Just curious how often others take their "extra helping meds?" Muscle relaxers? Steroids? Pain pills? Are they being taken everyday or as needed using them on really bad pain days?🤔

I take mine daily. Definitely have tried not, because who wants to take any. That always comes back to bite me, so I take them daily and overall, it helps.

I only take muscle relaxer when I have a pain all day and I don't take any pain pills everyday only when I cannot tolerate the pain. I do take hydrochloroquine daily.
