Guest guest Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Hi Lillian, Welcome to this wonderful support group. You have found a place that doesn't have all of the answers but never quits looking for them. First of all I think we have all been through what you are going through and it isn't pleasant. Sometimes you have to be forceful to get your point through to your doctor. We all have what the doctor's call " flares " , sounds like that is what you are going through. The good news is that most of the time the flares calm down and can be treated if they don't improve. You said you are on all kinds of medicine. Do you mind telling us what you are taking. If you have read many of these posts you have probably noticed that we all have a regime that suits just us. You will eventually get to the point that your pain is manageable and be on just the right medication just for you. Just hang in there and be as aggressive about your treatment as this disease is aggressive against your body. There are some very caring people here that don't mind if you vent once in a while. It helps just to have someone listen who knows what you are going through. You are seeing a Rheumatologist aren't you?
