Does Anyone Experience More Pain Mid-week?

A myRAteam Member asked a question šŸ’­
burton on trent

Over the last few weeks my pain has been so bad on Wed and Thur to the point where breathing hurts and i can't sleep or move without wanting to scream.

Then on a Friday as if by magic i start feeling a bit better again, I can't for the life of me figure out why and wondered if anyone else had any ideas?

Thanks x

I find that I have more problems when I'm stressed and the middle of my work week seems to be the most stressful. However, I do seem to have problem about every other weekend when my son is at his dads. It's like my body realizes I have some down time and I completely shut down. I am stiff and in pain all weekend. I tend to sleep most of the weekend away. But if that's what my body needs to function well when I have my son with me I can live with it.

I hadn't thought of this before but yes. Wednesday and Thursday are bad. Weekends are better but this is probably because I increase pain and anti inflammatory meds. šŸ˜‚

I've had RA for a long time and it is a strange disease! I can go up to five days feeling good. Then I may feel really bad for two weeks. It may effect my wrist and keep me awake for two or three nights then I sleep well one night. That's how RA effects you. You never know what is going to hurt or just how tired you will be from day to day. It takes a while to get use, if you ever do, to the different things that develop.

I still work full time so yes by the middle to end of week things can start to get worse depending on the week. I'm so sorry you are suffering so much Amy šŸ˜ž

I take my mtx on Saturday. Usually by Thursday night and Friday I’m in pain.
