I have not posted in a long time. I am 70 and have RA. I have been in pain so much these last few weeks because of 100% humidity and the barometer going up and down!

Have you been hurting a lot lately?? My doctor called in Medrol dose Pk beside my other medication.

What about you???

Hi Debb

When the humidity starts moving around I hurt too. Sorry that you're in so much pain 😞 Ive never heard of Medrol..hope it's working to alleviate your pain or at least take the edge off for you.

Take care

I’m 73 and don’t sleep due to pain. I refuse to take pain meds due to side effects. One of my doctors, not RA dr, recommended cannabis gummy bears and I now sleep through the night and much less pain. I’m in CA so it’s legal and a recreational dose.

I take mobic, over the counter ibuprofen and ultram ——all in small doses!! But they did not help me !!! I am an RN and know what I can take and when. He prescribed a one week supply of prednisone———which helped!!! Thank goodness!!!

I haven’t hurt that badly in many, many years!!! It reminded me when I was in my 50s and it hurt so badly! B
