Hey ,

Welcome to the group

I have only been on the prednisone for about a month now so I can't help you

there, but I have had major sleep problems for 2 years and I have always

slept like a bear my entire life. They put me on Trazodone first and that

worked for about a year, tried amitriptyline and flexoril and they made me

feel severely depressed and groggy. Ambien works great but my doc won't

give me much. When my pain is under better control I seem to sleep better.

They have told me to just use tylenol pm now and that does work pretty well.

As far as activities go, right now I am limited to 10 minutes. I try to

walk for 10 minutes a day. Have you been to physical therapy? They can get

you set up on a program. They have me work with 2 lb weights and

therabands now. I also do pool therapy twice a week when I can and can be

in the pool for 30-40 minutes doing exercise. This is hard as several years

ago I was pretty into weight lifting and could leg press over 200 lbs. Now

I can barely get the top off a bottle.

Will you play basketball agian, anything is possible!!! Since my pain has

continually spread and gotten worse over the past 2 years I am not the most

hopeful but I was never a big athlete either. I miss downhill skiiing the

most. Don't think my knees could handle that right now.

Anyway there are many in the group that are physical miracles, Superman runs

20 miles a day and is in the military, you will have to talk to him when he

gets back.

Glad you are here!

Hello,

Fairly new and have not spoken up,

Had a few quick questions though, I have had still's for 6 years now and

have

never been off of prednisone, Has anyone else been on it that long without

some sort of break from it?

Does anyone have trouble with activities such as sports like basketball, or

weight lifting?

should i give up the idea that i will play basketball again?

Do most have trouble sleeping? I wake up about every 15-30 min. every night.

Oh by the way my name is , I am 23 will be 24 next month.

Hi

My name is ,I am in Wichita, KS. I also had most of the symptoms you

described at the onset of stills disease. Sorry to here about the un-necessary

operation. When I was given prednizone my fevers immediately went down also. I

have had Stills for 4 yrs now and been a member here for aprox. 2 of those yrs.

My rhuemy here in Wichita is DR. Shaver, Who do you see? I know of 1 other

person here in Wichita that has Stills. As far as the medicines go, for me, some

seem to work for a while. Recently got off MTX and prednizone, doc was concerned

about long term effects. Am now trying Plaquenil, this stuff is hard on my

tummy, lol. I am 47, got stills at 43. I have not posted much the last few

months, but I have been reading all posts.

Take care

Hello everyone

Hello everyone. My name is . I am 16 years old. I was diagnosed

with Stills Disease in April. For the past year I had been really sick.

It seemed that every other month I would get sick with flu like symptoms. I

would have extremely high temperatures, vomiting, sore throats, my whole

body would just hurt and ache. One night towards the end of March I was at

work ( I HAD a waitressing job ) and my right side started hurting. It hurt

so bad I couldn't even stand up, or drive home. I had to call my Mom and

make her come get me. Whenever we got home, I went straight to bed. I can

remember laying in bed with five quilts on top of me, crying, thinking to

myself, what was going on. My Mom came in my room at one in the morning,

and said come on, I'm taking you out to the emergency room. She said I had

that gray look to my face and my temperature was now up to 106. Whenever we

got out to the emergency room, they ran some test and took some blood. My

white blood count was extremely high, and since my right side was hurting,

they said it was my appendix and it needed to be removed ASAP. So I had

emergency surgery and my appendix was removed at 8 o'clock that morning.

After the surgery was over, the doctor came in my room and said that the

appendix was fine. But I no longer had the pain in my right side. I still

had a high temperature, and then that next day a faint rash appeared on my

face and arms. My doctor continued to run test, but couldn't figure out

anything. After being in the hospital for 2 days, having an unnecessary

surgery, and still not knowing what was wrong with me, my parents we're a

little bit frusterated. My doctor then decided it was time for me to go to

a bigger hospital 2 1/2 hours away. I was rushed by ambulance to a hospital

in Wichita, Kansas to see an infectious disease specialist. When I got

there he did more test. Another 5 days passed, and we still knew nothing.

I still had 104-106 temperatures, chills, vomiting, and the rash. The

infectious disease specialist came in and said he had done everything he

could, and what I had was not in his field. He said he was going to send a

rheumatologist in. My family and I were like a rheuma.... what?! We had

never even heard of a rheumatologist before. This was all very new to us.

