Guest guest Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I know I can come and cry here today and feel sorry for myself please. I've known this disease as part of my body for thirty years and have been so very blessed to have been pretty much free of active disease for a long time and I know from many early years how well this disease loves to react to stress, so as a result I am not too surprised that several weeks ago I started having small aches in the lymph gland of my neck when getting upset and then the back of my neck last week and my old knee starting to be stiff when I woke up in the mornings lately. Today I woke and cannot straighten it and it is the first time I have fluid in a joint in many years. I am used to pain, of course. You don't live with Still's and not be, but I am so sorry for my loved ones here that have it actively every day as I am so reminded today in such a small but remembered way. It saddens me. I'm sure it will be better and I have been making the changes necessary to lessen the stresses in my life this week and is as well but it is neverless a very STRONG reminder of the very worst enemy we have to our immune systems with this disease, in my opinion, STRESS. Take care my family and try to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
