I am working as a bartender while in school and I love it! I get to meet new people, it is not as hard on my feet because I am in a small area, and well, bartenders are cool:):) What is not cool are my fingers locking up last night! I was carrying a medium sized plate and shooting pains started radiating through my hand and arm. I couldn't set it down because I had a beer in my other had. So, I just bit my lip and walked to my customers. I set it in front of them and rushed back to the kitchen to shout F#@! a few times. I had to rub out two of my fingers and after that I was fine. I was caught off guard because nothing like this has happened before. I will be paying much more attention now when I am carrying plates!
On another note, I am going to start cutting back on prednisone. I am on a roller coaster of emotions and I feel like I am losing it. I go from crying over bank commercials, to screaming at my boyfriend for breathing, to having an incredible urge to punch everyone directly in the face. I cannot keep doing this. I think I am starting to feel the effects of the medications now. In addition to the moodiness I am exhausted. I will get bursts of energy for an hour then want to sleep for two, my chest feels heavy and sometimes I get waves of panic over my body. It is hard to tell what symptom is from the RA and what is from the meds. I see my Doc on June 6th and I am going to demand she give me a pill that will make me feel better, with the side effects of weight loss, increased energy, full luscious eyelashes, and more dates with good looking men.
Have a great day everyone and thanks for the comments!!!! I am learning so much from everyone!!!
