Hurting....
 

I just wanted to let you know that I'm not going to be on here today. I started having a stomach ache last night and so I'm not feeling the best. Then I have some arthritis in my hands that flares up once in a while and is very painful and it chose today to act up. It's like a double whammy!! Hopefully tomorrow I'll feel better. Love ya'!!!

Diana....have you ever written about arthritis in your hands? How often does it flare up? I know Rick has a heck of a time with arthritis and the pain. Not sure what I have in my knees, but if your pain is anything like that then my heart is going out to you. I sure hope you get to feeling better soon.

Aww Diana I hope that you are feeling better since you wrote this post this morning. Having to deal with one problem is bad enough. Maybe you ate something that didn't agree with you and that will pass. As far as the artritis goes that can be painful, I have the carpal tunnel in the past and that hurt. Take care of yourself hopefully tomorrow you will feel better..

Feeling badly and having pain anywhere is just plain no fun at all!!! :mad: I hope you feel better soon!!!!! :)

I hope you're feeling much better today Diana.

Diana, so hope you are feeling better today!!!!!!!

I hope you're feeling better Diana! I know how painful arthritis is too... I had it in my hip when I was younger.

I'm much better today. I still have a bit of a stomach ache but nothing like yesterday. At least I wasn't sick like everyone else has been. I have a couple of different types of arthritis in my hands. One is where my knuckles are swollen. It doesn't bother me much at all unless you press on my knuckles. My Mom and her sisters all have it. Then I have another kind that makes my hands really stiff when I get up in the morning but it soon works out and I'm fine but every once in a while my hands will ache. Kinda' like a really bad headache only in my hands. I took some arthritis strength Tylenol but it doesn't seem to do very much. At least it doesn't last more than a day or two at a time, maybe 3 or 4 times a year.

I'm not one to complain much when I hurt. My husband used to act like it was never as bad as I let on and he would ignore me so I've just learned not to say much. No one knows how much I hurt but sometimes it gets the best of me. Thanks so much for your concern!!! I'm so much better today!! Love ya'll!!!!

Good to hear you are feeling better today, hope you continue to feel even better over the next couple of days.

Diana, so glad that you are feeling better today. I can relate to the husband thing.
I had a tummy ache today too, drank 1/2 bottle of Pepto.

I'm glad you're feeling better Diana. I wish you didn't have to go through it at all, even if it isn't very often.

I am glad you are feeling better!

Glad to hear you are feeling better!!! Now, maybe you'll get that snow you've been wanting!!! :D

I'm really glad that you feel better.

Thanks so much for caring!!! You guys are the bestest friends!!!!