She came in and did more testing. She finally gave me 800mg of prednizone

through my IV. It was like a miracle drug! My temperature was gone, and I

was ready to get the heck out of the hospital. I did a little bit of

whinning around to my rheumatologist and told her that my temperature was

gone, I was 2 1/2 hours away from my friends, I was still in school, and I

just wanted to go home. She said that I could go home, but she explained to

me I was still sick, and the prednizone was just like a band-aid. She also

said she was waiting on a test to come back, and she was pretty sure she

knew what I had. She said that she thought I had something called " Stills

disease " She sent me home on 80mg of prednizone and I had to come back in

one week. Whenever my family and I got home, we did some research on

Stills... and I was shocked. Everything that had been going on the past

year, all pointed back to Stills. It was so crazy! I knew once I did the

research, Stills was what I had. When I went back to see my rheumatologist

one week later, sure enough, she had got the tests back and Still's was what

I had. I am now on 40mg of prednizone, 400mg of plaquinel, 100mg of

trazodone(to help sleep), and tylenol3 for the pain. I am really glad I

found this, reading everyone elses post, It's nice to know there's other

people out there going through some of the same stuff and are willling to

help you with any questions.

Dear Bill,

it is very nice to meet you and I am glad that you wrote to the group. I

have been on the same amount of prednisone for over three years. I haven't

been below 30mg. I started off at 80. This is a lot of time for me. I

want of it very badly. I have noticed big changes in my body as far as

strength go and exercise. I was a faithful runner and worked out on weights

a lot. Yes, I do notice changes...How long have you been on it Bill? I do

have trouble sleeping. I was taking Amptytripylene (spelling)....but I

recently stopped because of all the weight gain with the prednisone. I

have gained 53 pounds with that and prednisone, so I tried Ambien again this

week. That's not working either and he gave me 10mg tabs. Yes, prednisone

makes it hard for me to sleep and makes me moody as well. I am sorry that

you are having a rough time at it too friend. I have kind of been in a

slump the last few months. I know where you are coming from. Be well.

Sincerely, Sue #2

Welcome back RJ!

Good to hear from you again. I have wondered how you have been doing.

So sorry about your dad and then your step dad yet too.

Oh , I got a tear in my eye and a chill down my spine, when I read

that you have found your daughter after *23* years! How wonderful!

That is very strange about being able to walk for several months! Thank

God, it was only temporary, and let's hope it doesn't come back. You

must have been a bit scared.

Thanks for checking in, before we had to send the cavalry out!

physical activites but I know a lot of the younger members of the

Hi ,

Just wanted to drop you a quick reply to your mail, sorry but not much time

right now but if I don't write something now I'll forget!

There are a lot of people on here who've had stills from an early age even

if it wasn't diagnosed. I've had it since I was three and it was diagnosed

at 7. It came and went throughout my childhood and left me at age 17, but

returned again at age 30. I'm now 34 and beginning to get things under

control again!

I'll try and tell you more when I have time if you're interested and of

course we are all here to help answer your questions and support you when

you need it.

best wishes,

Graham (34)

Hi and welcome. You have found a great new home. I was battling the

dragon for 2 1/2 yrs before I was diagnosed in October of 2002. In retro

spect I think I have had it since I was 16 though. I am now 32. I found the

group in April/May of this year. I am so glad that I did. They are a great

bunch of people. They will become a new family for you. I am currently taking

10mgs of prednisone, 25mgs of Methotrexate, by shot, 75mgs twice a day of

Voltaran and 1mg daily Folic Acid. (I think that is it, lol) You learn a lot of

information from here, you no longer feel alone and as there are others out

there

who share this with you.. If you ever need anything all you have to do is

ask. Where are you from ? We have members from all over. Hope you

have

a great weekend and everyone is pain free, or somewhat...

Hi ita,

I am sorry to say that ..no, since the onset, I have not been well enough

to hold down a job. Not even part time. The years have been very

difficult for me (and my husband) but still, I feel blessed. During my

second remission I gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby boy (who

is now almost 28) I did " babysit " between 1976 right up to 1979

when I was sent spinning back into " dragon land " with the nasty

disease again. So, I also had to give up that. As I was a so called

" workaholic " before the onset, it has been especially difficult for

me to accept. (type A personality)

At one point I told my doctor that I thought I was going insane. He

told me " get out of the house, even if it's to get to a store to look

around, go to a park & sit on a bench, or just go for a ride in the

car...just get out. " I took his advice, and it helped me to cope.

It's just been the past couple of months that I have felt like I think

a human should feel like. Otherwise it would only be a rare day

here and there that I felt well at all. I still have a nasty (usually

night) here and there...but, mostly much better. The dragon

finally got tired of me I guess.

I see a doctor at the Mayo Clinic now, and he has told me that

the Stills should have been treated more aggressively from the

beginning. But, of course they didn't have some of the meds

they do now. Anyone diagnosed with AOSD now *should* be

treated aggressively as soon as possible to prevent joint damage,

and hopefully years of unnecessary suffering.

Take care, and hopefully get into a remission soon.

