Hi Alex, I'm so sorry you are having a bad day. We have to realize that, although it seems forever, a year off these powerful meds is not considered long. I am 63 and at a year off am also in very bad shape most of the time and my greatest fear is that my age wil prevent me from ever healing, or if I do get better I'll be too old and worn down to ever have any sort of life. Then, I look at friends in their 80s who are still active antd try to believe that if I can just make it another 6 months things will start to improve. If not will have to reassess. I am also thankful that I don't have young children to look after and can manage to eek by for the time being without working. Sending you healing vibes.
