In a lot of pain. Joints very stiff and achy. Muscles aching. Headache, stomach pain. Very tired but can't sleep. I just took half of a Percocet-10 because I just can't push through the pain rite now. I'm hoping that will kick in soon.
This happens just about every morning to me. Does it happen to anyone else?
Does anyone know of anything else I can do?

For years I didn't know know that my son who is 8 had JIA and for a long time he didn't have any medication. I use to massage his joints every morning and at bedtime and I would also apply heat. This helped him some of the time. For the longest time he was in my bed or I was in his because he would even wake from sleeping I would give him a massage and he would fall back to sleep. I still do this now. I also taught self visualization. To like of soft warm colors and to see the bad engery flowing out and good engery flowing in. This helped him a lot for a long time. I hope this helps you some.

i think you need to see a doctor instead of taking medicines on your own. After a few tests doctors can come to a correct conclusion and offer you the best medicines. however, for the time being you can try some home remedies as they do not have side effects. http://www.top10homeremedies.com/home-remedies/home-remedies-for-arthritis.html

My best advice is gentle exercise in warm water
Exercise is often the last thing we feel like doing and many people find that walking aggrevates the pain for days after. Walking in warm water or water aerobics may be the solution if it is accessable to you.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
