Rheumatoid Arthritis Symptoms Don't Rule My Aud Life

I really do not have a tremendous amount of content today either in my blog or my stomach. Yesterday morning I awoke with a sore throat and painful joints, the painful joints are usual, but the throat thing was new. At the office I was chilled and not my usual happy self, but I forced myself to perk up for lunch because I was meeting two of my closest girlfriends for lunch at my favorite restaurant. I was hungry and figured that maybe that was my problem. But after lunch I knew there was more to this story.

On the way home I had to stop at my mother’s to use her bathroom, all that nice sesame crusted chicken and raspberry creme brule- gone in a flush! But I felt a little better and made it home in time for the girls coming in from school. I was able to finish preparing supper (good thing I started it the day before) but I couldn’t stand to look at it! And smells…gag! I was steam cleaning the living room when my husband came home because I could “smell” something in that room and I had to get rid of it! No body else could smell it- but I knew it was there!

My husband took the steam cleaner from my hands and guided me off to bed. I took my usual meds, plus some anti-nauseate pills and nodded off to sleep fairly early.

This morning was worse than the morning before with a pounding   head and joints a flaming. I was “Monster Mommy”, stumbling around and moaning like Frankenstein’s monster- I also noticed a similar green tinge to my skin as well! Putting lunches together, while trying not to barf, was my skilled talent for the day and I quickly bolted for the bathroom as soon as I could.

Three hours later, after crying “Why me?” to ‘Ralph’ on the gigantic porcelain phone I emerged and dragged myself to bed with a cold cloth and bowl to hug. After a few hours of sleep with nightmares of having my stomach given as an offering to the giant toilet god, I feel pretty good! Fever has broken and so far some water and cereal has been kept in place. My joints are very, very sore still and usually they stay painful for a few days until the virus is completely gone. But, hey!! I’m no longer staring down a toilet and that’s always a good thing.

I hope everyone else is germ free and enjoying their food!
