Not in a good place

[frualeydis]

Right now I feel so sad and tired of being sick all the time. I got a flare in my arthritis in mid-Freburary and it just won't go away. I got prednisolone and it helped a little. But then on Tuesday I got a scare from a rather high blood pressure, fearlign that my Graves' disease had returned. I took tests and my thyroid values were normal, so we're guessing that it was a side effect from the prednisolone. So now I'm not taking that, which has relieved my constant headache and overehating - which is good. But I still have my swollen joints and pain :(

What I really, really need is to get off work and rest, but that takes so much work.
