I can't compare to a chronic,,and the level 10 on the kip scale is relitive to how close an er is and do ya have a ride.The er is 60 miles away so I guess i'm not allowed to have a 10. And now we have so much more info and meds to help,There we'er the early years with no meds,,geez I can't think about that,there we'er quite a few 10s back then. I've had long cycles and short cycles,but things have stayed about the same,except the new meds make it a lot easier to maintain. The HA seem to come on faster now,and always seem to hit 8-9befor the meds hit,or else they don't develop past a6-7, which I figure the meds weren't nessasary for.This is the first time I ve used predisone,and it worked ,I tryed it 1988 and did'nt help but this time it's been a savior.They pain is not less for me ,and I'm in the 11 week now of this cycle,which has started being sporatic now, a few days PF , then Hell-o tricked your ass,..never had that before.The biggest change for me is OUCH and this board,,you guys are the best help a guy could have, this is the best thing that ever happen to me, others may not appreciatwe the support and understanding, But I keep saying there is a lot of emotionaal crap involved with ch ,that is worse than the pain.Damn it I dn't want my post on top.LOL Some body post over me.
