Absolutely! I thin its crazy that doctors don't think it progresses when the pain only gets worst and our bodies have gotten a higher tolerance to the medications over time

Over the years I have had it worsen and than get a little better, but as I have aged I seem to feel weaker and I am more limited as to what I am able to do, it can be very disheartening, but I am glad to have those people in my life who encourage me and help me😊

I'd say yes , I've gone from a few flare ups with months in between to not coming out of this one for over a year . It's got to the point I can hardly move most days but I make myself keep going as I know if I just sit the pain is still there but I had no choice as to give up work in Feb ( this choice was not taken lightly ) 💜

This is such a valid question I would have to say YES!!! At breakfast yesterday I overheard some elderly ladies talking about just plain arthritis It made me think.., if I hurt this bad with a flare up what's it gonna be like when I'm 70. Probably wheelchair bound Bless you all

Thank you everyone. I'm so sorry you all are going through this. I never realized how bad this disease is but now I know. All we can do is spread awareness and advocate that this is real! So many people doubt what we say and they are wrong!
