Nightly Pains

[Guest guest]

The Circadian Rhythm of Rheumatoid Arthritis

It seems with most of us, RAers, that the pain and joint stiff are at

their height between 2 and 4 am. In this recent flair, I , like the

protagonist in " The Amityville Horror " , wake up at 2 am every night

with severe pain and stiffness in most joints. I usually, with great

difficulty, hobble to the toilet, like an extra from " The Robe " and by

the time I get back into my bunk, I am shivering and shaking and

freezing, like the African explorer, Mungo Park, in the swamps of the

Gambia.

My Question is: Does anything else suffer this nightly terror of

shivering and feeling very cold when in a flair? Please let me know.

Ken.
