Welcome to the RA forum. But not to the disease, of course. In the message place, there is a reply button at the top. It should send the message for you. On the board, there is a "reply to this message" in yellow. It doesn't always work properly. Doug figured out that if it says "close" then you have to click on the right side of the board, where there are no ads, and it will open up a comment box. When you have typed in the comment, press add. I hope it works - post again if you are still having problems.

Ask away, Kathy. I'm available. If it's easier, you can send me a personal msg, but if you can figure out the "reply" thing, it's always nice to let others see the whole thread..

I did have occasion to remember what helped me significantly with my burning pain: massage. That was probably the most effective thing in getting me over the hurdle with fibromyalgia, and got me to the point where I could exercise again, helped with sleep, and the long list of physiological benefits, not the least of which is relaxtion. I have no idea if the pain is related, but check with your doc to see if massage is OK for you.
