Scott:
Thank you for posting that! It makes me feel better. I haven't researched it myself, just experienced it. Actually, stress is the WORST for causing my exacerbations. Junk food a little bit. I have been really stressed with my little grandson. Maybe that is it. Now the (detestable) holidays.
I take Plaquinel twice a day for my R.A. It works well for me. When I cut down on it I get pain right away so I know it's working.
I absolutely refuse to take any steroids or pain pills. A friend of mine died a horrible death with R.A. that way. She took so many steriods and new "junk" for R.A. and so many pain pills. Every bone in her body was broken when she died and the pain couldn't be stopped unless she was knocked out and even then she moaned. The morphine is actually what she died from. But there was little choice. It devastated her husband and children.
I'll fast and swim every day for a while and it will get better. I'm better already reading what Scott posted!
Thanks, Scott!!!
