Being in a Flare Rut.......

[spastic]

Hi everybody.  I just wanted to give you all an update.  I have been in a flare for awhile now and have been taking steroids to get this crazy monster called Stills under some control.  It has been hard not being able to type and talk to all of you when I need you.  My wrists, ankles and knees are the new attack victim's and I have to admit, it hurts like H***!!!!  Can't wait to see the damage on the x-rays.  But for the most part I think it is on its way out of here.  Gradually getting energy up and feeling better.

I just wanted to let you all know, I am thinking of you and missing you all like crazy!!!! Sending Many, Many, Cyber Hugs and Kisses to all of you!!!

Love,

Ada

I too have been in a falir up and just waiting for it to end.  I don't want to do the steriod thing right now, since my body doesn't react well.  Causes blood pressure and diabetes problems for me.  That I don't need on top of a flair up.  I just pray this all ends for both of us soon.

I'm thinking of you sweetheart and praying that you feel better soon.

Big Hugs,
Heather

Seriously though, hope it subsides soon!

Sorry you are having issues! I havent been here much at all either because of the same thing. Flair I guess you could call it. Anyway, glad you are feeling better. I know I missed the forum when I could not type. This place is addictive!! Take care of yourself

Praying
Blessings,

Hi Ada,

I'm so sorry that this ugly monster is rearing it's ugly head at you.  Man I just wish it would all stop.  I know what you feel like when I went through my last flare my wrist and arms hurt so bad.  It hurt to get a drink of water.  Just picking up the glass took both hands and then it would still make me cry.

I sure do hope that your flare is about over.  We certainly miss those who don't post for a while.  The reason I skipped out for a while is because I've felt so much better that I've been taking advantage of every minute.  That means not spending very much time on the computer but doing things with the family or just being outside.  Just because I'm on line now doesn't mean I don't feel good it just means I feel like I have a priority to my MS family here and I'm trying to make time to be here as much as I can.

Usually when one of us is gone for a while we automatically assume it's because they are in a flare or even worse.  Well I'm proof that's not always the reason but in all fairness we should always let our MS family know just so they don't worry.  So thank you for letting us know your reason for being gone so much.  I truly hope and pray that you just keep getting better and better.  Hang in there honey we are survivors and trust me, even though I didn't think it was possible with MS there are times when you do actually feel human again.

I'll be praying,
Carol
