[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 218253"] You know, I don't even care if they give it a specific name. Let's just call it autoimmune and inflammatory because those conditions are almost all treated with the same medications. I have inflammation. I run a fever with flares. I have flares. I have an elevated white blood count *every time* they do a CBC. My grandmother has RA, so it's in the family (wish she would have told me this, I don't know, 18 months ago!!!!!:angry:) and it's not uncommon to have more than one autoimmune disease at a time. If it walks like a duck.... So, let's bleepin' treat it already. The toradol has been by far the best medication so far. Way better than even the high dose steroids - of course, not having the steroid side effects helps a lot, too. But, I can only take it for 5 days and it knocks me out. I don't know how often I can take it, but I guess we'll find out. [/QUOTE]
