Re: Flare??-Sue

[Guest guest]

Sue,

Thanks! I have an appointment this Thursday with my

Dr. How long do flares last? They give you

medication for the pain right? My husband couldn't

come home the first time it happened so my oldest

daughter was trying to take care of her sisters. I

just couldn't move. All I could do was lay in bed and

cry as quietly as possible because even that hurt.

Have a great day!

Nikki
