Guest guest Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 I know this sounds like a weird question but bear with me.... I have PA and I try and stay as physically active as I can. I go biking and skiing because they are relatively low impact. I had to stop biking because I couldn't handle the potholes, but I found if I am very careful about steering the ride was smooth enough I could do it. Then I got blown over by the wind. NYC had 50 - 60 mph gusts and I was picked and and slammed down. The bike blew out from under me and I fell approx 1 meter, four feet and got a big bruise on my hip and elbow. The Enbrel which had controlled symptoms pretty well, wasn't enough to compensate and I got all red and flaky and arthriticly achey even with shots for the next few weeks. It felt as if the body made more t-cells to cope with the inflammation than the quantity of Enbrel I had injected. As the bruise went away and my hip was less painful the flakiness went away, meaning I was recovering. Does this sound right? Before Enbrel I was completely unable to do anything, and I miss being the athlete I was in college so much. Anyone got any other ideas or perspectives? I hope the disease stays at this level and I wonder if activity could push it back to the levels of 15 years ago when I was in college. Sincerely, PS I hope the new email doesn't confuse anyone on here, but I have been with the group a while. I just don't want to use my regular email on here.
