Why pain increases with activity?

[Guest guest]

I did not want to start taking my Plaquenil, really did not want the

commmitment of all of this. I was feeling o.k. this weekend and did

alot of work around the house.

Well this morning I woke up in agony which I am still in. So I

started the Plaquenil this morning. Does anyone know why simple tasks

around the house can cause such pain? I don't get it and I do not

want it. I need to be active. I can't sit for hours on end doing

nothing, it's not me.

Thanks for your support. I guess I do not want to believe that I can

possibly be afflicted by some kind of inflammatory illness that might

stick around for a lifetime. The worse part is going to be this wait

and see approach.
