that somehow got kicked into high gear and gave me lupus and fibro? Great... now, if they could only come up with a real cure, instead of just (barely) managing the symptoms month by month. Especially since many of these meds can't be used if you're pregnant or think you might be in the future. Not to mention that getting our pain meds for many of these conditions is getting harder and harder, and more expensive.
