I have been struggling with this for years. I wanted - to compare symptoms to

see if my instincts are correct.

1. Daily chronic pain in joints.
2. Painful swelling everyday (Weather fronts dang near kill me).
3. Chronic fatigue. If allowed, I could nap four times a day.
4. I take hydrocortisone 10 mg a day and it really doesn't offer much relief.
5. Flares which make you feel like you have the flu.
6. Let's talk about brain fog/focus problems.

I'm so tired of this. Are these symptoms what you have experienced? Do you take any medication for it? I'm not thrilled with the idea of taking methotrexate as it is a chemotherapy drug and I already have a hair loss problem from low normal thyroid.

Getting old sucks the big one.
