Re: can't get going/questions

June 23, 2006

Good morning just need to ask does anyone else have a feeling of being

tired all the time, I just cant and dont want to do anything amymore. I

am just getting fatter and fatter every day. I did start Water Exercise

class twice a week and when I get home all I want to do is sit. I did

not even make my bed yesterday and for me that is not right. What Is

Wrong With Me? and how do I fix it? I take all kinds of meds and Enbrel

and I thing I am getting more tired then before.

Sorry for going on just need to vent. hope everyone has a great weekend

and as pain free as they can,

Janet IN IL

Janet,

I am like that EVERY DAY. It is so bad, that it is all I can do to get up and

go to work- which I HAVE to do at this point. I am not on any of the

heavy-duty, common meds prescribed for RA because I haven't seen a Rheumy yet,

but I am on several meds and it kicks my butt. I don't have a solution either,

but it is kind of nice to know I am not alone.

I also have a couple of questions for everyone- do any of you get

precipitators for your flares- I mean, do you have warnings that occur that tell

you a flare is coming on? I ask because I am new to this disease and last

night, I got a low-grade fever, but felt pretty good and today I have new pain

in new places! I just wondered if that fever could be my warning of a flare?

Also, I wondered if those of you who get/have had mouth sores, what are they

like? I have had them twice now and didn't realize they may be connected to the

RA, they are pretty much painless, they just feel like all the skin is kind of

raw and coming off on the insides of my cheeks.

Thanks for reading and any advice/answers!

Kristi
