Hi All this was the first time upping my steroids have not worked on my flare up, Thrs 3am woke up in agony all over could not walk could not do anything, This was without any warning and i persevered thinking it might go as quick as it came, i know I know!! well here we are 3days later even after stepping up my steroids to more than double no joy it's so bad i would welcome a lung infection this is up there with the big one, has this happened to anyone no warning or steroids relief, have a nice Sunday.

Oh Matt have to say steroids have always worked for me. Very sorry to hear how bad you are. Maybe see if a steroid jab would help????? xxx

I had a steroid injection about 5 weeks ago (my first) and it did absolutely nothing and I am in so much pain so I understand how you feel although I can get around. I hope you feel a bit getter soon. Clemmie

Matt and Clemmie, I am thinking of you, but you both have to go back to the docs and push them as if the steroids aren't working then maybe the pain is due to a non inflammatory cause?

I just got gabapentin, a neuro drug which makes your body not realise your pain is there, it blocks the pin transmission and it really seems o be helping me at the moment.
