bebop... sometimes you can take "everything" and just get a really long sleep...and when you wake, you're in horrible pain and don't have anything to take for it!
I'm in a flare currently also... not sure I will sleep tonight...have to remember to go to ER for a shot if that happens (and what time is the right time to decide that???)
TC! Tell me more about what surgery options you have, when you're able.
