I can try but really nervous!
How are you doing this morning?
Jaquaia
21-08-17, 09:49 AM
Nervous!!!!
Do you know what you are going to wear? Going somewhere public? Do you have someone set to send you a get out text at 9?
Jaquaia
21-08-17, 12:35 PM
I don't yet. Yes, a bar in town. And I do. But still nervous.
It's understandable to be nervous.. How long have you been talking to him? Will you try not to do anything spontaneously if you don't know him well?
Jaquaia
21-08-17, 12:58 PM
I will try. I'm intending to be on my best behaviour
OK.. IF that changes then please, please, please let someone know where you are going and how you are getting there (reg plates would be good too).... Pics of him too.. (Am I sounding a little over protective? It's coz I am and I loves ya x)
Jaquaia
21-08-17, 01:26 PM
Well he's an older guy called Tony who is spanish but has been in the UK 16 years. He's been very polite while we've been talking, he's attractive, seems genuine and I've seen comments from a lot of people who have met him saying how lovely and how much of a gent he is. I'm looking forward to some intelligent conversation. Just really nervous as it's out of my comfort zone.
Go and have a nice evening, decent conversation and see how it goes x

So you gonna be seeing him again?
Jaquaia
22-08-17, 07:50 AM
Probably not. He's actually from London but wanted some company while he was up here for work. We'd been talking a few weeks and he was a complete gent, so thoughtful and attentive.

That is a shame ..... but you did it and it was a success :)

Am so glad that you went hunni x
So glad it went well and that he was lovely! Fantastic!

This one feels a bit weird. Been talking to him for a year and he's lovely. Really respectful and we get on well. Well I've done him a favour and I've said he can take me out for a drink next Saturday to thank me. He's only 24 though so it feels a bit naughty. And I know! Age is only a number!
S deleted
22-08-17, 05:06 PM
Right so you hook up with a 45 yo last night, but a 24 yo is a bit weird? It's a smaller age different so whats weird about it? It's not like he's gonna be turning up in his school uniform or anything.
Jaquaia
22-08-17, 05:16 PM
Now you've put it like that it does sound daft! I didn't think of it like that before.
Jays 9 years younger than me sweetie nothing wrong with age difference xx
Jaquaia
22-08-17, 08:23 PM
Ok. I've given it a couple of hours to sink in.
I was at the hospital today and all my tests came back positive, I have rheumatoid arthritis. The rheumatologist said that they've caught it early though so no damage has been done to my joints yet. I've had to have a chest xray today and more bloods and I'm to go and see my doctor in 2 weeks. If my chest xray is fine, I'll be starting methotrexate.
My friend is on methotrexate and it's helped so much. Just make sure you get the anti emetic too. She doesn't eat much on methotrexate day - normally belvita biscuits as it is easier with the nausea.
I'm sorry you've had such a (swear)(swear)(swear)(swear) diagnosis, but at least you know you're not imagining the pain etc.... (bear)(bear)(bear)
Jaquaia
22-08-17, 09:25 PM
To be honest, it's not that much of a shock as I was kind of expecting it. And at least it's been diagnosed before my joints are permanently damaged. I'm more annoyed that I now have an autoimmune disease and am going to have to have the flu vaccination
Treatment can at least start early but can understand how your feeling hunni x
Why are you annoyed you have to have the flu jab?
S deleted
22-08-17, 10:14 PM
I'm more annoyed that I now have an autoimmune disease and am going to have to have the flu vaccination
Having asthma for as long as I can remember I've always been eligible but some reason never got invited for one until I was 30. Is it really such a bad thing?
Jaquaia
22-08-17, 10:17 PM
I guess because it's a reminder that I'm now immunosupressed and I need to try and avoid people with infections as catching it can cause a flare up. Although in good news, since the last time I was at the hospital, so about 8 weeks, I've lost just over 12lbs!
Oh and...

