This Week…

This past week has been bad. Every morning my hands have been the worst in terms of mobility. I can barely put on my on damn socks they hurt so bad. Once I sit down, its a battle to get back up under my own power due to my knees and ankles. The pain meds I have been taking are not working as well as they normally should since I have been taking them for years now and my body has built up an immunity to them so now I have to take double the amount I would normally take to get the same effect to take the edge off. My next appointment I am going to try and get different pain meds and alternate between the two so that they may work better. Also going to try and get my doctor to up the corticosteroids. I can’t believe I am still sane after all I have been through so far…

Every morning for the past few weeks, it has been very difficult to get mobile. My doctor even gave me higher doses of pain meds. I am back to the point where I can not put on my own socks with out being in a lot of pain due to my hands and ankles being so stiff and swollen. I am no longer on Embrel and can not afford any of the new meds for arthritis. I am just taking pain meds, anti-inflammatory meds and steroids along with Prozac for depression and pain. The pain that I feel now is normally reserved for the winter months.
My morning Pain Rating is about 6 or 7 on a scale of 1 to 10. Evening Pain is around 3 or 4 for the past few weeks. I don’t see this getting any better. This royally sucks.
