    I can sympathize with this painful condition. Even a deep breath can be painful.

    its generally managing pain & finding what works for u and anti infam meds help me a lot. Topical anti inflam meds help tremendously. A lot easier on my stomach..take med same time every day don't wait for a flare to get out of control.

    stay strong

      Julie yikes sorry that answer was for another discussion. Makes no sence here. I don't know how it ended up here. 

      But I can say that diazepam helped me sleep.. A real nightmare to tapper off. 

      Nice to meet you. Come see me in the THR discussions..
