I posted this in another converstation but thought it might be fun to start a 'whinge' post. twisted What do you 'hate'?

You know what I hate?

People who, even when they know I have PMR, suffer fatigue, on a cocktail of medications - all of which have caused a huge weight gain, tell me I need to go for a walk as it will make me feel better!!

AAGHGGHHHHHHH

    Hey Flip, I just read where someone said just watch your carbs!! I thought that's not the problem!! The problem is fighting an increased appetite!!!!!

    Just saying!!

      But reducing carbs does help with the increased appetite too.

      (PS - if I eat carbs, I get hungry again far sooner than when I don't. Just saying...) smile

    I hate having to wear ugly running shoes because pretty shoes hurt my feet.

      Hey Anhaga, I wanted to update you. I did take voltaren 75mg last Sat. Nite. I was afraid I couldn't take care of my little pt. it took care of my pain until yesterday. I'm going to try Tylenol arthritis. I'll keep you posted! I really appreciate you in this forum!!! Hope you're doing well.

    I always hate it when people tell me to move more it will help. I tell them I am tired all the time and they say : Thats because you have gained weight and eat to much sugar and carbs : Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr smile They just don't seem to get it :

      I agree!  I was always a "good girl" - did the recommended excercises every day, ate the correct things, etc etc.

      I'm now into my 5th year of PMR and everything STILL hurts!

      I'm 77 and have decided to eat what I like (within reason!), excercise very moderately, enjoy life, get stiff 😏 but grow old gracefully.

    I hated when someone asks you how you're doing

    Knowing that you don't feel well I just say tired

    They say You're Always TIRED 😬🙀

    I'm glad you asked this again because I wanted to re- start the post  (just didn't get round to it)!

    I hate people who talk non-stop!

         "         ".     who walk along the street using mobile phones!

      Another thing I hate is having to sign in every single time to Patient info - even if I have answered several other posts a minute or so before.  Grrrrr!
