It was so good for me to go to church this morning. I had to sit and stand and sit and stand but it was so nice to get my mind off my ra. For those of you who like me sometimes feel that you cannot bear ra any longer and it will never get better. (There is not a bigger complainer than me this last week) You know what. I feel better. Very stiff and walk with a limp but I took my dogs on my shuffle dog walk and went to a thrift store (got a wheelbarrow for only ) I have only taken one muscle relaxer and one darvocett and I have been up for almost six hours!
I did not take my mtx last night. I decided I just could not take the side effects. I will take it again after I start my Enbrel. Besides, if I am going to be in pain I would like it to be when I do business with my rd office, I want to be MOTIVATED !!!!!!
Hubby suggested I go up the mountain as soon as I get injection. I think that is a good idea. He also said if I do not get what I need on Monday accomplished - he is going to call rd. Hubby works on the tracks out in the mountains and you can't get ahold of him by phone usually during the day. He is going to make a special trip to call rd if I don't get my Enbrel. Brett is even mad and I never see him mad !!!!!! I am feeling more optimistic. If I knew it would take this long, I would have tried for my Humira again with new insurance. Maybe it was all meant to happen this way and Enbrel is the biologic for me!
OK I am rambling but just had to let you guys know today is a much better day. I think the ra monster is in his cage for the day !!!! I can actually enjoy being alive and it is beautiful fall weather here. I may just try to work in the yard a bit this afternoon.
PS Just listening to Prairie Home Companion. Anyone else listen to it on the radio. I love that show!
Hi Rox,
I'm so glad it is a better day for you. I saw your post at ra friends and wanted to say hi here because you are here now. Oscar is good, I'm still
Always thinking of ya Rox, I pmd you but it did'nt go through I don't know why.....my box was full not sure if that was it or not. Was'nt a big deal just wanted you to know I was thinking of you and glad to see you were posting and okay after finding out your winning combo was a looser
I don't think PM's have worked for a few days? Mine haven't gone thru either. It was so good for me to go to church this morning. I had to sit and stand and sit and stand but it was so nice to get my mind off my ra. I think that is one of the BIG keys to living well with this disease. Learn how to get your mind off your pain. Much easier said than done, but it really helps me.
