Hi Jenny

I forget other people can't sleep, the past few nites have been awful for me.
After cooling myself down, tower fan on I popped my ipod music on quietly on repeat. Its ok until one ear phone pops out when I've turned over and awake enough to scramble around in the dark for the missing earphone!

Sometimes I drift off with one ear phone in not aware of the other falling out! I clip the ipod on front top of my nighty so I don't worry about layin on it!

I wish I could have a massage man on stand by to help me drift off!

Good luck for your appointment.

Hiya

I have not had steriod injection in thumb.
Only steriod injection in my thigh or bum!
My blood is every month - checks for ra inflamation markers and my thyriod junction.

I say, new laptop!
I use my phone a lot, easier to hold.
Asked my hubby if I can have a look at the ipad mini next month see if my fingers can use it, if not I carry on on my phone!

I started back on methtrix friday............roll on a few months!

Sad you don't get sick pay, off off sick - 8 weeks paid, got a sick note, says ra flare, not foot op. This is my first sickness in three years. I don't feel under pressure to return to work, but the phone calls from superviser are the same conversation each week! She does not "get it" or listen.

Take care

Hi all,

So ive been back from florida for a few days now. I had a great time, and was in a lot less pain! Maybe it was the weather, maybe my body decided to give me a break, or maybe the mxt has started working. But whatever it was im so thankful :) the only problems i had were the flight, i couldn't get of the plane when we arrived - so stiff and swollen, i took that long my luggage was of the carasel when we got to that bit! So at check in on the way home they booked me a wheel chair to get in of the plane, but it never turned up! So i just hung on to my boyfriend and walked weirdly.

But annoyingly the last 2 days i've been in agony, i guess another flare. :( Maybe my doctor will give me a prescription for a holiday? (but minus the long flight!)

Hope everyones doing ok xxx

Hi Jen - so glad you had a good time in Florida - you must tell us all about it. Shame about the stiffness on the flight -only solution is to keep moving about, wriggling my feet and hands has become so much part of me that it's almost a nervous tic, I don't notice I'm doing it which must look strange to anyone who doesn't know me.
