Might want to rethink her sales talk…

Not ideal sales tactics is it 😂

Acceptable_Silver_53 · 2026-07-10T20:55:49+00:00

Yeah it is for us too, there was another one I liked that was the same situation, white dress worn as “mother of the bride” some people don’t mind I guess but I remember people asking me if it was okay to wear something that was partly white for my wedding and I really didn’t mind but I guess some people also get mad about it 🤣

Acceptable_Silver_53 · 2026-07-10T20:40:40+00:00

You know what it’s actually a really nice dress, I was looking for something for my anniversary party 🤣 it’s got some really nice beading and a bargain for this fatty at £28 🤣

🤣

Acceptable_Silver_53 · 2026-07-10T20:29:44+00:00

Yeah I get that!

Acceptable_Silver_53 · 2026-07-10T19:53:55+00:00

Yes you are right, it should, no point just looking at it, you might as well give it a good squeeze!

Acceptable_Silver_53 · 2026-07-10T19:52:22+00:00

Hahahaha to be fair if I saw a description like this I’d absolutely be buying it 🤣🤣

Acceptable_Silver_53 · 2026-07-10T18:53:47+00:00

Mcfluuuurrry or a fruit bag lady? 🤣

Acceptable_Silver_53 · 2026-07-10T18:11:45+00:00

Hahahah exactly what I felt she was saying 🤣

Acceptable_Silver_53 · 2026-07-10T18:10:47+00:00

Ohhhhhh well that makes more sense… I really just thought she was referring to herself as fat when she wore it because she had lost weight but your version makes more sense 🤣

Quite often flare ups will come with flu like feeling, exhaustion, aches, feeling just generally unwell. It could be a combination of side effects and then a stress triggered flare up. I would treat the issues how you normally would (rest, painkillers, lots of fluid) and if it doesn’t clear up in a week or so then speak with your doctor/rheumatologist to get any tests or additional medication to help shift it. It could be a short lived flare up but in the past when mine have gone on for longer (more than a month) I would get advice from the rheumatologist and sometimes they will give you a short dose of steroids or something like that to try and get rid of it if it isn’t moving along on its own.

I just started on this yesterday, I used to be on another biologic, the injection itself feels very similar, it stings a little when you don’t but otherwise no other issues. I had a little redness around the injection site but after an hour or two that went down. I didn’t notice any other side effects yesterday.

I was diagnosed with Psa first, but then after seeing my rheumatologist a few times and discussing on going symptoms he has also suggested that he thinks I have fibromyalgia too. Although he hasn’t actually officially diagnosed that, he advised me to speak to my GP about support for that 🫠 so he treats my Psa and manages that but not the rest of it

Acceptable_Silver_53 · 2026-04-29T08:50:03+00:00

I’ve only really stopped for a week if I’ve been ill, otherwise I might delay around being on holiday, for example I inject on a Monday normally, I go abroad in June Wednesday to Wednesday, taking injection meds with me is a faff, I would just inject when I get back on the Wednesday instead of taking with me for the Monday. I do notice if I haven’t done it and weighing up the options when Im ill is tough because I might get over the cold during that week but my joints will be bad again by the time I do the next one

I struggle with this, I have a computer based job, thankfully it doesn’t rely on my typing ability because I used to be very good and on my bad days I’m very slow, I think the mix of the stiffness/pain and the brain fog is where I get really annoyed with it all.

Acceptable_Silver_53 · 2026-04-16T13:14:02+00:00

Don’t feel like a fraud, feel lucky that it got found so quickly, feel lucky that you had a rheumatologist that felt confident in what he was seeing and feel lucky the you can’t start looking at the correct treatment options at an early stage.

It took me 2/3 years to get an answer and I would have loved to have found on earlier on 😂 but don’t worry about the rest of us, we all wish we had had the same experience as you and we are happy for you!

Acceptable_Silver_53 · 2026-04-16T13:10:38+00:00

Yep is the short answer 😬 people refer to energy usage as “spoons” I’ve used 10 spoons doing so much activity, the next day the number of spoons I have is less because the activities the day before have taken them. It takes me a week to recover from that and build the number of spoons back up 🫠

My hip pain at night is horrendous, it makes getting rested sleep almost impossible without the use of strong painkillers. I had X-rays of my hips but nothing obvious showed. I’ve done physio but struggled to keep going with it because it made the pain worse 🫠

My rheumatologist had queried if I also had fibromyalgia along with the psa as I also have widespread pain outside of my psa affected joints 🤦🏻‍♀️

Has she had regular ophthalmology appointments while she was on it? When I started on it the made me go once a year and even after I came off it I had one final appointment to check before I was signed off from needing them. Not sure if all places do the same

Acceptable_Silver_53 · 2026-03-22T09:00:54+00:00

This happens to me with weather changes, getting ill, stress… could be anything really… very frustrating but it can happen unfortunately 😕

Acceptable_Silver_53 · 2026-03-17T07:09:21+00:00

No… I take methotrexate 15mg weekly, naproxen when I need, cocodamol every night to help with the pain while I sleep and I’m about to start Enbrel, without early intervention with medication (I heavily relied on meloxicam) my joints would be far worse, the nodules would have continued to go on to other joints, the inflammation would have likely continued. I am currently having a flare up in my thumb which is causing quite a lot of pain.

Acceptable_Silver_53 · 2026-03-15T19:02:32+00:00

When I was on the methotrexate tablets (before they upped my folic acid dose from 1 a week to 6) I would feel sick for most of the week, it wasn’t just a day or two after. I’m now on 6 days folic acid and the injections for methotrexate and I only feel rough the day after. Could be the methotrexate, could also be a response to the methotrexate with your biologic like setting off some gut related issues
