Glad to hear someone else that suffers with RA and sews understands the flare ups and recovery periods. Lady Von

I took about 8 200mg Ibuprofen a day as well as up to 4mg prednisone (usually only on one) on top of my regular medication (including 1000mg of Naprosen)* and am still in terrific pain. The sewing trggered a massive inflamatory response (from toes to jaw with extra pain in those areas overused.) Anyway, just saying it's not just an added burden for time but for time taken to recover. That said I learnt I have indeed sped up and could be fast enough for industry standards, but couldn't keep that speed up for more than a day even with all the above precautions. h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume Lady Von http://www.wildthangstreasures.com --------------------------------- Check out the all-new Yahoo!
