DH is getting better, but I just get done telling him I am in alot of pain, then I ask for help off the floor because I was digging in a cabinet and the flexing in the wrists is gentler if I am on the floor.
He tries to assist and grabs both my wrists and pulls. It happened so fast...
Then when I wince and groan, he pulls away and I almost fall on the floor. Then he feels like it was all his responsibility, that I was hurt. I try to explain that he cannot remember all the time because my skin looks so normal now. If it was a heaping pile of red and urple he would know. I also do not wear the brace around the house, cause I want to keep it moving.
Depression sucks, and all I can say, is try to do things for yourself. Get lotsa rest, eat what you want (you are eating for two anyway) Read a book, sit in the sun for a few minutes every day. (just a few minutes) helps with your happy vitamins\hormones (cannot remember - brain fog). Do things that make you happy, and you will feel better.

PS sorry if this was a little off topic, reading it through guess I needed to vent too.

That's the crazy thing. My skin looks normal now too. It doesn't feel normal, and doctors have nothing to go by, but your word. Thats scary. I had a fullbody flare-up and you couldn't see anything. My fiance said that I turned bright red everywhere, but I didn't notice a difference. WOW!!
Thanks for the 411. Hugs!!
