    I think you should move up your appointment! Shocker that I would say that, eh?

    Voltaren is acetominophen. It's okay to use it but you have to be very careful to use the amount specified and not to take Tylenol internally as well. Tylenol is very toxic to the liver. It's surprisingly easy to overdose on it and cause liver damage.

    My blood work is monitored-dont laugh at that chris...they sent a note with my blood this time! I have my doctor and his nurse on speed dial and i have the lung specialist's card if I dont get a hold of the wg specialist. I saw my wg specialist sept 8th. I felt not as much pain then as I do now. I told myself it was the weather last week but that is getting tired. I think I am waiting for something more than knee pain before I get a hold of him. stubborn i guess. Stupid maybe more accurate

    That is why I was treated for it two or three times before i finally got diagnosed with Wegs a couple years later. I think maybe those insects bites caused the Wegs, yep I am going to blame those little buggers and find me a lawyer to sue them.

    Unless you are tapering prednisone, the joint pain is not a good sign. Sometimes during a taper you might have some transient joint pain for a few days but if it doesn't go away soon then you might need more pred and/or other treatment for Wegs.

    Well, as you already know... if it's Wegs and you wait for more signs, you'll get them for sure.

    I am just so afraid of the drugs, and somtimes over the last few years I have had mild flares that have gone away. I feel as though my body has been fighting itself for the last year but it is losing its battle lately. I am so confused. I thought it would be easier second time around.

    Drz, I am currently not on any mediction.

    I don't know how it is for you, but if the joint pain gets to my knees it usually indicates highly active Wegs.
