"Im back! Sorry for the hiatus, Im a “covid longhauler” and have been dealing with the residual effects from that...But, it is Arthritis Month and I have been blasting facebook with facts & photos about awareness. 😁😁😁"
!! 🥰 Noooo I'm so sad to read that you got COVID. There needs to be a rule that no-one should have to deal with anything else on top of the PsA! Are you holding up okay? 💖 Good job on the awareness stuff!! -Catherine, Community Moderator im doing alright with the post covid stuff.....just having a tough time with tendonitis now. Both tendons in left arm, left leg, & bursitis in right hip! So a boot & a brace thing & cortisone yay! Hi @jdubb187, you have been through so much! I hope you can rest a bit and the brace and cortisone gives you some relief. Sending hugs.
Jill, Team Member, gosh that is a lot 🙁 Hopefully everything you're doing will help calm it all down. Tendonitis is the worst! -Catherine, Community Moderator
"Doing much better this week! Thanks for all the well-wishes! ❤️❤️❤️"
I am so glad to hear this, @Jdubb187! I hope you stay this course and the rest of the week is equally good! Best wishes! – Lori, Psoriatic-Arthritis.com, Team Member
"Tendonitis has reared its ugly head again! 😤😡😭😫"
Tendonitis is so awful, @jdubb187. I wish you could catch a break, you deserve some relief!! Where is the tendonitis? I used to get it so badly in my feet. By the way, I noticed your other comment about feeling cold on Enbrel - it reminded me that one of our team mentioned feeling cold after getting infusions (Leanne's experience is here if you're interested!). Bodies are so strange sometimes! -Catherine, Community Moderator
Right wrist....and right ankle. Ive been working alot more because we were down 2 people In my department so we’ve all been working extra hours. I think that’s just aggravated everything! By Sunday (if I make it) I will have 56 hours in for the week! Luckily I get to sit most of the time but it’s still repetitious, which is not good when you’re having a tendinitis flare. Starting prednisone today so I’m sure I’ll be a monster by the weekend. How did we ever get so lucky to live like this? Just shows how strong we really are!!! Haha!
when my tendonitis is bothering me I started taking 1ibuprofen and 1- 8 hour arthritis acetaminophen and it seems to help
That is one heck of a work week, @jdubb187! I hope the prednisone brings you relief quickly. Best wishes! – Lori, Psoriatic-Arthritis.com, Team Member
Wish i could take anything for pain & inflammation, but i have stomach ulcer issues so i cant. But im glad you found relief and Just remember to eat first!
Gosh what a hectic week, @jdubb187. Yes repetition is not great with tendonitis :/ Hopefully the prednisone kicks in soon and doesn't bring too many side effects with it ! When this week is over you'll have to spend some time working on your couch groove 😉 💖 -Catherine, Community Moderator
"Freezing! I think Enbrel is making me cold! "
Hi Jdubb187! I haven't heard of that as a side effect of Enbrel, but maybe other community members will chime in here with their experiences. Chills can be a sign of fever, however. Have you taken your temperature lately? Keep us posted as to how you are doing. Sending lots of super warm wishes your way! – Lori, Psoriatic-Arthritis.com, Team Member
No fever, just naturally chilly i guess lol. Thx for the warm wishes!
