About flaregirl

Hi I just happened to fall upon this site. I am thankful for finding it as my record keeping skills are really not up to par anymore. :( This site will allow me to do so and meet people at the same time. I truly believe the more we all learn from one another the better we can be treated for our symptoms. I am in moderate pain most of the time, some days much better than others. I am always exhausted. I try to take naps when ever possible. I have full laundry baskets all the time waiting to be folded. I just don't have the energy!

My joints are a bit better due to steroids. But, since having migraine pain, nausea has been a friend of mine lately.
