I understand you completely. It sounds like you have severe pain. I usually have pain, but during my flare-ups it actually helps me when I come to work. If I stay home, I tend to lay around and not do much---so they pain gets worse. I was given a 120 ml. of cortisone 3 weeks ago, and I also started taking "The ZONE" Omega-3 concentrate capsules....I also take Celebrex twice a day. The combination of these 3 have helped me feel great. I like walking....in the old days, I used to walk with my dogs about 3 miles a day. It's been months since I've been able to walk even a mile. Yesterday I was able to walk 2 miles....and had enough energy to clean my house. I feel for you, RA really does suck. The meds available are so dangerous. But don't give up, my Doctor and several articles are talking about new drugs that may be out by the end of this year that are not as dangerous.
