HANG IN THERE.....keep on fighting !!!
I will continue to pray for you.......God Bless .......
BLESSINGS and gentle HUGS :)
Oh sweetie,
We all, and I mean every one of us have had these times. I know that you are not thrilled about the side effects of tx but as my Rheumy tells me whenever I start having a back-slide that you "do whatever you have to do to put the smack down on this".
I went to a wedding over the weekend and hadn't seen many people in more than a year and the looks and whispers nearly made me cry. I have lost so much weight, the light through the car window had made it so difficult to walk, and I felt about 80 years old. I am only in my mid forties and was always very smart and active. Although, my husband says I am too hard on myself, I know that I although many people call this an "invisible" disease it does when you have gone as long as you have in constant flare.
Travelling is difficult, so rest before, sleep any time you can and don't be stubborn (as I tend to be) about asking for help.
Best wishes for a turn for the better.

Bless all of your hearts....we are family here!
