A year ago I didn't feel human at all. When I have a bad flare it's the same way..I have gone 10 days with minimal pain when WHAM! it hit me like a ton of bricks this afternoon. Coming home from Christmas with the in laws I was in tears and I am sitting here typing to keep my mind off my leg. I am glad that we have this forum to relate our disorder/syndrome to a great bunch of friends. I don't know what I did without you all!
