Rash better..joints not

From one side effect to another. I am hopeful that this joint pain will also be temporary as I am having trouble with simple things such as getting out of bed, opening containers, getting a shirt over my head, walking, etc.

I did make myself go out with the dog this morning and slowly walk around the block and the pain in my feet and legs felt better when I got home. So maybe using the joints helps loosen them up and lessen the pain.

But I must admit that I am having trouble not getting discouraged. I want so for this drug to work and for the side effects to be manageable enough that I can enjoy life activities.

Got to remember to "Manage gracefully!!!"