Hi ,

Welcome to our group and I'm glad you found us. I often wonder how our new

members find us. Where do you live? We've had a number of new members these

last few months so evidently, this disease is making a name for itself. It

took many years and many doctors before I was diagnosed. You are taking a lot

of

medications and I hope they are helping you feel better and to get around

better. I am only taking Enbrel and MtX and that combination is working great

for me. It took a lot of tries to get to that combination so keep trying until

one works for you.

That darn, sore throat is so misleading. I've had numerous cultures done

with no diagnosis. I refuse them now as I know they don't show anything.

Besides.......I have a very, high gag reflex and any stick with cotton on it

makes

me gag....... :o(

Take care and I hope you SSI is approved.

Your son can go to school. There are exemptions in most states. Where are

you located? Your son is about the same age as my son and probably got

quite a bit of mercury in his shots in the form of thimerosal (as did my

son). Look around at 4 - 9 year old children especially males. You will

be amazed at the number of children who do have some sort of disability.

What an outrage!!

Sandy,

I'm in Southern Cali....I know about the religious exemption but not beyong

that....Yes i'm more and more convinced it was from a vaccine and i'm leaning

more towards the MMR or the rotovirus one which was banned.. I have also been

trying to find out more about morphine given to pg women as well.. I had

morphine a few days before i had my son then they stopped it and induced me .

hello everyone

Hello Everyone

Hello Everyone,

I noticed that we have a lot of brand new members in the past few days.

Welcome to all of you.

I spoke with someone earlier on the phone and she really inspired me with a

lot of new ideas and also made me remember some things that I feel are important

in helping all of you to reach every goal you set for yourself.

First of all I hope you are taking a few moments a day to really think about

what it is you want. Be sure to see details in your creation. Remember you would

not build a house and leave out half the walls, so see all the details. See

yourself doing all the things you would like to do and see yourself with a big

smile on your face.

Imagine in your mind that you are somewhere that makes you feel nurtured and

joy filled. See the image as clearly as you possibly can. Focus on the joy you

feel. Focus on the way it makes you feel overall

Now here is what I would like you to try today.

After you have taken one complete,healing Life Lift breath while you are in

the " lift " portion of your breath close your eyes and grab on to the vision of

your goal in your mind. Use the time you are lifting to do your visualization of

your dreams and goals. Do this each and every time for 10 Life Lift breaths

daily.

Happy Breathing!

Happy Dreaming!

The result will be a happier, healthier, thinner and stronger YOU!

Take good care,

Rashelle

What can changing the way you breathe do for you?

Everything!

Remember that it is oxygen that burns fat, tones muscle, reduces stress and

increases strength and endurance.

Want to find the fountain of youth? Then learn to breathe in the most

efficient way possible with Life Lift!

Hello Everyone

Hello Everyone,

I am getting ready to walk out the door to go to the airport but I wanted to

say hello to all of you before I leave.

I hope to have my computer available when I arrive at my destination, but I

have learned that things do not always go as planned so I will say Happy

Holidays, to all of you. I hope you all have the most wonderful holidays

imaginable.

This is my favorite time of year. People seem to find the best in themselves

at this time of year.

We are moving our location of our new Health Center so I expect to have my

hands full for the next week or so. We had some serious leaking in our other

location so we are hoping the new place will be better.

I am off but I will be thinking of you and wishing everything good for each of

you.

Blessings to all of you and to all those you hold dear.

Rashelle

The Body You Have Always Wanted is Coming Soon!

What can changing the way you breathe do for you?

More than you can imagine!

Hi Tawney,

Is your computer fixed? I will call you this weekend before we go! I called last week because Mark was going to walk you through your computer stuff. We'll talk soon.

Hi Crista,

Yes, My computer seems to be doing fine so far. It was not sending or recieving emails and said my email was bouncing but that is no longer happening. Tell your husband thanks for trying to help. I would love to talk before you go to Utah. I will be home all day today and tomorrow until late afternoon. This weekend I work but if we haven't talked by then I will try to give you a call. I am having a lot of trouble with Tyler and the darn brace right now. I made an appointment with our local doctor for next Wed. I am going to beg him to put Tyler in another cast. He is not even wearing his brace right now since it is so tight. He cant even breathe in the thing. If nothing else I hope he will fit him for a new brace since we cannot go to Utah at this time. Our appointment with them is sometime in March. I am so scared what his curve is doing without any support but it hurts him and he is so miserable. It just goes to show it is a constant battle with these doctors. They feel his curve is low enough to maintain with a brace but we dont want to just maintain the curve we want to keep correcting. He did so well in the cast and was so happy. His back does look great but it is still a 25 degree curve and they say usually anything over 20 is progressive. Well Lets talk. Take Care Tawney
