Guest guest Posted October 5, 2006 Report Posted October 5, 2006 Hi Kathe, I am still getting used to having something wrong with me, and I am coming to grips with this disease. I am educating myself through resources, such as this website. It has been helpful. The pain travels to different places within my body and there is swelling in several places. The pain is not too bad, because the doc has prescribed me Dolobid and wants to supplement with plaquenal. Since I am still experiencing pain, I plan on calling my doc tomorrow and asking him to prescribe me the plaquenal before my next visit. I know that I will be able to continue to function, because I have to. When I sit down for awhile, I will experience pain in the special joint of the day. Today it's knees, tomorrow it will probably be something different. This is what is difficult for me to understand, but I am slowly getting used to feeling pain in a different joint daily. Thanks for the words of encouragement and the helpful suggestions. Cohen blondie10@... rcohen1@... Quote
