I can't walk when I have a bad flare. Not that it's too painful to walk, I physically can't walk. I can clench my teeth and hold onto things as I slowly make my way across the floor and watch snails pass me, but sometimes I can't even do that. I'll be standing, go to take a step, and find myslef on the floor. I have pain all over, but my SI joints are the epicenter of it all.
So anyway, I had my first Humira injection today. I met with the RN and it sounded like she did this all the time (educate people on how to take the meds). While we were talking she asked me when my last flare was, and I told her I just got over one. I explained that it was a mild flare, and when I get the really bad ones, I can't walk. That caught her attention and I can't remember what she said, but it sounded like she thought that was uncommon.
So am I the oddball?
