His followers appreciated the tweet, with one writing: "Another night of pain from #RA how can it be time to get up again already? Existing not living isn't fun, each day we all carry on because there's no other way to be x thanks for your tweets they do help."

Another remarked: "I know this excruciating pain; I’m lucky my medication still kicks in when I have a 'flare', so you have greatest sympathy. As you do rightly say: existing in a fog of pain is not living."

In March, Eamonn first revealed his ongoing chronic pain health battle with his Twitter followers. The presenter took to social media to share his frustration at being unable to sleep, writing: "In that Twilight Zone between Night time and Morning. Anyone else find these Hours the worst... particularly if you suffer chronic pain?"

For the first time in 5 weeks I feel good! Can't believe I'm saying that but steroid injections from last week must be kicking in too. The comeback starts here... I hope." [sic]
