Hey all...I've been gone for quite some time. I'm not even sure when my last post would of been. Some of you may remember me and the University of Alabama (TEARS) study I participated in. Well, that study came to an end in April and although it did bring some relief, it was not what I had hoped for. Unfortunately when the the study ended last month my rheumy took me off everything except methotrexate for 30 days. I declined the mtx as it has made me extremly sick for the last two years leaving me on absolutely nothing. My rheumy advised against my decision with the mtx but I advised him that losing 3 days of my life every week to vomiting and lethargy was not worth it to me. Believe me when I tell you...these past 3 weeks have NOT been fun. I have prednisone that I take on my own when needed and pain killers galore that do absolutely nothing. My latest pain med is Tylox aka Oxycodone which I'm very disappointed with. The tylox does make me "stoned" but has no effect on my pain. I go back to the rheumy next Thursday and I have absolutely no idea what is going to happen at that visit. Surely he will try to get me to join yet another study. I'm not exactly thrilled but financially, studies are my only real option. I did apply for partial dissability last year when I had to go to part time work. I was denied because I have a life insurance policy that they claimed as an asset. I was so disgusted that I guess I lost hope and became angry and depressed. It's taken me awhile but I've somewhat pulled myself back together and am ready to give it another go. I'm not really sure why I stopped coming to to boards as I always found support and peace here. I guess sometimes when you fall, you fall so far down that it takes awhile to climb back up. If anyone is on disability that has some insight, I welcome any suggestions or advice. If there's anyone here that I can help in some way...bring it on cuz Neasy's back!
Peace & Love.....Neasy
