so sorry you having a rough time….maybe its time to change meds again? Are you on prednisone? Maybe a high dose of prednisone for a couple of days and then taper down will help. Hope you feel better soon.

Maybe the extra stress of preparing for visitors is taking a toll on your body. I notice even the fun stress can make me sore. Relax and let everyone take good care of you. Sending healing thoughts.

Anxiety doesn’t help us, and I have had my own scary (and often crippling) RA dreams. There will be always be bad days, you are not alone. In addition to people who understand your struggles, there are those who may not, but love you matter what. I have to remind myself on my bad days and sometimes, you can be hard as I watch my life change and it is out of my control – but I remind myself how blessed I am. You are blessed too, don’t doubt it.

You always surprise me with your resilience in the face of this painful, limiting and sometimes humiliating disease. Many times in the past my hands were so bad that I needed help with basically everything; it is truly humbling to find oneself so totally reliant on others. And frightening, too.

Your strong and hopeful attitude (and the attitudes of the other bloggers and commenters here) give me so much hope, RA Guy. When the rheuma came back after such a long, long remission I’ll admit I was devastated inside. I didn’t say much to anyone, but I was anxious. I still am — but less so than I might have been, had I not come across your blog.

Thank you for that. I hope that this awful flare in your hands will ease off very soon. And I’m sending all the courage and calm I can muster through the ether in your direction. Take care, friend.

Sometimes things are darkest before the dawn, so hopefully this is the worst that it will be for a while & you can look forward to better days. I hope so. That 2nd dream sounds like a wonderful future project for you!
