BLAH !!!!!!! Mood
Tuesday, April 15, 2008

Shot #9 last night... Tough getting out of bed today and feeling discombobulated. I decided that I was going to try and tough this out without any pain meds. God help me !! Last couple of days my headache has come back :(   It is getting pretty difficult to predict how i'm going to feel one day to the next. Hope to feel better soon, It looks so beautiful outside. My sister called and tried to get me to go for a walk with her, I sure need to, but don't feel up to it. Maybe tomorrow.

   Looking back, last summer was rough for me also. Everyone was enjoying swimming in the pool, and I sat back and watched. The summer before that, I walked or rode my bike everyday. I looked and felt so much better then. Sure need to get back on my game. Dear Lord, please give me the strength to get off my butt and improve my quality of life !!!!!!! Till next time ~Rebecca~

    Don't stop taking pain meds because you just think you can do it. I have found prescription pain meds don't help any more than OTC stuff, and we know which is cheaper. I take advil gel caps, 3 at a time. I have been told the gel caps work faster than regular pain drugs. They don't stop the pain but they take the rough edge off which helps me to function better. When I get headaches I take excedrin aspirin free, it is the ONLY painkiller that helps with a headache. I really think you do need to move. Nothing long or strenuous, just a walk to the corner and back, then next time around the block. Keep it slow if you need too, just put your joints in motion. After living with RA for 12 years I cannot stress enough the importance of keeping your joints in motion. This in turn allows them to work better for you on a daily basis. Well I'll jump off the soapbox now! Feel better hon, today is a bright sunny day and tomorrow it is suppose to be even nicer. ((hugs))marcia
