I don't think I have ever had a flare like you seem to have. Mine are more like Wren"s, with a huge dose of fatigue thrown in for good measure. (((((Gentle Hugs)))))My prayers are with you my friend.

Mine always lasted anywhere from 12 hours to four days -- they'd start suddenly, ramp immediately up in intensity, and then stay like that until they were over, which was always as sudden as the start. This hand, that knee, this foot. Today it's different. Mostly all low intensity, mostly all the time, and always in my hands and wrists. And yet there are times when I can cope with the pain better than others. I wish I could cry. Your courage is endlessly inspiring, RA Guy. I hope these bad flares will soon ease and give you a nice, long, pain-free break. I used to dream of flares that would last an hour or two, then go away.

The pain sounds awful. Just reading about it makes my own shoulder want to run and hide because it knows that pain you are talking about and it is bad. I am glad you made it to the other side. You are strong. I am glad you cried and let out those emotions and had such a loving person there to help you through it. Hugs, Cathy Yikes! The pain sounds awful.

Having RA requires going through almost an endless cycling of the grief process and sometimes you have to feel the sadness, but if you find that you are getting back to acceptance at a healthier pace - that is definitely something to be proud of. I hope you are having a better day today. Your strength is truly inspiring. We all need emotional release.
