Our lives are such a delicate balancing act most of the time. The surgery definitely knocked me over. It wasn't bad enough that the inflammation was there, but the doc gave me antibiotics FOR the possibility that I might have a 2ndary infection. And the antibiotics gave me a yeast infection. And while I was fighting the yeast infection, I caught a cold. And from the cold, I got pink eye (conjunctivitis)..... I am waiting, patiently getting rest and giving my body a chance to get back on even footing, but it's not coming easily.
My cold, yeast infection, and pink eye are now gone. BUT.....now my immune system is acting up again. I'm back to having twice daily fevers, endless joint pain, and fatigue. I'm holding my breath hoping that my body will go BACK to its previous "well state" once things settle down. But I can't help being saddened again by the return of my symptoms. I'm been sick for enough years to be realistic about this disease. I know intellectually that nothing has lasted for very long to keep me well before and that it would only be a matter of time before this happened again, but I was hoping for a little MORE GOOD TIME. And that the good time will return.
And so now I am waiting, watching Spring beginning, and waiting.

Oh no :-( My heart goes out to you. I am just know getting over my flare. The joint pain was SO BAD for about 17 days ..... with the fever & migraines. It will get better, but when you are going through it, it feels like it will never end.......If i were there i would give you a Big Soft Hug & help you out or just be there to listen.
It is to bad that you had to go through ALL of that from surgery for you hand.
Take Care, Love & Hugs, Deb

Isn't it something how an invasive procedure is all it takes to throw our bodies completely out of whack! To someone without our crazy diseases it would be a routine thing and done and over with quickly. For us it goes on and on.....I really hope that your body will calm back down and get back to that good place you were in before it. I feel bad for you. I have been suffering lately too and it sucks. And I didn't even have surgery on top of it! Well, stay positive and strong. You'll get through this. :) Cheryl
