Scorecard (0-10 pain level)
Legs:0
Shoulders:1
Wrists & Thumbs:4
Ankles & toes:3
This is the weirdest illness. The pain seems to just wander around the body, randomly selecting places to park up for the night. Admittedly I did have to dig the snow off the drive yesterday afternoon to get the car out, so that may have something to do with the sore wrists. But if that's the case why aren't the shoulders sore too! Maybe there's only so much pain to go round.
Had some difficulty in sleeping because of the wrists and thumbs discomfort. Got up for a couple of hours and read the news online before going back to bed and more or less dozing for a few hours. I was glad to get up at 6am and start the day. I also had a sore jaw for a while about bed time but that's gone completely this morning.
After a shower it settled down to a manageable level and I am able to get on with some admin now.
Took my third dose of sulfasalazine this morning with a fruit and yoghurt smoothie breakfast. Still no discernible effect, good or ill. Also took a dose of diclofenac to keep the gremlins at bay for a while.
