You find a Rheumatologist doctor that is concerned about your psychical condition and that is willing to do what it takes to help you find comfort in this illness we call PAIN!! You go on medication for both the pain and the inflammation (NSAIDs) --some times you might need to be own a few meds at one time....... and then you rest when you need to and do what you can when able and rest some more when you have nothing to give due to the pain and lack of energy.
