Hi all

I have had a manic week; I’ve hardly been at home so the housework has slipped a little. Well me being me hates using crutches and was only going 10 steps to get a pen left them behind, I had to go around a ride on toy and one minute I thought I was able to side step it next min, I’m on the floor, hit my left hip full pelt! My left wrist is killing me and swelling nicely as I type, and my left ankles not weight baring very well and my knee is ouchy too, but I can’t hold 2 crutches as my left wrist is too painful.  I can’t sit for the shooting pains and the joints are moving so much.

I feel like a fool but I’ve done it many times before and I don’t know what I’ve did wrong. I went down so hard I couldn't breathe or talk for a while my dp was asking questions and trying to hold me....  I was meant to be going out to run some errands but now I’m sofa bound and I’m struggling to get the kids ready for bed.... he's had to go out to work and has done all he can for me before hand and is running the errands when he finishes.

I feel like pants and I’m so glad I picked up my repeat prescription earlier as I defiantly need the strong stuff now. How can things hurt so much, I’ll never know!

Argh hope tomorrow is better.

gentle hugs hun,

poor you. i was feeling sorry for myself the earlier as i slipped in the kitchen and though i didn't fall i jarred everything and really feeling it. in fact the walk to school had to be supplemented by a neighbour driving me and a friend taking katie and i waddled back home flung myself on sofa then dh pops back from work on a break to find me sat down. he's cool about it, well, to my face, but i am feeling really mad and guilty about it. how can i explain what is going on when even i don't understand my own body and what is happening. so much needs doing and i want to do and to lose a day to pain really upsets me. i guess though i can't feel sorry for myself as you are really going through it and what i am experiencing is not as bad. i wished there was something i could do. i am down road in histon so if you need anything PM me and i'll get to you somehow and see what i can do to help.

i mean it call me. i'vwe dosed up so should be better in an hour and then i'll come help.

take care

love

sarah

Awww Sarah hun thanks so much for the offer but i'm doing ok.... somehow we find the strength to go on... don't ask me how we just do.

The pain does have me in tears that i'll not deny but lo has just gone down for a nap and i'm going to go sit on a chair and go though paper work and de-junk bits that have seemed to grow.

Same goes for you though, i know madz is away now but if you want to get together give us a buzz and i'll be there.

Hugs all round i think x

that's great. i will definitely take up on offer. how about next week sometime? i've got my meeting on tuesday at work so after that i'm around.

i'm stuck on same meds dr won't bother with any stronger, i have been directed to one four times a day of co'codamol but have been having two as they are 30/500mg and i know that i can so of course go through them quicker so i can't have any more till that time has elapsed. i knpw i'd give my right arm for some pain relief that works. i am sick of having the tens suggested when i've told them it doesn't work and yet they don't listen.

ho hum, i'm starting to moan again. sorry. i guess i'm still feeling sorry for myself. will have to stop typing as wrists hurting today! pathetic eh?!

Awww hun don't worry about moaning your entitled to...  my wirsts have gone too it's normal with hypermobile joints etc.

I'll pm you with dates etc and the get together sounds good but on one condition! You don't rush around trying to do housework.... i can't stand clean clean houses.... lived in is more my style! x
