Things to keep us going

Well it has been 13 weeks now since I had to stop taking Methotrexate (due to reoccurrence of chest infections) and oh have I noticed lately I am not on any medication.

Fatigue and stiffness in the hands and feet has been the biggest notice. I have been finding that my hands and feed are getting a lot stiffer and sore quicker, which is leading to some days being unable to move completely.

For instance – Thursday just gone I had nerves along my shoulder blades locked and muscle spasms down my spine. Which in turn resulted in both my hands clasping shut which made it difficult to eat a meal or hold a drink.

This disease is horrible and takes away you advantages of a normal life as you never know when the next flare will occur, how long it will last and how it will affect to do the simple things we take for granted.

When I am feeling good – I do try and put my mind and soul in to something to keep me occupied. My usual type of therapy to keep me going is to bake – which with the help of aids within the kitchen I am able to. I find it is my way of coping with daily stresses with this disease and something to keep me active along with brightening up a gloomy day.
