This is the first time I’ve heard anyone describe the pain, “like broken glass” in all my joints. I woke up like that in my hands one morning. It felt like broken glass in all the joints in my hands. Thank you. Nice to know I’m not that off.

Perfect timing to find these posts. Thank you. I’m in the midst of another flare within a flare. This time however I’m on NSAID and Tylenol so don’t understand why this is happening since I didn’t do anything outside of my regular routine….or at least for three weeks and don’t think flares have that much of a delayed reaction. Like RA guy I was forced to be creative with reinventing a bed pan since I couldn’t walk to bathroom not even with a walker. Stay strong everyone. Eventually the pain isn’t as bad

I cried. Its so incredible to read others experience through this similar to mine. I cried because I understand and now realize there are others out there who can understand too. I cried because there is almost nothing we can do and at times seems so unworthy to try but we do because we must not let ourselves think or feel other wise. I cried because I thank you. I cried because all I want to do is use my hands. lol.
