Hi all,
Looking for a little reassurance I suppose...I'm feeling pretty low I have 2 year old twins and a 4 year old. I have psoriatic arthritis, started with severe aches and pains 6 weeks after twins were born, literally went from being pretty active to crawling in bed on my elbows and unable to walk without being in pain. I was diagnosed quickly and treated with methotrexate and sulfalazine. The methotrexate made me really sick so after nearly 2 years or persevering with it, I came off it. I am now waiting to go onto biologics (Adalimamub) Im hoping it will arrive in the next few weeks. My husband is pinning all our hopes this is going to work and change everything, but I'm nervous incase it doesn't help the way he thinks and the side effects.
I have gone back to extreme fatigue, painful joints all over and my psoriasis has gone a little out of control since christmas.
Just feeling like an awful mum as I'm in pain or to exhausted to play and entertain. Feel guilty I can't give my all to the kids. They don't get free hours from nursery until next January, (we can't afford to put them in sooner)but feel like this would benefit them and me for at least a day or two a week
We don't have much support as my parents are working and husbands family live abroad. I just feel like I'm failing them and my husband. Just feel totally burnt out. Anyway hoping to hear some success stories from anyone in similar situation?? Sorry for long post! Iv never posted on one of these before. Please be kind haha.
