Hi all,
I am disappointed & upset to be posting this. Over the last week my joint & muscle pain has returned. I had a cold prior to Xmas but it wasn't so bad. We went to Spain on the 28th & all was well until Jan 2nd, the day before we returned home.
I had a faint rash & problems with my mouth - ulcers, blood blisters etc. The day we flew home I had joint pain & hubby said I just didn't seem 'all there'. I haven't returned to work since.
The pain has increased & I'm just whacked out. I seem to have more joint involvement this time from my toes right up to my shoulders. I was sleeping 10 hours a night when we were away which is unusual as I'm a bad sleeper but I just thought I needed the rest. I'm also doing the weird brain fog thing with the fridge. Some of you may remember my posts of last year that I put strange things in the fridge like sanitary towels, phones etc. :hehe:
I've been so well since last May but was always scared the pain might return. I didn't realise how much pain I was in until it left me. Hubby thinks I've over done things all in with my job, family & going to the gym.
I've got a docs appointment to check things out & will go back for some accupuncture to help with the pain as I can't find any pain relief at the moment.
The other problem I had today was explaining to my boss - she is really good but I don't think she fully understands. I only told her about the joint pain as I felt anything else would be too much for her to comprehend over the phone.
Thanks for the vent guys.
