4th Upper respiratory this year

Okay 4th time this year; getting really boring. Both my gp and rheumy made me get a second xray within 2 months. Clear & normal so tomorrow I start 32 mg steroids for 5 days. Not looking forward to the roid rush that will follow; my family have all been told just to give me a bit of space, cause I can turn into a bitch on wheels with my regular flare dosage (4mg, 6 for 5 days then go down one a day until done). So I will be taking 32 for 5 days. Not thrilling. I need to get rid of this stuff my daughter is expecting a little girl this month and I just don't want to be coughing my head off. My chest is so sore from coughing. I'm done with antibiotics so I did get to go back on methotrexate, seems like in the nick of time, everything has started hurting. Just feel like venting big time; it isn't fair, what did I ever to do deserve this crap?  I'm so glad to be able to get this off my chest, with no judgements.  So tired tonight, hope I get some sleep tonight.  Hope everyone here is better than yesterday. Trish
