Subject: RE: BS: So that's why I feel like crap!
Raptor I am happy for your successful and productive experience with doctors.

I have been suffering and getting more and more ill for 6 years with a possible under / mis- diagnoses.

I am almost a month into the Vitamin D supplement and 2 weeks into the Lyrica meds and I am sleeping great and feeling much much better. My long bones are no longer throbbing with pain, though they are still tender if I press.   I was nearly jogging around work today. It is just wonderful to be able to move like this.

I still get very stiff after periods of sitting but it quickly dissipates upon movement. I do not wake feeling like I am coming down with the flu.

It will be interesting to see if the my blood results show any changes. They have changed little since first diagnoses of RA regardless of the dosage of the methotrexate to suppress my immune system.   

Hoping this is not a temporary remission and that the vitamin D is really working. Long may it reign.
