I had a great rd appt. today. RD said I have no new damage since I have been on Enbrel. He also said he was "impressed" with how well I am doing. I am going back on mtx. I was having my blood taken too close to when I took my mtx and that is why my liver enzymes were raised. He said to have blood tests taken day before you take mtx. He also said I should take darvocet for morning stiffness and after activity. He said taking 2-3 darvocet a day will not harm you or raise liver enzymes. Darvocet really are like aspirin for me. Also, I talked to him about dental work. I have to have a tooth pulled
I don't know much about vocational therapy so if anyone has any experience with that, I would love to hear from you. Anyway, ALL GOOD NEWS Roxy-What great news! Sounds like you have a good
RD. and I;m glad you get to start back on mtx. I know
it really helps me.
I don't have any experience with vocational therapy,
but i imagine it will be really good. So encouraging
to get such good news.
Would it be asking too much to ask you to post a photo of you and
Brett? You are an adorable pair and I am sure that a lot of
newbies would love to see one. Your wedding picture was very
nice. How about it Rox? This might prompt others to post
photos.
Hugs, Justme
You know I love to show off my sweetheart so here is one of our trip to Oregon. I am having a hard time resizing - sorry. Still looking for wedding pic.
Glad to hear that everything is starting to look up
I think what the doctors are talking about is...is sending you to a vocational skills centers, to evaluating your skills and physical abilities, then maybe find you another career or job that the RA will not make it impossible for you to do...also they can send you to school. As much as you love being a Forrest Ranger. You may not be able to continue on with being one if the RA progresses any further.
Great pictures and I love
Have a wonerful weekend.

OPPS...I forgot to add the link to my last post.
Roxy,
Here is a link to free software for photo editing. It will help you re-size pictures.

Look at the right side of the page and in a elongated box you will see a listing, "free download", for this software. I use it and it works great.

Thanks Toni. I will download that software and give it a try. Brett and I bought a bunch of "for dummies" books to improve our computer skills.
Those pics I posted he hates because he had a belly. He does physical work for a living so he usually can keep his weight down. He eats like a HORSE so it has been a real challenge living with him and being on pred and trying to keep MY weight down.
Toni, My computer won't let me download that program. It says it does not recognize publisher. I have photoshop so resized in there. I have a photoshop for dummies - I need to learn it.
