Weird Week

[furrbear]

Woke up at 3:30 Monday morning with burning sensation in knuckles and first joint of fingers. After a while, they swelled up quite nicely. Washing with lukewarm water felt like scalding. Took a day to get better. Haven't been able to decide if it was a bad allergic reaction to something earlier in the day or an early introduction to RA. Mowed the front yard Tuesday evening to be rewarded with a full sidelining yesterday with respiratory side-effects. Seriously, the air is better in LA than DFW. Chef BooBoo's birthday present arrived early. Thank you Amazon. Maybe something light today like the weed-eater or a bit of cleanup with the chainsaw.

If it's not RA, it could possibly be Scleroderma or Fibromyalgia

There was a good immune system allergic rxn type lead-in to this, and it's happened before to a lesser degree: just the irritation, not the swelling.

Oh, rats. Sorry to hear you're having a rough patch this week, handsome man. Rest assured I'd find a way to distract you if I were there. ;)

hugs!

I hear you Texans are fond of clearing brush. :-)

A little suprisingly to me, DFW's air is cleaner across several benchmarks ...

... however, you guys get the seasonal pollen/mold dumps we don't ... those are what really knock me for a loop.

Probably got bit by a spider.

On both hands?

Sorry, no bites.
