Well i had a bit of swelling in my gums. Why are my teeth having so much trouble. Had the allergic reaction to the Arava. Well did not go to the eroom, just went to see doc. Was supposed to see him yesterday but he called in sick. My hands went wild last night. So red so swollen, rash and cracked much inflammation. A little better today i thought. Doc thinks they are horrible as he did not see how bad they were last night. He prescibed a cream. I am trying a milder antibiotic till the dentist returns on Jan 2nd. As for the allergy. Well i have been taking ten mg pred every 12 hours plus an allergy pill and i am alive. I would have taken more or gone to the eroom but i simply was not in the mood for over medicating my self if not necessary. Doc agreed scince it is working we will stick with that. If i get worse i will go to the eroom. He thinks i will feel better in about a week as for the allergy. I do not have to do the charcol thing to remove the Arava. So good i like it in my system a little bit. He said it would be minimally there in a week as i did not get much in my system. I see the RD soon so will see what he puts me on. And i am on more pred so I am awake and not in much pain. The Arava really worked fast and good, such a shame. But maybe i will respond quickly to something else. In the mean time i get more pred. I am happy about this. I was to misserable and flaring to bad and they had cut me back on pred thinking i could take the Arava but my teeth would not allow. Seems me and doc both think it is a different tooth. Close to the other teeth but not the same teeth. Who knows? But it dose not seem as bad, doc said he worried it could be a root infection. Well i will try the Keflex it is less hard on me then Cipro or Avelox. Good medicines but not long term like i have been. I got some blood work done also to check liver function and all. The lab said it would check everything as it cost the same as to check enimia ,potassium and liver function as to run everything so you get a freebe of sorts so the lab is running full comp plus liver function. will give me piece of mind untill RD visit in two and a half weeks. Anyway i am sick and allergic but feel better than i did a week ago. I am moving, even did dishes and mopped the floor and did laundry. Have not been doing much of this for three weeks it seems, so a clean house and being able to take care of myself is alot. Maybe my hands do not like me doing the dishes? LOL
Hope you get the hand and dental issues resolved soon!
Milly, I sure hope you get some more solid relief soon, but really pleased that you are feeling a little more comfortable in some places. Hugs to you. Poor you Milly
