sry it took me a while to get back. Yes I have a family doctor only, and he is not much help so I did my own research.
It sure explains alot of what I have been experiencing in the last few years. The flares are just miserable, but I keep on going,
try very hard to deal with it. My doctor has me on some sleep pill, which is a godsend , I was only sleeping about 3-4 hrs a nite, so
6 hrs is way better, lol. Also some antidepressant for my sadness. I have my tylenol, for my pain, and some other presc he gave me
but I do not take them regularly,only when my pain is intolerable at bed time. I have alot of challenges , just take one at a time and try
to do my best. I am so glad I found this site, so nice to hear Im not the only one . The more I read , the more I see how many of us
have much the same woes. We are not alone in this group , tytyty to everyone and bless you.
