I'm sorry that this is happening to you...Maybe you should slow down a little, your body is trying to tell you something. Try some epsom salt baths after work. Are you feeling more stressed that can put you into a good flare as well. Listen to your body, slow down. I hope you fell better soon.

Then...Thursday night...literally just STANDING there...I got one of those instant flares where I went from my normal 6 on the pain scale to an 11. I had a physical flashback to Feb. when I had to hold on to fixtures to make it from one side of the store to the other. It was BAD. I lucked out (if you can call it that) and had the weekend off. I spent it resting and by this morning I was feeling more or less back to normal (meaning 6/7 on the pain scale). But after a full day of work I'm suffering again.
I guess this means that it's time to go back to the doctor and see where to go from here. I'm just so incredibly disheartened to feel like I am back peddling so fast. And it couldn't happen at a worse time. Guess that's just how it goes sometimes...
Just needed to vent a little...get it off my chest...
