Sore stiff wrists and fingers.
Pain in knees, ankle and hips.
Lower back and elbows aching.
Knackered. Fed up.
Oh, dry eyes too.

This is cathartic!

Right hip hurts all the time.
Left hip hurts if I over do things.
Run out of energy really quickly.
Both hips hurt more when the weather is wet.
All my dreams feature hard physical work and I wake up knackered.

My jaw hurts today Sad

Its like I've taken a punch to the side of the face, when all I actually did was lay on my side in bed, sigh.

I have arhtritis stemming from HMS.

Fatigue.
Sometimes I just bloody hurt all over.
Loss of mobility in hands. I can barely splay out my left hand, these days.
My own internal percussion section. I can't move without something clicking.
Burning knees, particularly when I've been walking on ice or snow.
Jelly legs, in the morning.
Almighty headaches when my neck's locked.
A nicely swollen left elbow - I can no longer fully straighten my left arm.
Collapsed arches. After badly tearing a ligament just over a decade ago, i can no longer balance on my right foot, which makes getting dressed interesting, when I forget.

Is anyone affected in their lungs? I have pain around my front and back and am rubbish at that breath test thing the gp does. X

Pain & swelling in knees, fingers/thumbs, wrists, toes, Ankles, shoulders, hips and occasionally neck & back.
Achey ribs
Seriously awful fatigue - after the school run today i had to have a nap, I was completely exhausted I couldn't have stayed awake if I tried.
Morning & evening stiffness
General aches & tenderness
Cracking, creaking & grinding joints
Joints which give way under me
And a host of crap side effects from medication Inc. Upset stomach, constipation, catching everything under the sun and bruising.
Sounds shit written down - thankfully mines usually well controlled by meds except when I do daft things like TTC
My screwy immune system has also been experimenting with a whole host of new & nasty allergies (both food & contact) just in case I didn't feel crap enough. Docs think it's linked somehow.

Ahh I forgot the feeling the weather (damp & humidity are awful)
& crappy circulation

beachedwhalesarecool · 27/09/2013 18:59

I already have chilblains all over my hands because of my awful circulation, and it's only September.
Awful tiredness and constant 'hangover' feeling (probably because of MTX)
Pain deep inside my left hip/lower back.
Dry eyes.

I have psoriatic arthritis and my pain and psoriasis are so much better since I've been on meds, apart from a few flare ups. I still feel generally 'bleugh' most of the time though....
