I figure if I bemoan the bad times, the least I should do is say “thank you” for the good ones.
I had a marvellous weekend. It has to do, I believe, with the addition of folic acid to my mix of prescriptions. I now have my energy back and for the first time in probably years, I felt really good.
My husband and I went to see Cowboys and Aliens (which is a rollicking good time if you like those types of movies) followed by dinner. I felt like enjoying life, which is 180 degrees from feeling like staying in bed with the covers over your head.
I know that RA is a temperamental beast and that tomorrow I could be curled up in pain in the middle of the flare. But right here, right now life is good.
If this post has a point, it’s find a rheumatologist that will listen to you, then talk to them about what bothers you. If I hadn’t discussed the significant fatigue I’d been experiencing since starting Arava with my doctor, she would have not known to prescribe the folic acid. RA truly is a journey and you need to share it with someone you trust.
I hope your life today is filled with good things as well. Thanks for checking in.
So happy to hear you are feeling better. My husband and I often do movies and dinner and that is one of our favorite dates! Can’t wait to see Cowboys and Aliens…we both love action films…Captain America was very good too if you are looking for another adventure film. all the best, Nan
We definitely have to celebrate every little success we have! Yay to you for feeling good and celebrating it.
