Help What Can I do

[Guest guest]

I am going to make this short. I hardly post, just read. But I need

help someone who understands. I lay in bed all day yesterday in soo

much pain hands swollen so tight I can hardly bend my fingers. I

literally wanted to die I was hurting so bad (any tips would be

helpful for a flarfeup that bad. But then my DH who was home all day

with me. Came to bed to remind the last time we had sex. I wanted to

strangle him. Now mind you we are newlyweds. He knew whta he was

getting into. I need some advice. I am setting her crying now. I have

a call into my rheumo, he should call back soon. Thanks so much...

Oh sweetheart, my heart goes out to you. I don't have advice for you

but wanted to respond so you know there is someone here and thinking

about you. I'm so glad you have called the doc. Hang in there and I'm

praying and thinking of you. Ignore that hubby. Sometimes no matter

how supportive they just don't get it and do something totally dumb.

Please let us know how you are doing, okay? I will stay checked in

today more than usually so just write to me if you need.

Positive thoughts, prayers and support going out to you.

Holly,

The swelling in the hands for me; I either need a diuretic or I need to drink

water. I have an Rx for the diuretic but I do believe there is one in Midol.

Past that, I'd tell the doctor and see what they think.

>When I get that way, I had help or crawled to the bath and just

soaked in it. It seemed to draw out the toxins out of my body... Scrub

the bottom of your feet when your body starts to calm down in the

bath. Then I also use 800mg IB PRO and Aspercreme oder free and works

the best from all I have tried. if that does not help me I goto the E.R.

as for Your husband ..I believe that is part of the Fibro monster that

pops in them when were down and out. I did have a talk to mine and he

still did it..so yes when he had the flu one year... I was feeling

okay and I jumped on the bed plus made sure the big dog did too and

said; " come on honey I will make you feel better like you say to me

lets see if it works " ..well, to my surprise he said ok! haha so

getting him back won't do nothing. He now comes and lays by me and

rubs a gental touch all over me and puts on calm sounds to ease my

mind and body..he did get the point I made when I jumped on the bed up

and down with dog and took it to his brain head Just know your not

the only one and glad to have this place to know that

I just took a hot bath and when i start to sweat i

heat it up a bit more, then i get out and just put a

robe on. it helps me alot when i have swelling and

feel like a puffer fish.

it also helps a bit with aches.

as for the hubby who keeps the calendar on the last

time , just say " where was that in the vows? in

sickness and health was there but i don't remember in

sex and lets keep count "

>Holly, I really feel for you, you are so young to be living with

this monster. I used to live in NC and my hands hurt terribly, I

filled a cotton sack with rice (uncooked of course) would heat it in

a microwave for about a minute and wrap my hands in that the heat

would help ease the pain for a few minutes. I have moved to Colorado

the altitude and the lack of humidity have really helped my joint

pain. Unfortunately, I feel weather fronts much more acutely here.

I don't know how to help you with getting your husband to

understand. I now have an ex, and have no desire to try another

relationship. Don't let that happen to you. It is so hard to get

understanding for our illness, so easy to feel guilty and inadequate

when we can't keep up physically & socially. You are in my prayers
