Hi . My heart goes out to you. It can be so difficult sometimes to determine whether you are experiencing progression or a flare. I hope that in your case, this is a flare. Have you talked with your doctor about your worsening symptoms? Do you take no medicine by choice or because either you can't afford it or your doctor won't prescribe it? Thinking of you and sending lots of gentle hugs your way. - Lori (Team Member)
