One of the most irritating for me is any small repetitive motions, for example, I helped my daughter color a poster with map colors 2 weeks ago. OMG, my shoulder has been killing me ever since. Driving is another. My right leg hurts from pressing the gas pedal. It's the small motion that frustrate me nearly to insanity.

sorry you're under the weather--hope you feel better soon!

walking does it for me. more than a few feet and i'm done. also, using the mouse on the pc. i'm ok with the keyboard, but don't play any games for too long! and, yeah, driving does it too.

Well, my job in general. I am a nurse. Very stressful mentally- walking, charting...Hope you feel better soon Christine.

Reaching over the sink to do dishes. We use alot of paperplates now. Feel better soon Christine.

Holding a pen in my hand too long and trying to drive my car, which is a 5 speed All that clutch work, and gear shifting.And the saddest one-playing with my grandchildren. They are 2 and 3, and they can be rough on grandma! Love them to pieces.

Forgot to add punching over 100 pills out of a bubble pack at work!!!! Repetitive......

STRESS

weather changes

yep-repetitive motions (PK)

over-doing it

not taking my meds on time

Fatigue...I have two little ones who sometimes keep me up at night.

breathing...and any repetitive motion, like breathing...

Sweetie, with all the things you have had to deal with, its no wonder your having added problems. I have just been on a 5 week anti biotic regimen for a Sinus thing, and could not take Methotrexate. That will do it. Took Metho for the first time today and I wonder how long it will take to get working again. I have mild RA and do very well on 5 pills of Metho and Folic.

tryin to do all those snaps on my sons jumpers and sleepers and whatever shirt or pjam hes wearin. i cant put him in a 2 piece outfit of anything because as soon as my back is turned he is naked *L* sooo, it has to be a 1 piece and unfortunatly all those darn things have a million little snappys on em. and a sqwermy toddler isnt easy to dress. i wish there were more with zippers... now zippers are easier to deal with *L*

My neck flares up from holding my head at a funky angle looking through the old bifocals!. Then because my neck hurts, I hunch up my shoulders, then my back hurts, and down to my hips, and I swear this isn't a joke, clear down to my toes. I swear "referred" pain can bring on flares.
Hate the ups and downs in the weather, too,

Doing my job - bending over to look in people's ears, taking molds, flushing ears, etc., etc. - it all gets me going!

Sudden barometric changes - YUCK!

Sitting for a long time typing on my computer - Ouch!

Walking long distances, and going down stairs - Double ouch!

I could go on...but you get the picture :)

Yes, the small repetitive motions do it to me. I have a large family, so I am constantly folding laundry. I absolutely dread it because I know my fingers and wrists are going to be killing me for the rest of the day. Driving here too.

I hope you feel better christine.
For me it's the darn Pill Bottles. Somedays I can't open them to even take my Meds.

I just cannot imagine having small Children and having RA on top of it. I have alot of respect for you moms out there. Oh and G-ma's too.
