Hi Becky I recently had a flare that started just before my period. I don't know if that is a coincidence or if it was related. My period was heavier than usual, so I wondered if I was low on iron or...
Thanks so much for the responses, you guys. I haven't been online for a bit because I'm in a flare and have been so tired. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the support and the information. Hope...
Thanks so much for your response, Debbie....

Oh, I am so sorry....
I know that I try to keep a lot of my pains to myself and end up isolating myself sometimes because of that. I don't want people to think I'm crazy or a hypochondriac. I often feel down too. Sorry...
I'm so sorry to hear about Karen's stroke. I'll be sure to keep you all in my prayers. Get well soon, Karen!...
