i know what you mean. when i go to the rheumy in the middle of the day usually before i've worked much, i'm not in too much pain unless in the middle of a flare so hard to convey how much pain i'm in at times.

still, you could try it. it should also help not hurt as much the next day.

here, the weather is fine, hundreds of miles from the coast, just a bit overcast due to irene. they say it'll get a bit windy, but i'm sure compared to the wind we get in the winter, it'll be nothing. mostly hoping family is ok. niece with cell phone that she uses for the internet is my communication line. she's fine but says she too hasn't heard from family since before the storm hit. they're all in MD and NJ, so hoping its just loss of power and not flooding. my family's all pretty cautious, so think they should all be ok.
