Lady,
I am not well-versed in what is a relapse, flare, or what have you...I just know that most of the pain/stiffness has dissipated, and I feel so much more normal...I feel blessed. I almost forgot what this feels like, hee hee!

I would like to get better info on what the terms mean, since I don't really understand them. I quite frankly have been trying to ignore reading up as much, so as to ignore the whole thing. But I guess that's being an ostrich who's head's in the sand.

Thanks to all for the well-wishes!
