Just venting a bit! Been in bed feeling wiped out since Thursday evening with temperatures of up to 38:8- does come down with paracetamol thankfully to mid high 37... just feel rough and bit sorry for myself! GP on Friday said was viral... may turn to flu in next 24 hrs, but don’t think it has (as I’m able to post on here, must be improving!) feel rubbish but can still function- just! Pleased I’ve not got to take any more antibiotics... yet have niggle in my mind something else will crop up!
Awaiting rheumatology dept to call back about whether to take methotrexate on Monday. Trying to drink loads of water and keep on top of temperature.
Just wondered if anyone else has RA and fed up of this winters endless bugs?

My sympathies OP. I know someone who also suffers from this and I know it really really affects her at times Flowers hang on in there and go easy on yourself.

Thank you, I’m lucky I can take it so easy this weekend. Still not shifted far from bed! Hoping tomorrow will have bit more energy!
