Title: More questions!!!!
Post by: saranski on January 11, 2010, 01:46:10 PM
Hey everyone,
I have another question!!! I have been feeling physically better the last few days, decreased pain, decreased sweating, and slightly better fatigue.  Is that considered a remission???  Sorry, just wondering, new to this whole thing.

Hi Sarah  :)

It could well be the end of a 'flare'. Enjoy the good days. I've had several really good spells including one that lasted for a few years. I hopr you keep feeling better.

Take care - Scottie  :)

Hi Sarah

This is great news!  It could be the end of a flare, or it could be that meds are beginning to work.  Have you started on Plaquenil?  After a few months it can make a huge difference to some people - maybe you're one of them?

Thinking of you - Chickpea

Hey sarah,

Great news! The funny thing about sjogrens is that we all seem to have such bad days at times but then we also have so many good days as well....the key is to recognize those good days and take full advantage...but try not to overdo! And if you do overdo....at least enjoy it!  ;)

Wow Sarah
Hope you are still feeling as good and long may it continue - feel like you've won the lottery when you hit on a good streak!!

Hi Sarah,

The others are so right, it could be a lot of things, but I also hope it sticks around for a long time!

Take care -