It can sound pretty scary I guess but when you don't know any different it's not something you think about. It's only when people point out the risks I even realise.
I'm immunosuppressed too. It sucks but at least you know and can deal with it. Eventually you won't even think about it. One of the first things my consultant told me when he diagnosed CRPS (on top of my asthma so I doubly need the jab) was to take 1000mg vitamin C every day. I do and actually have far fewer colds/throats infections etc than I used to have
*waves hands as another immunosuppressed person*
How are you feeling today?
Awww baby!

I'm feeling sick again. Meeting a friend soon for coffee but want to throw up again. Anxiety is an arse

But your not going to give in to the anxiety. You will meet your friend and you will have a good natter. The more you get out the easier it will become.
Stellla's right. You can do this. x
What they said, you can do this hunni x
Jaquaia
23-08-17, 02:01 PM
Back! He got called back to work but had such a giggle. It's just that initial anxiety, it makes me feel so ill.
But be as proud of yourself as we are as your facing it, working through it and dealing with it babe xx
S deleted
23-08-17, 02:15 PM
I totally understand how difficult it is to get out and yeah, you wonder if it wouldn't be easier to just cancel as that is the quickest way to relieve the symptoms of anxiety, but do you really wanna be controlled by your condition? you gave into the anxiety for so long it's no wonder that you find it so hard but right now I am so damned proud of you cos you are challenging yourself, you're stepping out of your comfort zone, taking the hard option and learning that it really is worth fighting your natural urge to run and hide cos there is a fun and enjoyable experience on the other side.
I'm another one proud of you. And I'm so chuffed you're pushing through the initial anxiety :)
Woohooo! You are awesome!

Things are feeling a little better. Monday night with Tony was a HUGE boost. A little numb at the moment though and my hands and wrists are really stiff which isn't helping.

I just wanna say what I told Angie yesterday, about how amazing it was to see you with a smile on your face and a spark of excitement about you. I really do understand how hard it can be and just how much it can take it out of you. I like to think I'm good at challenging myself and pushing the boundaries but sometimes I push too hard and too fast and it takes it's toll. I try to stick with it cos I know how good it can be when you get past the initial difficulties and the sense of achievement in the end but sometimes you have to back off and give yourself a break. I know you've got things lined up over the next week so just rest up when you can and prepare yourself mentally for the battle and the fun you will have.
Sometimes, the joy of achieving times like this far outweighs the 'hangover'

My mood is a bit all over really. It's better when I've been out but still pretty flat most of the time and the anxiety is exhausting. Still, if I can get through sunday in one piece I can handle anything!!!
Of course you can! Are you keeping a mood diary at all?
Jaquaia
29-08-17, 11:16 PM
I haven't been just lately but I need to start again. Got a busy week this week. Seeing Fran tomorrow morning and out tomorrow night, seeing Sam Thursday morning and maybe out Thursday night, counselling Friday morning and out Friday night, out Saturday and maybe seeing Mark again.
Erm, all this is brilliant, but where you are fitting in resting?
Jaquaia
29-08-17, 11:32 PM

I feel great this morning! Just got out of the gym and I even got a hug off the gorgeous Sam! He has helped me so much!
I'm so pleased for you! Things seem to be going in the right direction?
Jaquaia
31-08-17, 11:30 AM
Getting to hug the gorgeous Sam is definitely a good thing ;)
He has helped me so much over the past 6 months. I have so much more self belief as he's helped me to see that I can do things. One of the tests I do is a 6 minute walk. I've always had to stop before because my back started hurting, but today I did the full 6 minutes. I am so chuffed with myself! They have new machines in the gym and the leg press machine doesn't even go as high as what I did last time. I feel so much better physically and mentally since I started seeing Sam. Combine that with going out and the medication actually having an effect, I finally feel like I'm getting somewhere.
I honestly don't think I've ever seen you as buoyant as you have been the last few weeks and I'm chuffed to bits (happy)

