Happy Easter
Happy Easter! Had some more snow last night, yuk. It seems like spring will never get here. I'm looking forward to spending time in the garden. Started a new one in the front of the house with perenials last year anxious to see how it turns out. Planted wildflowers (which I love) in the back.Was reading the discussion about flares, I used to be able to recognize when a flare is coming but not so much anymore. Now I can be really bad one day (yesterday) and feel so much better the next. It comes and goes so randomly anymore. Not sure if its because of the Enbrel, stress or that its because I have had RA for so long? Something I'll bring up to the rheumy when I see him. Started a list of ?'s so I don't forget.

Cindy, my pain comes randomly as well. One day I cannot move and the next I am in NO pain. Go figure? I think after having RA for a long time we just tend to adjust to our bodies however they are in a given day. We also know the pain does go away eventually so we are able to cope a little better. Just my take on things. I know what you mean about spring. I think we will go from snow to hot weather! Grrrr as I really enjoy the spring! Happy easterhon. ((hugs))marcia
Interesting stuff about the flares huh? When I was on Enbrel I don\'t recall any flares in the 1st couple of years while I was taking MTX, too. The last couple of years were kind of like you describe - except I always had a bad day after the injection.
Marcia, you\'re probably right - after having RA for so long I think we have a high pain tolerance. I know I just work around it. Just in thinking about this I realize it has been years since I\'ve had a compeletly pain free day - but I don\'t feel bad. Whatever ... Happy Easter! xoxoxox
