Warm bath water or pool water seems to loosen up my joints and relieve the pain for a few hours. My jacuzzi helps a lot because it is warm and massages the joints. The doctor said any kind of warm water and massaging would help relieve the stiffness. As of right now, I am still on a low dosage of Prednisone, along with all the other medications. I still have some trouble going up stairs, rising from my chairs, bending down, etc. , but I am walking better.
Some days are worse than others.
For all you who suffer with Still's I know what you are going through, and God Bless You. Having this disease has made me learn to appreciate what God has gifted me with. I never knew what it was like to be dependant upon someone else before I got Still's. All I can say is that I couldn't have made it without my mother, father, sister, dear friends, and the Still's Disease Support Group by my side offering support and affection. But most of all, I couldn't have made it without God by my side.