Hope it's a quick flare and doesn't cause too much pain. When are you starting the methotrexate?
Jaquaia
01-09-17, 11:11 AM
I took some ibuprofen last night which seems to have stopped it. My hands are just stiff and uncomfortable today rather then painful. See my GP a week today, so fingers crossed he's received the letter from the hospital and I'll be starting it on Friday
Glad the ibuprofen has helped hunni x
Jaquaia
02-09-17, 08:54 AM

02-09-17, 01:17 PM
Haha, we've all done the walk of shame the morning after the night before. Well done with the public transport. It's easy going home than heading out cos you're returning to your safe place. Has Talia forgiven you yet for leaving her?
Jaquaia
02-09-17, 01:21 PM
Haha! I actually never have before! It's my first time (giggle) no regrets whatsoever though.
You've never done the walk of shame before? I used to always find it best with a bloody great smile on your face, holding your shoes in your hand ;)
Nice one love. Pleased for you x

Jaquaia
05-09-17, 03:46 PM
15 minutes to find a parking space, 15 minutes queuing for the lift and I only needed to get her up to the first floor, all while I'm flaring again ;(
(bear) has she seen the doc yet?
Jaquaia
05-09-17, 03:50 PM
Yeah. Ended up parking about 5 minutes away from the hospital and having to walk, then walking back and dismantling the wheelchair to go back in the boot. I feel exhausted now.
Oh hunni (bear) Did the appointment go well?
Did they increase the meds?
Jaquaia
05-09-17, 10:38 PM
Oh the appointment went well apart from the 15 minutes to find a parking space, then the walk, then the 15 minutes just to get in the bloody lift, then the walk back and having to dismantle the wheelchair. She's had the meds increased again and they're sending her for lung function tests as they're looking to swap her on to methotrexate but she won't stop bloody smoking.
She's still not even thinking about quitting?
Jaquaia
06-09-17, 10:29 AM
She said she's trying and she has cut down a little. But then some days she has 2 or 3 in a really short space of time.

Not a huge amount as I'm still having a flare up in my hands and now my left shoulder too. Had my haircut and just taking it easy now
Glad that your now taking it easy hunni x
Hope that you've been properly resting lovely.

I've been trying. Can't really lift my arm above my head so blowdrying my hair was fun after my shower.
Doctors on friday so will mention it then.
Did you need to blow dry? If it hurts then don't push it too hard love. (oo er)

I had it cut today so needed to see how it looked properly (giggle)

To my shoulder and it's a lot more shaped around my face and layered. The hairdresser asked how much I wanted off... "surprise me" (giggle)
That was a risky thing to say (giggle). And, btw, it looks lovely!

Your hair is beautiful. I love the cut. I'm going for the chop tomorrow. Feeling brave too. Going to ask for layers this time. Just for a change.

Ok, huge blip this evening. My phone crashed and then I lost all internet and I panicked. Without my phone, I don't really have any contact with the outside world, and losing that crutch is scary and it sent my anxiety sky high. I've only just stopped shaking but I'm feeling so stressed and tense that my whole body aches and my RA has flared up.
As for my date, his name is Ric, he's 35, no kids, lives in Grimsby and seems to be a bit besotted with me. We've talked on the phone and I feel so comfortable, the conversation just flows.
(hugs) lovely. How are you doing after the blip?
Date sounds lovely - where are you going?

Mainly sore. I was in so much pain last night that I took a naproxen and went to bed early. I've never been so tense that it's started causing discomfort before, my leg is so tight today that it's actually painful.
I'm not sure yet. He wants to take me for a meal.
Could the tension also be because of your date?

I'm actually looking forward to seeing him, although very nervous. He's incredibly sweet and easy to get on with.
I'm annoyed with the hospital though. Just seen the doctor and can't start the methotrexate as they haven't received anything from the rheumatologist.
Oh ffs! Have you called them?
Jaquaia

I have no details for them, the doctor is getting the secretaries to chase it up and I'm to ring and check in a week.
Oh hunni that is not good x
