Mine seems worse at night for some odd reason.
Posted 12/16/2011 5:10 AM (GMT 0)
Mine is usually around 5 pm and later. I have to just stop early and crawl into bed by 9 pm.

Yes, 3pm and later it gets progressively worse.....

Absolutely, by 2 I'm asking my hubby "is it bedtime yet"lol

I try to schedule all appts and do housework for morning. What sucks is when my daughter comes home mom is wiped out. But we do our best

I normally have about 2 times that it seems to act up. I have a hard time getting out of bed due to the pain. After I'm up and moving around the pain eases but hits me again around 7pm'ish.

Mornings until I am able to get up and move around, then evenings after 6ish.

I have small windows as well. From waking (usually early) until about 3-4 hrs after that, I'm o.k. energy wise. Then I crash and need a nap. Then usually after my nap (after the cobwebs clear) I'm alright for another 3 or so hours. I try to schedule all appointments in the morning because I get very tired and fatigued by noon. Then I do most of my housework in the later afternoon after a nap. I have it down to a science lol :) By nightime, I'm pretty beat up and can usually only manage making supper.

I have had constant pain, bruised feeling, hot poker in joints, in my shoulders all the way down to my finger tips. It has not let up for over three days now. Its been so bad I have gotten up during the night to take more meds. And, my fingers are so puffy I am afraid my rings are going to need cutting off. I am sure its the RA I am dealing with and not the fibro, which is a bummer, because I know how to work around the fibro aches, pains and fatigue.

Any suggestions on how to relieve this? Tried meds, heating pad, hot shower, and even gentle massage (for the life of me, I cannot figure out how its spelled).

sorry, should have started new post with this, not sure how to move it.

Morning and late afternoon 5-6 till I go to bed most night I am praying for 9 ish to come.

I'm definately stiff and achy all over when I first wake up. As the day wears on, usually late afternoon,the achiness and fatigue kick in more.

mscrowbar...RA finger joints when flaring feel real spongy...you can even feel warmth from the joints. Anti inflammatories help some and sometimes an immunosuppressant will be prescribed to stop disease progression...it is an autoimmune diseae. It is painful...my original wedding ring can't be worn anymore, it is too small...ring size is now 1 1/2 sizes larger.

Hugs, Robin

I am on prednisone, plaquenil and ibuprophen. Because of my malabsorbtion issues, I do not think that the meds taken by mouth are going to do any good, at least not at the dosage I am on now.

My doc is in a wait and see mode. He said it takes a good 6 months to feel some relief but I have been on plaquenil since July and feel worse as time goes on, not better. The worse is my hands, wrists and elbows. Today, and the last few days, have been really bad.

As far as the Fibro goes, I feel worse in the evenings. I cannot wait fot that decent hour to get dressed for bed and get out all my "comfy" things.

I have a rough start then get better, then go downhill about 1 p.m but sometimes can get to 3-5 pm before it's bad again.

I have a tough time getting up and ready for work until my meds kick in. I take about and hour and 1/2 to get ready now where it used to only take me 1/2 hour. Then later, depending on how stressfull my job is that day and how much I push myself anywhere from 5 on I'm spent. It is all I can do some nights to drive home I'm so tired.

Thought it was just me; I have a hard time getting up and around in the morning time. Once I'm moving I don't like to stop until my chores and what not are done. I do ok once i'm moving, but by about 6:00 the achiness in my legs kick in and it just slowly moves up the body. I wonder why. By 9:00 or so I'm ready for a hot bath, the recliner, then bed. Then the cycle starts all over the next day. Oh the joys

In the morning when I wake up and in the evening. Those are my worst times.

When I wake up (9ish) it's mostly stiffness and some aches. By about lunch time (12ish) I feel like I can start doing stuff, chores, grocery shopping etc. A lot of the time I can only do one chore at a time before I need a rest from the pain. Dishes are killer for me and they only take about 10 minutes and then i'm resting for like 30 min. This is on a bad day though. I have good days that allow me to move around and get more done for a longer period of time but I will say by 4/5 I'm done for the day. If I have evening plans I wont do as much during the day. By 9 RLS sets in and then I know it's bed time. It's like my bed time alarm clock :)

I have a hard time getting started in the morning, then I'm good until about 1 pm and if I get a 1-2 hour nap can make it until 8-10 pm. Just depends how my day is going.

Mornings, I'm stiff as a brick and feel as if I slept on one. Evening, my neck, knees and elbows start aching much worse and kinda spasming

mornings, getting ready for work. Some days it is hard to get going.

Evenings bother me less, because I know bedtime comes soon. Honestly, when I have nighttime rehearsals/meetings, it can be easier, because I am not thinking about it.
