Hi guys,
Just wondering, how far between are your relapses? I have a relapse atleast every month and a half to two months. Is this normal or am I lucky? During the relapse I become very stiff, crippling pain and extreme fatigue and sleepiness. This lasts for about 3-4 days and then goes away.
Do any of you feel the same way?
Hi aquarium81,
Welcome to AI and it's nice to meet you.
I like that number, 81.
I sorta feel that old today. My Bones have really been rattling lately.
What is happening to you sorta sounds like my story. Every month or so, I have to have a few days of RA flaring or there is something wrong with me...LOL. Most of the time(when I am flaring) I am very stiff and very tired w/controlled pain, for 3 or 4 days and then WHAM....gone. So, I am quite sure what you are going through is pretty much normal for some people.
Hope you are feeling pretty good for now. What meds are you on? and are they helping you when you are not flaring?
Welcome to AI again
Take good care of yourself aquarium81.
Toni
Hi Aquarium,
Welcome!!! I think the monthly flares are from hormones!!!!! I blame everything on hormones. That's why more women than men have RA.
