This is going to be my last post that makes me seem like I am obssessed or even worrying about something. After this post I will be putting all my ramblings on MySpace. Might not help me to think more because there I will not get any feedback like I do here, which helps spark me to think of something different and then that helps me to understand what I am confused about.

Anyways...
 
Why does it always seem like I am flaring?
 
Many body parts are swelled on me everyday. Except when the good ole Remicade is in me. I have multiple parts swelling even on this 20mg of pred I am on now. both knees, my left ankle, and the right side of my jaw. I know why I am swelled and starting to hurt, it is because we are under a winter weather advisory.
 
Could I really be flaring everyday?
Yes, you could be flaring everyday...I know I do, but my RA has never been under control.  Been in a flare for over a year, some days worse then others.
 
And I don't think you need to stop posting here and go to MySpace...the point of these boards is to come with questions and concerns and get answers and support...with this disease, there are no stupid questions or ramblings...it is confusing to all of us, so as far as I am concerned, ask away!!  :)
Just wanted to respond that I think you seem like a really sweet person and I am glad to hear about other peoples issues because it is nice to know someone else knows what you are going through.  I have no ideas about flare long term tho as I was just diagnosed and still learning.  Thank you for being a pal to everyone on here and dont be scared to tell people what you feel.Well... that is not good that you have been flaring for over a year. I am sorry your RA is still not under control. Neither is mine, has not been since I had my son 3 years ago. But I am so ready to be better and get on with my life.
 
Thanks for the reply. Hugs, Joonie!
