Rheumatoid Arthritis, Dealing With It.
22 Answers
Hey,
I don't really know where to put this. I'm busy and I'm worried about my partner. She's got Rheumatoid Arthritis and she's in so much pain. I'm concerned and I need help, advice, you name it.
If I can't get the pain levels down then I can see me taking her to hospital.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks,
Dizmo.

Thought I'd drop by and give everyone an update.
All but one set of blood tests have come back negative. They now believe it's an issue with her back and not her legs - even though the pain is in her legs. We're both aware of how a problem could be in one part of the body yet affect a different area completely - or appear so.
Oxycodone is powerful, I am on a higher dose than she is. She took a further 20mg on top of her 15mg's and still no relief. I told her that it wouldn't help, however given the state she was in, I wasn't going to stop her. I've also been on fenyln patches which she has tried before when the pain wasn't anywhere near as bad. No relief there either....
Some times pain relief just isn't the route to take. The pain team have set an appointment up for her however it isn't till July 21st - how handy that is, eh. She's now seeing a physiotherapist who has little to no experience with mental health. A lot of us have been there, in the state of feeling worthless and blaming the NHS is so easy; they said this, they said that. Now I go with her and make sure that her physiotherapist doesn't say anything 'out of term'.
As much as I feel like drowning my sorrows in a pint of vodka, I won't. It's far too easy to end back 'there' *pointing at a life of hospital visits for pancreatitis*, well not this time. All I need to do now is work out how to get to sleep, lol.
Right, I'm off. Hope you're all alright and keeping busy. Take care all.
