Well, i thought i'd better check in and let you know how its going, the weekend wasn't too great, and my week started at 0230 monday morning, when i woke to find i was completely stuck and crying in pain with my left hip and back again! Didn't get anymore sleep that night as, unlike before when it happened, nothing i did eased it enough.
I'm sorry your troubles continue to worsen...but it does sound like you're getting a little more help.
I'll continue to keep you and Sweet little Billy in my thoughts and prayers.
Take Care.

Tori, I can soooooo relate to the hip pain. I was just trying to describe it to Brett. I can take the pain in my extremities, hands and feet, but when it is in my hips - it is like my whole body is hurting because of it. My heart goes out to you. I am glad you got in with your gp and your mom is being more understanding. I am also glad you have friends to help you with this move. I get so scared when I think about trying to cope with ra alone. Those of you who do just that - you are amazing! I have always been VERY independent but I have been feeling very needy since ra onset and I feel like when I am alone, I don't get anything done. I spend so much time, just trying to get comfortable and trying to cope. Someday Tori, you and I are going to get on the right meds and get our lives back. Until then - I am grateful I have Brett and access to good medical care. Many people with ra are not so lucky. Good luck on your move and I hope the medication brings you some relief.Results of xrays not available for a week apparently. although i'm not sure what they're gonna show anyway? Roxy, I have my fingers crossed in spirit! in practice there's no hope of crossing them, but like you say, one day maybe it will all be better than it is now, doesn't do much for a positive outlook if you can't hope it will get better.
