Kelly, are you sure you don't have any infection going on; bladder, sinuses, tooth, etc? Left untreated, this can lead to a full blown attack for some of us, especially those with active spinal lesions it seems.

I could still have the remnants of a sinus infection. If I dare miss a night without taking my Zyrtec I'm in big trouble. And I've had one of those headaches where the whole front of your face hurts and it feels like your teeth are all aching. Classic sinus headache. :rolleyes:

Kitty, I went into an attack due to a tooth infection a few years ago (as I've mentioned here before), but ANY infection sets off my symptoms.

I had bronchitis in July, which resulted in a sinus infection. Sinus infections are extremely difficult to clear up, and it can take as long as 3 weeks of a very potent antibiotic to clear them up for some of us. In fact, they could still see the infection in my MRI weeks after the first antibiotics, so I did another treatment with something stronger.

If you are still having sinus symptoms, go get a stronger antibiotic. Leaving an infection can lead to a full blown attack ...

Kelly,
Hope that you attend to this soon...maybe it is a sinus infection...those things are tough to get rid of, aren't they?
In the meantime, take care...and wouldn't you rather have chocolate-dipped strawberries with your whine than cheese?;)

I hope you feel better soon Kelly :hug:. I know the last thing you need is a flare or a sinus infection :(. Hopefully it's the weather causing this stuff. When do you get health insurance? If I remember, you still have more than a year to wait :(.

Medicare takes effect in September of 2010. I have another year to wait. :rolleyes: It's the stupidest thing....they agree I'm disabled but refuse to allow me insurance for 2 years. :confused: :confused: Who thinks up these rules??? Oh yeah.......now I remember. :rolleyes: :cool:

i sure hope this is not a flare. my feet are always numb.
if you think it's progression or a flare you should call your dr, and sooner than later miss. feel better soon.
