Happy holiday to everyone. I haven't posted I. A while. I felt like if I didn't have anything good to say I shouldn't say anything at all. But here it goes anyway. I'm waiting on results from my MRI on back. It has hurt so bad this week the only position that's ok is laying if I sit it feels like a ton of bricks on my middle spine. It hurts to even breathe I can't keep my house clean and jm a neat FREAK!! Drivin me nuts. So still off meds becuz I can't start new orencia till after surgeries so everything is angry. And I'm having a tough time. I hope I find out tomorrow. Blessings all

Kim, my friend I am so sorry you have been suffering in silence. Sometimes when we don't hear from folks we think they are busy or away. So sorry to hear that things have not been well with you. I hope the MRI show something that you can get some help for. You know my prayers are with you. So sorry you have been having a tough time of it all. Does that mean pain meds are off or just biologics? Hope you get some relief soon.

Boy Kimberly, I know when a biologic fails it leaves you not only feeling disappointed but miserable as well. I certainly hope the MRI can get to the bottom of this. Hoping and praying everything is all right real soon.

Hi Kimberley,
Sorry to hear that you've been in such pain with your back. I hope your MRI results will lead to your being able to get some relief.
So far, every med and two biologics have failed me so I can relate to how you're feeling.
Keeping you in my thoughts.
Gentle hugs

Kim, so sorry you have to put up with so much discomfort. Hang in there. I hope the MRI shows something that makes sense and can be corrected.
