Rheumatoid Arthritis - Fybromyalgia

When I woke up this morning, I knew I was in trouble. I'd been unually tired, cranky and headachy the last couple of days but this morning I woke with a burning and tingling sensation that worked it's way from my left buttock down the whole leg. I knew the signs right away having had them often enough over the last 15 years or so. It is a flare up of Fybromyalgia and Rheumatoid Arthritis. Once it starts there's not much I can do except ride out the pain as best as I can. Right now the headache is raging and I know it's not a migraine so the usual drugs won't work, and every joint in my body aches.

Back to bed with heat, Tylenol 3's and Diflunisal for at least two days or so before this resolves itself. I hope I feel better as we have our monthly bridge get together and I hate to miss is. At least there's the Olympics to watch on T.V. God, I hate being sick.
