I wrote a nice email to my endo explaining that I had been off the anti-inflammatory for 2 weeks and for 2 weeks I felt like I’d been hit by a truck the day before. Stiff and sore, hard to get up out of bed, etc.
I wanted to have a good agility trial this weekend, so I started back on them and back on the allergy medication (Nasonex), in case the pollen is bad, but it should have all frozen.
It’s not the knee that needs it, it’s the whole body.
To me, quality of life is more important, plus I’m more active on the anti-inflammatory, so it’s easier to control the blood sugar.
I will try getting off periodically, but for now, I need them.
