I did too much yesterday. Got up feeling kind of off, but went ahead and pushed through. I know better and am paying for it today.

Awww Liz .... I’m guilty of just doing far to much and paying for it.

Hope your pain eases quickly !

Hey !

I have numerous things going on

I was on the Enbrel shot for over a year and it kept me psoriasis clear and greatly helped my PsA.

Well I have a huge out break of psoriasis , totally new places, right eyebrow and my lady parts!!! omg I know right !! My inflammation rate had been slowly climbing up so it’s no surprise that Enbrel just pooped out on me.

Anyway my rheumatologist is switching me over to Humira. Apparently it can be a very painful shot. Not overjoyed with that bit, but if it helps I’ll suffer through it.

My GP told me to take Mucinex 600mg twice a day, apparently it is shown to help Fibro pain in many legit studies. I’ve just started it consistently last week , so I’m hopeful. If nothing else it will keep me from getting congested lol

(*(*(*(*Christina*)*)*)*) It's so disappointing when meds poop out. I hope the shot is not painful.

Outbreak on your lady parts! OMG!

Yes .. there. Of. All. Places.

The steroid ointment medication is helping albeit to slow in my opinion.

I also have a one month trip to Florida coming up ... it’s a long story but will be staying with friends for 3 weeks and I’m just losing my mind at the thought of being gone so long , my whole routine that helps keep my bipolar stable will be gone.

I grew up in Florida. I know what August and September weather is ... our friends usually keep there ac on 80, yes I’m going to die, I’d actually prefer to die before this trip even happens.

Good Morning, Fibro Friends ... Gentle Hugs For All That Need One (Including Me!) ...

I've been wondering ... If it does turn out that I have Lupus instead of Fibro, will it be okay to continue participating in this thread since chronic pain and fatigue are part and parcel, or would y'all prefer I start a different thread?

Appreciate y'all's honesty on how you feel about it ...

,
Pfrog!

Pfrog!!!! You most certainly have to stay put!

This is a sucky observation I have made over the years but I’ve never met someone with Lupus that doesn’t also have Fibro

When I first stumbled onto this forum I thought I just had Fibro but nope now I also have PsA... so pain is pain and I find posting here for support is most comforting.

Sorry I’m not a daily poster but sometimes if I post about it it makes it worse, stupid eh?

@~Christina ... Thank you too! ...

And I don't think it's stupid that sometimes it makes it worse to post or talk about it.

When it hurts, everything hurts - even talking about it!

Fibro, aka the irritable everything syndrome, is effecting my digestive system. I had pb&j for supper hoping it would not upset things. This truly stinks.

Well my pain level Fibro wise is ridiculous.

My insurance company is still “ processing” the pre auth for Humira for my PsA for 2 weeks.

My husband is very ill and will likely need to be admitted to the hospital tomorrow.

I picture many nights sleeping in a hospital chair.

So emotionally I’m really struggling which of course will make all the physical things worse.

Note to self - YOU ARE NOT 20 ANYMORE YOU EDJIT!!!!!

I was not in my office yesterday. Got there today to discover someone had been going through my stuff. Thank heaven I had my laptop and client charts with me. I ended up packing most of my personal stuff and hauling it out to my truck. Then I shifted my furniture around. I'm muscle sore from it. I feel a flare building. Maybe, if I live long enough, one day I'll learn not to do this sort of foolishness.
