[beaker]

Speak to your rheumy and tell them how you are feeling. xx

Beaker, my rheummy nurse does say that its a combination of things inflammation, bloods and pain but i think most times i have been there if the bloods hadn't been telling a story it would have been difficult to get them to take me seriously. Does the DAZ score not take into account the pain that you are experiencing?

I don't know my DAS score but thing too much emphasis is put on bloods - it's a systemic disease and should be treated as one. TTx

I know the feeling. I had a copy of my rhuemmy letter to my gp which says my disease is in remission. If thats the case how come I am getting more pain I wake in the morning in pain which never goes awayand I feel permanently exhausted. If this is remission then god help me when I flare up
