Howdy to everyone! Been a few weeks since I been around..been a bit depressed. I was having a lot of pain in my lower back but it has really struck my neck viciously! This is kinda the first time for the neck and I have to say, I am really feeling distracted! Imagine that!! Anyway, may start enbrel soon, we'll see. Verrry nervous about that, scared of injections and I work in a dialysis unit!! any advice for neck pain and stiffness?? Kinda at a loss for words to ask my question...holy cow this is pretty rough right now. Would it be safe to remind myself that "this too shall pass"? Sorry to be whiny, just looking for a friend.

I love reading the things you guys write, this site is very encouraging and I get a lot of chuckles too. I hope I can soon restore myself to my very naughty inner child and a bit more of a cheeful countenance...a little hard when your neck is so stiff your cheeks are stuck in place! (no emoticon for this mood!!)I will keep trying...
