still pretty sore

have a great day all

Tammy

when i'm in a bad flare, the AS is unbearable!  right now it is terrible to sit because the lower spine and the tailbone hurts so bad.  before i went on DMARDs, opiates and steroids barely touched the pain.

and of course when our backs and spine aren't right...of course the legs will hurt.

hope you get your Xrays soon and some better treatment to control it.

i use a heating pad as well to get some comfort.

if you're getting dizzy when you close your eyes, it could be a number of things. vertigo, blood pressure, fluid in the ears, postural dizziness or even preceding a headache, low blood sugar, your sinuses, inner ear problems, nerves........
bring it up @ the docs, if it's bothersome it needs looking into. could maybe even be one of the meds making you have nausea & dizziness. it's worth bringing up.

if the meds aren't benefitting you, may be time for a change! it's frustrating i know.

well, the rain is kicking my butt too!  been takin a beatin for the past month with the rain.

please take care of yourself & try to avoid driving during these dizzy spells!
when you turn your head to the sides or look up do you get dizzy or lose balance???
also, get up slowly from sitting too.
there is a liquid anti emetic called "EMETROL" @ drugstores. it's cherry flavored (and for kids by the way!    ) and that has helped me in the past with nausea; and it's quite yummy!! not too expensive. i took it when i was on antibiotics that made me want to hurl!!! so if the queeziness gets to ya, check it out.
what also is good for nausea is ginger. ginger ale, gingersnap cookies. marshmallow (like Fluff!)
hope you feel better.
