I wish I could fly to England to see you and take all of your pain away Bram. I'm so sorry you are hurting so much. I understand how tiring this horrible disease is especially with flares. What I do when I get flares is follow your advice about getting my emergency rsd flare list and kit out and try to remind myself (like you and Vrae and Tessa and Nanc and AZDi and all the others on this forum have told me) that "this too shall pass". I hope your flare ends soon and that you have chocolate around. If not, tell your husband to get you some immediately. And remember the muppetry. That helped put a smile on my face the other night when I was hurting. I'll pray that you feel better soon my friend. Try to get some rest in the meantime. Take care. With love, Renee.
