Yippee!...I am less miserable then yesterday..Okay, let me explain...I have had the worst month possible with almost constant flaring...meds...seemed to stop working...talked to the Dr. office everyday trying to find a way out of this disabling disease...got sick with sinus infection, sore throat , cough...then could not take some of my meds...basically what could go wrong went way.....wrong!...But today,is my last burst dose of prednisone and I am actually not fatigued....still have some pain and swelling but not much....and I go for my next infusion this Friday...so maybe I will finally get this RA under control...  I may not be as good as new, but, today I was able to function somewhat better then I could in the past month...I can walk without limping, no wrap on my knees..no wrap on my feet...(still have the wrist splint on)..my neck, and low back are less painful... I am so happy not to throb!...I am keeping my fingers crossed...hopefully, I will be okay, until I get my infusion.... Maybe, this time, my RA will be under control???.. I have been down the prednisone road before, and I know the let down once you stop it...so I guess I am praying that the infusion will take over where the prednisone left off...Just wanted to share my happy day with everyone...and I know as most of you do that whether it is minutes, hours, or days, the time we get relief from RA...gives us a boost and makes us remember how it used to be and maybe how it might be with proper treatment.... I hope everyone is doing better, and hanging in there...and hope this post doesnt make it seem like I am bragging, because I know that many of you are hurting badly...I wish the best for all of you...just wanted to share my good day with all of you... |
