Hi All

I'm delighted that many of you are able to say that "like you, and many others, I will not give in to RA".

On the other side of the coin, there are also many of us who do not have this option. There are those who, due to the severity of the disease and intolerance of the meds are confined to bed; those who have other illnesses in addition to an a-u diseases (MS, cancer, peripheral nerve disease, addisons, diabetes etc) and those who have badly deformed bones which makes life very hard unless you resort to a wheelchair.

Love Jeanx

good one Lizzie

That's very true Jean. The people we know with these dreadful diseases ,and the ones with RA who do not respond to treatment are all trying to fight it too, but it is very hard for them.

oh goodness yes very very hard for those whom medication either isnt working,not suitable react to it or having such things as ms,cancer .
and unable fight off RA fatigue.
gentle hugs to all those we know with such conditons.

This fatigue isnt stopping,after having so long with it so much better i just wish doc get my results soon and not be so hung up on my bloods,my joints are not happy chappies and im feeling concerned.

maybe i can call tomorrow see if they back.
my old gp lookd at my body joints not just bloods.......
melly

Thank you Doreen xxxxx BIG hugs xxxxx

..and Melly hope that your fatigue soon wanes a little and joints start to improve,

i got heavvvy feeling all through my body, very tired....

...looking around counting our little blessings - ....Jess made fairy cakes at school yesterday they were SO light and fluffy - shes a really good little chef - dont know WHERE she got that from!!

Wishing you all a very light and fluffy day, going to imagine myself all light and fluffy, see if that helps, lol xxxxx

& I love this poem - we bought it on a postcard when Sophie was little:

Smile Virus

by Russel H. Conwel

Smiling is infectious;
You catch it like the flu.
When someone smiled at me today,
I started smiling, too.
I passed around the corner
And someone saw my grin
When he smiled, I realized
I'd passed it on to him!
I thought about that smile
And then realized its worth,
A single smile, just like mine,
Could travel round the earth.
So, if you feel a smile begin,
Don't leave it undetected,
Let's start an epidemic quick,
And get the world infected!

Hi
I have just read this last lot of messages
I agree with you Jean
I do go swimming (not all the time) but have found it is good for the RA I fall apart when I start to walk with the MS
I really wish I did not have to give in but some-times I have no choice
take care
