Flaring....again

[Guest guest]

Hi group!

I don't post all that often but am feeling frustrated!

Back in October I went off all my meds because I had planned to

attempt a pregnancy in December and was also having some skin

reactions to the meds I was on. To make a long story short (kinda) I

wasn't able to become pregnant in Dec or Jan so I've given up for

the time being because my RA continues to get worse and worse while

off the meds.

Since I had an apt for April, last month I just called my dr. and

said enough was enough and she went ahead and put me on 5mg of

prednisone daily until I could get back in to see her (which

thankfully I go tomorrow). Between that and the Mobic that I started

taking again I've been able to coast by until recently. The last few

days have been really rough. I'm having little flares all over and

tonight it's my jaw. I can't close it or really open up, my mouth is

stuck just about in the middle; it's driving me nuts, almost feels a

little numb and just aches no matter what.

Thankfully I do go to her tomorrow morning but am feeling pretty

lousy because I know whichever meds she decides to put me back on

will take weeks to kick in and I'm wondering how I can keep going in

the meantime. I'm so tired again and just dont have time for

this ....haha...as if my body listens. The last meds I was on were

plaquenil and mtx, and I'm on mobic and the pred now, any

suggestions that I should ask for med wise? Any ideas?

Thanks
