We can’t have our super ra guy down and out for too long. I look forward to your blog posts. One would think with ra our immune systems could fight off the world but with alot of the dmrads our systems are suppressed and I think we can get a worse case scenerio of what others seem to handle more easily. You just keep on keeping on and doing your normal ra thing. And welcome back to the “normal” ra world.

What hurts me is my husband had knee replacement a week ago. He was supposed to go to a rehab facility, partly on my behalf but also because my husband has diabetes and other health issues and weighs 290lbs. Well they sent him home on a Monday (a holiday). I had to get my daughter and her boyfriend to help get him in the house. They didn’t arrange for rehab, only home health, and sent him home with diarrea. We had no special toilet for him to use so you can imagine how exhausted I had become. So when I woke up this morning in a sweat and chilled, I knew what was coming next. Diarrea seems to escalate every other symptom of RA and true, fatigue doesn’t even begin to describe how I felt.

I think I had food poising and the term I used was “hit by semi” because that’s how bad I hurt. Every night tears every mornig more tears. Now o just want the tummy troubles to go away, so I too can back to living with RA!

Your mentioning your stomach bug, reminds me that I am travelling to Germany next Tuesday to see my family, and I am rather scared of that horrible new strain of e.coli outbreak over there at the moment, and it´s the region where I will be going, North Germany (I´m sure you heard about that on the news). However, I am trying to stay positive and just use my common sense and extra super heroine hygiene (and avoiding the foods they recommend not to eat etc.), so wish me luck that my weakened immune system will stand this test! :)

I think the word that would best describe your state of fatgue might be lethargic.

Thanks,

Arlene
