Hi Val, sorry to hear youre feeling so bad. DONT FEEL GUILTY! Ive always felt guilty when Ive had to have time off. I can sit and not be in much pain so feel I should be working, so try to get up and go and am just in too much pain. So Id sit and feel guilty all day. Feeling guilty is a total waste of time and only adds stress (which Im sure you dont need). Get some good films, a hot water bottle and Relaaaaaax...... x

Hi Val, before I went on the MTX my knees used to swell to the point of being rock hard every week. I found that although the pain was really bad, I found the feeling of there being so much fluid just made me feel sick. Really gross feeling lol. Do you ever get this? Or anyone else for that matter!

Subject: Re: blood
Yeah Verity, sometimes my knees feel fit to burst! I especially don't like the feeling of laying in bed, waking up, knowing I've had my knees bent and then realising that I shall at some point have to stand up. That feeling of shifting from a bent to a straight position when your knees are really swollen is horrible, especially when it feels like your knee cap is slipping into place. Ick! Getting shivers just thinking about it!

Subject: Re: blood
Oh Val, thats rubbish. I dont understand how bloods can come out fine when there is blatant swelling! If the meds are making you feel even a tiny bit better Id carry on taking them. Has anyone advised you otherwise? Kat, its bloody horrible isn't it! I think ive found that more daunting than actually getting out of bed sometimes lol

Val thing is, OA. ia wear and tear, I dont know much about all the arthas, but mb if a person, like U, had O.A. there wont be inflamation showing...does that make sense? some peeps with R.A. r seron negative, which means inflamation does not show(blimey hope im right, correct me gang if im worng here)at end of the day Val, O.A. is arhtritis, its premature ageing.....and its as painful as any other artha.....also often peeps with O.A. have replacement joints far quicker than other artha, becos of the wear and tear.....basically Val, U r a Grannny!!! LOLOLOLOL((((HUGS 4 U))))).....Val ask for MRI on hips and knees!! by the way, was due my MRI last nite , guess what, couldnt go....Y? i hear u ask......becos of the Bliddy Constipation!!!!!!! but goood news...Been today after 6 rotten days!!!! yes 6 days....anyway bliddy pisssed right off that i had to cancel, gotta wait now til nxt available appt! blidddy typical!!! anyway val, u keep ya chin up ok, also do u sleep with Pillows between your knees, helps a lot.......I recently bought a memeory foam Topper(cant afford the real deal) lol...its fab!! got it off the Ideal TV shoppping channel....does what it says on the box....my hips are more supported since having that.....anwya tc Valipops xxxxJj

Ok im confused now Val lol...so u have O.A. and Inflamatory artha? Val if that is the case, u need to go on the MTX or Bio meds...since u began coming on here, i hear from your posts that u have become worse, so surely u need more meds and support etc....my MRI I had to cancel, due to a big huge bloated tummy.....was too painful....now awaiting a new appt.....stay well Val x
