My dears - Surbhi, LuckySnow, Inlieu and Vaishnavi,

I was most touched by your concern for me. It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside. Thanks so much, kids!🤗

I have still not finished with the latest round of tests. I was at the hospital again today and will go back as soon as all the test results are in. I am tired and irritable and fed up.

See, these last 3 years I have been in constant pain because of my RA, and sometimes it attacks not just the usual places, ie my fingers and hands, but also other joints.

The latest has been my neck, and then the shoulder joints, which resulted in my being unable to turn my head to look up or look to the side or behind. It was really funny😆, come to think of it, my turning my whole body round to look at anything behind me or above me. Like a robot!😉

Then my left knee began to act up, and I am afraid I might need a second knee replacement. I had the right one replaced three years ago after a bad fall crushed the cartilage, and the recovery process, though not complicated, was painful and hard to bear. So I am keeping my fingers crossed that I don't need to replace the other knee as well.

Last year, I had a very bad liver problem because of a reaction to the RA medication. I never knew that any one but heavy drinkers had that sort of problem, and then I have been a teetotaller all my life!😆 It took a while to get my liver in order, and for about 3 months, all was quiet on the RA front,till it decided that I was being let off too easily, and hit back with full force last month.😉

My orthopaedist is going to change several of my medications, but that can be done only when all my reports are in. Till then, I continue being literally stiff-necked,😉 and hobbling around the flat. I hope that they are able to put together a cocktail (!) of medicines that will tone down the RA and at the same time not cause a backlash elsewhere.

All in all, I have become like an old rattetrap of a car, which is unpredictable at all times and decidedly shaky sometimes!😆

OK, that is a dreary post, but then you asked for it!😉

Hello aunty

Everyone should be careful of modern medicines as they have terrible side effects if not now at later date

Many effect liver, kidney, heart etc especially painkillers

Try out nature cure to reduce pain and inflamation of arthritis ideally oils and yoga may be mild excercise or swimming in hot water etc

RA is tough take care
