Subject: Had enough today. Pain & tiredness

The last 3-4 days hands, feet, middle & little fingers & knee are so bloody sore. I'm exhausted. Going to bed at 6.30pm then getting up at 6am and having to go back to bed at 10.30.

I'm bad tempered, feeling low & very weepy & angry with myself that I can't seem to stick to my diet & my anxiety is terrible.

I've got my rheumatology appt tomorrow & I'm starting
methotrexate.

Sorry for complaining but I'm feeling lost. When I try to explain to hubby all he says is 'awwww babe'.


gahhhhhhh

Thanks Colin. I had a steroid injection 8 weeks ago and it did nothing unfortunately.

Hi Rachael, know how you feel. I'm on mtx. My hands and wrists and feet come to that are bloody sore and achy today. Could be the weather! Steroid injection didnt do much for me either. I felt low on monday, but a few replies on here cheered me up, you know your not alone. Good luck tomorrow, hope they sort you out.

good luck tomorrow Rachael, I hope they give you something to help with the pain ... I know how you feel - I've now been off work since last August with the RA ... nothings worked for me either ! I'm starting Abatacept injections on Friday so fingers crossed ! ... the way I'm looking at it is that arthritis might be winning the battle at the moment ... but it isn't going to win the war !!! ... hope you feel better soon ..take care xx
