Journal Entry for April 29, 2008 Mood
Tuesday, April 29, 2008

Not doing well at all today, started couple days ago, a flare I guess. Yesterday a.m. I dropped my coffee cup twice in the house before leaving for work. Last night I was in so much pain, I was really snappy with everyone and I ended up crying in bed because I was in so much pain throughout my body. My poor hubby asked if he could give me a massage or something but I couldn't bear him touching me at all. I called the rheumy today and they are totally booked-will call if they have a cancellation. What can he do anyway? He'll just give me steroids that I probably won't take...

Sometimes I wonder if my marriage will survive because I am so angry all the time ad it's not his fault, I wouldn't blame him for bailing, I am such a jerk so much of the time.

Hope you guys are doing better than I am today! Love ya's-J

    Well, I understand being in pain and being cranky but sure don't understand not taking the pred which could bring you some relief and then taking your anger out on your loved ones. Had my husband been supportive, kind and understanding I would have been soooooooo appreciative! Shoot - I'd probably still be married! Choose a good day, my friend. xoxox

    Your marriage will be fine! You can't help but feel angry sometimes because the pain is so bad. Been there done that! I have been in your place many times and can feel your pain and anger from last night. It becomes so tiring when you have to deal with all the pain. Just know you will get thru it. Do you use heat or ice? Sometimes one works for me, sometimes the other. I also take excedrin aspirin free and it takes the edge off the pain, enough to help me rest a little. I hope you are feeling better tonight my sweet, I want nothing more for you than to get a good night's sleep. Love you bunches honey...and I am with you! Auntie, M

    Sorry you're in so much pain. It does get frustrating. I know what you mean about getting snappy. Pain just does something to you. I hope tonight is better. Tylenol PM or Naproxene really help me. Take care.

    Oh my little friend! As usual I've been out of town and read your post first. - The thing that helped me the most when I hurt sooo bad was to stand in a hot shower. Stay warm and take whatever you have for pain. I know it seems like this will go on forever, but It will let up! - In the mean time know that I have you in my thoughts and prayers!! Take care. Connie
