Since Saturday, I have endured some of the worst Rheumatoid Arthritis pain I have ever been through in 17 years. I was actually crying and feeling like my body was being torn apart on Saturday, and I had to have my elbow in a tensor bandage because even the slightest movement was 10/10 pain.
Then it went into my shoulder, and my right knee. Last night I could not walk the pain was so bad in my knee. It was swollen like a balloon.
I've been swallowing prednisone like candy, not a good thing to do, but I cannot survive without it. Plus it is affecting my mental health, as it always does.
I probably need a new med, but I have a new rheumatologist and I cannot see him till the end of March. I also have my doubts about finding a med that is strong enough, that won't destroy my liver/kidneys and other horrid side effects.
Thanks for your prayers!
