Back Into Hell

[jiml]

Have requested a bed wedge, a pressure mattress and District Nurse is contacting OT to come visit. Made it to my Tuesday appointment but the pain was unbearable and I broke down. :(
The Derm Nurse took over and dressed my feet ( I now look like a Hobbit LOL). Have to say, I have been a bit more comfortable for the last couple of days.
They've upped the MTX to 15mg which I have to take on Monday. I keep looking for signs of improvement. It's so slow and I am going nuts here.
I am an avid book reader but have never read this many in such a short space of time.
My rag rug is coming along ( although I do have to wear fingerless plastic gloves now ).
The good news is that my O/H has been offered a job with the local council. Proper wage. So it has taken the pressure off me going back to work full time.
And Family Fund have awarded us a grant for a short break this year. It's going to be much needed.
Just need to keep counting my blessings ( and taking the Tramadol ).  

oh Brighteyes I feel for you ....a pressure mattress is a good idea as you don't want sores as well .. I hope the methotrexate starts to give you relief soon, although you say you have been a bit more comfortable, perhaps it's staring to work ... 15mg is that six tablets?  Or are you injecting it
A glimmer of hope for you as the other half now has a job and taken one stress away. Enjoy planning the short break it may help to make you feel more positive ... Oh and of course the Tramadol will certainly help
I have every thing crossed for you that you get relief soon
