I have an extremely painful, chronic condition that is prone to flare ups. The docs have reviewed and think it may be lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. My ribs swell up and push out, causing lumps on the bone and loss of use in my arms and fingers. Its very, very painful and I am in the midst of a particularly bad flare up right now.
We have just moved to a new area and made friends with our new neighbours. One side is having a bbq today for their ds's birthday and we are invited. Woke up this morning unable to lift my arm or turn my head. I'm having difficulty breathing and a cough has reduced me to tears. I have a cold and my shoulder keeps clicking and my ribcage is bruised. I asked dh to take ds and go without me. I feel awful and am in too much pain. He has gone but is in a mood.
He has been looking after me all week and always does a great job but he is getting fed up now, I don't blame him, but I can't help this and would be no fun.
Should I have gone?
