Your too sweet, thank you TayIsa.

tongue :-) smilewinkgrin wink turn turn turn turn turn turn

I'm feeling so much better mentally now thank you, got over all that 'feeling sorry for myself' thing.  Foot still very painful but hopefully in time it will just be bad instead of the dreadful it is now?

Specialist agrees with me No More having any proceedures on it, it's down to drug management from now. Unfortunately he couldn't double up the Mxth as my liver markers are once again up!!!!  Will be seeing him again in 3 weeks and we will make a plan of action going forward and refer me to the pain management clinc also.  He says that I've been through a lot in 2 years and need to spend the next 4 weeks resting and trying to get my head in the space it was before this injection.  Easy to say with a full house renovation and swimming pool being added starting Wednesday and I'm project Manager.  Never mind it will keep me busy.

Take care and Happy Easter

Yikes! well, take it easy Peggy and take care of yourself. Remember to take time out for yourself to keep your stress levels down and know when you  have to say "enough! I have to rest"

Do you have orthodics for your shoes?

Happy Birthday to me.. I turn 48 today.I feel much older at times as i hobble out of bed and look like an elderly lady...stiff and bent over.. Yet a few hours later i am straighter and walking somewhat "straight'... Life goes on with or without me. the depression and constant pain never lets you forget you have this awful disease. On a scale of 1-10 , with 10 being worse. I am usually 8..
after humira I felt better and would dare say I was a 4--Now that is a big improvement. but 4 is still more pain than I want or need.. Why can't I be zero!!

Today is a gorgous day . The weather is so nice and I would love to go for a long walk and enjoy---However, If I did that I would be in agony so here I sit. Trying to think of what I can do today without much added pain.

My family does not get it.My husband feels neglected as I have no "desire" for intimacy matters That is the furthest thing from my mind --but usually the nearsest thing on his,
My youngest son gets frustrated I can't go and Do things I used to.
My house looks like a tornado hit it -as I let so much go. My husband tries to help but it is not the way I would do it. I can not complain or correct him, as then he will not do anything else...
I feel very depressed today......Happy Birthday huh?

Happy Birthday so very tired!! Hope you have a good day.  If you cant go for  a long walk, why not find one thing that you can do that makes you feel good about yourself.  I'm not sure like what.... even if its a chore that you know you have been meaning to do and if you accomplish it will make you feel good. Or get a lawn chair and go enjoy the weather and do absolutley nothing.

At any rate its YOUR day so dont let any illness or people get you down! nono

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear so very, Happy Birthday to you!! {gentle hugs}

Happy Birthday so very tiredsmilewinkgrin

I agree with TayIsa, do something 'gentle' for yourself.

I turned 46 at the end of March and like you feel 100eyes

My mother always gives me money for my birthday, so I went out and bought some nice body creams and bath oils and spoilt myself a few days later with a 'me' day. It was much need and was revitalising:-)

I hope you do something nice for yourselfsmilewinkgrin

Take care

THANKS I HAD A BUSY DAY AND I AM TIRED (OF COURSE)
Did some shopping and some errands had to get some stuff for easter baskets. Even though my 2 sons are old enough --they still will expect something in their baskets.
My feet are throbbing so much-- but the swelling is still better since on Humira. Tomorrow is another day.....

HAPPY EASTER TO ALL OF YOU!!

So very tired - I hope you had a day to enjoy for your bday! I very much know what you are going thru....Everything you said sounds like my life as well....much too often...the house, myself, everything has gone to disaster.  But, if you didn't get a "me" day for your birthday, do insist on one....a day at the spa, a nice dinner out, just some time alone with a good book or good view....

Happy (belated) birthday! wink
