worn out

[redbird]

I went to the doctor yesterday to have her examine my hands, and teach me some massage stuff that might help with the pain. I now have a referral to get my hands X-rayed, but the video she made on my phone to show how to massage my fingers didn't save properly. I have sent a message through MyChart, asking if there's some online reference, or if we can redo the video at my next appointment. I tried showing cattitude from memory, but part of why I wanted the video is that I don't have a great visual memory.

I think being worn out is from some combination of having had the Ocrevus infusion two days ago--Cattitude pointed out that this is a pattern, which I hadn't registered--and trudging through snow and slush to get to Davis Square, and then to adrian_turtle's, yesterday.

Yesterday's wether was unholy.
*sends you energy*

Just the snow and slush would wear me out, and add all the rest? No wonder you're tired.

Sorry I don't already know the answer, but are you having pain from arthritis?

There's definitely some pain from arthritis; I'm not sure whether these X-rays will be to check how bad the arthritis has gotten (like the brain MRIs they do to track the MS) or whether she thinks some of the pain might have a different cause, and wants to look into that.

I've had some hand pain for ages (and my mother has arthritis, and her mother had rheumatoid arthritis), and it has gotten significantly worse in the last few months. (How many, I'm not sure, it's still Blursday.)
