Gosh Kia Welcome!

What would you need to offer besides being you? Members participate in different ways and some may hardly ever post. Just jump in on occasion. We all benefit from each other's experience and understanding. I am glad you are here. it is really nice to have a place where everyone gets it. We have power in numbers.

I am sorry you are flaring right now and hope you were able to find a way to calm things down enough to get some rest.

Sending soft hugs, :hug:

Hi Amy and Kia,
You both found a great place here. The folks are very friendly and always willing to listen, talk and help.
The stories may be different but we all share a monster that wrecks us all.
Welcome to you both and jump in anytime...:grouphug:

hi we've all been there, I really hope your feeling better now and in the future

Hi, welcome to the group. There are others here with arm hand injuries.me- im a hip foot person. I also have the brain fog you mentioned and swear my next car will hsve a gps. Sometimes i remember directions and sometimes i dont. Ha ha. Definitely look into treatment options though because early intervention is best. Take care

Hang in there Kgreene. I too find that I can handle the pain by myself until it gets really bad, then, like you, I reach out to find someone to chat with just to take my mind off of how much I hurt. In my case this is usually one of my sisters or a close friend that I can text with. I'm guessing that since they monitor and must approve of all of my posts, this probably won't be approved until the morning. But.. Please know.. I'm praying for you through out this night.
