Today we are going to friends' for Super Bowl and I hurt everywhere. I miss the old me. On a very personal note has anyone ever had an increase in vaginal discharge with their RA?

maybe take a nap for a few before going and a good pain killer. I hope their good enough friends that they will understand how you feel and can curl up on the couch and rest your pain. as for the discharge...could you be going through pre menopause or menopause?? I ask cuz Ive been doing that certain times of the month without the period and I have to wear those little pads to be comfortable out around others. also when I was on mtx...I had to keep fluconazole on hand cuz I was always getting yeast infections. have a great day !!!

I'm with you, hurt from head to toe. Stayed in bed most of the day, Rare for me but I simply did not care. There are those days you just can't push yourself.
I was just thinking how can something hurt so bad everywhere? I see I'm not alone. I hope we get a break soon.
