    It’s taken me so long to finally listen to my body and rest when I need it. I used to feel guilty for doing that. I don’t have RA but a few autoimmune diseases that I have body pain all the time, fatigue is unbearable. Now I do things when I feel decent but I don’t overdo it because I know I’ll be down for a few days if I do! I wish you well in your journey and new way of living!

      Good advice unfortunately RA affects the entire body, including at its worse the internal organs. The pain is unbearable without a treatment plan as the immune system attacks itself.

    For RA a person needs to take an anti inflammatory along with other meds. I take Diclofenac twice a day and I have since I was diagnosed. I also take Omeprazole for my stomach.

    It stinks Mikey! I started on 6 pills of Methotrexate once a week. I was miserable. Same as you with pain and sick.Awful stomach. The rheumy switched me to injections and for me almost instantly noticed a positive difference and I pray this will be the same for you!!

      It;s not that bad. Are you injecting? The epi pen is really not bad. After a week or so, you don't really even notice it. Same with finger sticks. Just go for it. The hardest part is taking away about half the foods we live on - bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, fruit. Meat, salad and veggies is all you have left and they have even limited meat for me. I feel like a rabbit.

    My husband has RA and has had it since 2014. Doctors took forever to even diagnose what was wrong. He takes some of the same meds as you, but also takes a shot in his stomach every two weeks. He struggles every day and lost a lot of weight. He does keep moving and tries to do all he use to, but sometimes he pays for it later with extra pain and swelling. Wishing you the best

    I get all of the healthy snacks I already enjoy, have good shelf life, and know I will consume. I eat mostly high mineral foods for my body tension concerns: Raisins, cashews, pecans, pistachios, fig newtons, pretzels are a good source of b vitamins if you can have gluten and don't want to eat too much grain carbs. dried fruits I enjoy, such as, apricots, craisins, I cook a lot and Kirkland herbs and spices are good. I transfer them to glass jars though, because that forever plastic can make them go stale quicker. Batteries. Socks. T-shirts - I get the biggest I can find and they make comfortable house-dresses for me.

    I took 6 methotrexate then 8 (1x week) always felt like some foggy flu sickness the next 2 days. Then it was fine, then it was time to take it again. Im not on it any more. My rheumatologist tried infusions. They worked ok. , but its so weird, today i have energy, tomorrow ill be flat out in bed. I never know when ill have energy or not, hard to plan ahead. People have seen my good days, and unfortunately people who never dealt with autoimmune issues called me lazy on the days i was in bed hurting all over. I just plug-along no matter what. Thank you for sharing your illness and positive vibes.

    Methotrexate injections caused me to have acute diverticulitis. I had to have 12” of intestines and rectum removed. Switched my meds and was diagnosed with breast cancer. These drugs are tough! I wish you the best. Communication with Dr is key. Praying every day for you is not as difficult. Make the most of the good days, but don’t overdo, Mickey! Take time to rest whether you think you have the time or if you feel like you don’t need it. Exercise. Crazy you hurt like the devil and they tell you to exercise.

    Mikey, I'm so sorry about what you are going through. Have you considered a rec center? I'm in Canada, but if you look around you can find ones with a pool, jacuzzi, steam room, and sometimes more. There are also float rooms. I have not tried them yet, but the folks I have chatted with are of two schools. One hates them and bails, the ones that have stayed said it was so peaceful and relaxing.

  • @AnnVelummylum-ec5gp
    @AnnVelummylum-ec5gp Год назад +1

    You mention your hands a lot, so I think that is where you experience the most pain.....do hand exercises with a stress ball, squeeze it, if that is too painful, cut the ball in half and do that while watching tv, reading, etc. Don't forget to get between your fingers, you want to keep all those joints moving so they don't lock up. Another good hand exercise is touching your thumb to each finger tip and do that for as long as you can. It's keeps everything moving and your hands won't become crippled from RA.

  • @catchatigerbythetail
    @catchatigerbythetail Год назад +1

    I lay my phone on top of my hand to give it a break sometimes, but you have to be careful and not drop it. I take all my methotrexate at once with the folic and food every Monday night at bedtime so i sleep through the worst of the symtoms. And eat again upon waking to calm down the nausea. Hope this helps.

    You and Super Cort are both so well loved Mikey. I hate that you are going through this right now, but I love your positive attitude. I have been a diabetic for about five years now and I give my self a shot in the stomach every night before I go to bed. I use the nano needles which aren't as long as the regular needles, but even the longer ones are very fine. Those are the ones I started out with. I was petrified the first time I had to give myself a shot, but it was a piece cake. I was so surprised when it didn't hurt. It really didn't hurt. I know you can do it too. I wish you only the best and I will keep you in my prayers.

    Mikey.. I have had arthritis since I was a child. It has progressed so fast that I couldn't walk. I see a new Rheumotologist he does trigger point injections every 6 weeks, with a Toradol injection. Huge difference! I also get a Toradol injection every two weeks.. No oral meds, they made me so sick and I got an ulcer...No sugar! it causes inflammation. You just need to push the Doctor, and advocate for yourself. The insurance will cover your injections because you did everything prior (a paper trail so to speak) Good Luck Mikey it gets better! 💜
