    Pain Sucks

    Pain at about a 6 today. Sucks. Making it hard to work. I have decided that my husband hears about my pain all the time so I figured I should share the pain with you people and spare him since he cannot possibly understand how much this hurts and how frustrating it is. This recent "flare" I...

    Is the cold worse for this?

    Do you find symptoms are worse in the colder months? I'm trying to determine if that's what's going on with me (weather related) or if it's coincidental. I'm a stay at home mom, so the only difference in fall vs summer is the temperature or the fact two of my kids are in school. Until snow...
