone. I took baclofen for a while and it was worthless--it only made me tired.

You're not crazy and you do have a right to adequate pain management. My GP

absolutely refused to prescribe me pain meds of any kind and said he wasn't

qualified and that I'd have to get them from a specialist. Maybe yours feels

that way too. Perhaps it's time to write your

rheumy a note and say that your GP isn't comfortable managing your pain meds

adequately and that he'll have to take over. Tell him your trying to be tough,

but it's really wearing you down and enough is enough. I pray that you'll get

the help you need and deserve soon. Please keep us posted and hang in there.

medicated properly for pain? Rash has broken out again

Hope you don't mind me butting in. :-) I am a " jammie " wearer too. I

get those plaid flannels bottoms at BJs and the cheap T's at AC an

extra size bigger. Just makes life easier when you have those bad

days. I must admit that if I don't have to go anywhere, I wear them all

the time. I do wear " proper " clothing when I go out somewhere. My

biggest problem is pants because the spine hurts terrible right where

the waist band is on the back. Those drawstring flannels do the trick.

Loose Ts are easier to get on and off.

YAY nities. LOL. I get too warm in flannel PJ pants or Tshirts...and my

fingers knees and toes are not always cooperative for pulling pants up, I have

already nearly given up my button and zipper jeans for elastic waist pants- but

I have always worn nitegown, silky feeling ones with a wide sweep to them cuz I

am so warm.and cuz I do not get tangled in them when I sleep. LOL. ANd yes, I

wear my nities round the clock if I am not going anywhere. I also n occasion

wear these house dress things....my kids call them my old lady things- they have

snaps most of them up the front and are very light cotton (like a sheet?) and

have 2 huge patch pockets on front....only around the house..the pockets are

great for a bottle of water my phone, etc especially if my feet are flaring bad

and I am using a walker or crutches.

But yes, I always wear " clothes " when I leave the house....even to just drop the

kids at school. My teen girls wear PJ pants all kinds of places, tho......and

lately the kids at school wear slippers to school, too.

I wear losts of loose dresses or peasant skirts instead. I am 46 and well, the

PJ pants intrigue me, and I have some pants that are PJ style but different

fabric...I have worn those out shopping at grocery store or to laundromat. I

like them with a bright tank top and a loose soft stretchy chenille sweater

jacket.

Shoes can also be a problem for me cuz my feet do not want to flex or get put

into shoes and my toes swell, too....and it hurts my fingers tomess with shoes.

I never used to like clogs but.I now have my first pair, slide the feet right

in.....summer was nice cuz I worse slip on sandals. and tshirt dresses.

Overalls, how I loved them, but the grommets are too much work and so are the

straps for my fingers and wrists. LOL. I opt for dresses cuz even pulling

pants up some days is hard.....my kids love my dressing style.even tho it was

hard for me to give up my jeans. (LOL I was still wearing blue jeans with big

bells, LOL)

I bought a nice pair of fleece jammies to wear to & from the hospital

for my shoulder surgery. The nurses thought they were so nice! They

are lightweight but warm and button down the front so I don't have to

pull the top over my head.

I found some really nice jeans at Blair--they have a drawstring

waist, but it is with about a 2-3 inch soft fabric casing so that it

doesn't bind around the waist (where many of those nasty tumors love

to gather!) I just wish they had them in different colors.

I see all kinds of people out and about in pajama pants and fleece

boots, and I think it is hilarious as the kids protest against

wearing uniforms to school, but then they like to dress alike...

For added comfort, my new favorite shoes are slip-on Skechers, and

they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn--plenty of support

and style but easy to get on and off.

I've started physical therapy, definitely not fun but I will keep up

with it to get my arm back into good shape. There was a woman there

yesterday who refused to do anything--she is still using a walker 5

months after knee replacement. The therapist said she is well-

healed, but just afraid to do anything that might hurt.

Well, off to my pulleys, a cup of chai, and time with my babies

tonight (Little Bekah said Monday night, " careful with Nonny's owie! " )

yes the shoulders can be tricky. I tore my rotator cuff a few years ago and UG

over the head shirt were impossible, but my fingers balk at buttons....

I would be WAY too warm in fleece anything- but I just got my 2 teen girls some

fleece PJ pants at Kohls that they LOVE! One pair has Happy Bunny on them, one

pair has cookie monster and the other pair I think is Thumper from Bambi? hey

also had Pooh characters on some and they were on sale for a nice price.

Gosh our pulley is still up in our living room, LOL- after my shoulder, my

husband wrecked his in a motorcycle accident and the pulley is still there from

him.

After school today we are doing birthday party for my oldest. (minus my husband

who remains in hospital, now they found blood clots) SO we have cake and

presents etc. I hope then we can curl up and just rest.
