Hi dear friends

I will be going camping today. Yes, it finally is happening. Once I get there, even if I have a flare it is ok...it is just getting there.

I will return Mon and Tue for some doc apps and head back Tues evening.

I will stay until the 23, come back and and see new rheumy the 24th. Again, I will go back and we will stay until we want to come home.

That is our plan. So I will not be on here much because there is no internet service there.

Will miss all but will return on as soon as possible.

Vickie, that is great that you are taking advantage of feeling better.

Have fun, relax alot, and enjoy yourself. We are talking about doing a week of camping in August. I may go this year as I really miss it.

Hugs

enjoy your trip.Have a wonderfully relaxing, stress free time. I have missed you guys some much. glad you seem to be doing better. It has been a very hard stressfull and painful return to work. I know that with time it will get easier but right now I am so overwhelmed. The doctor took me off my Cellcept and it starting to leave me body and I can feel it everywhere. They have started me on plaquinal but with all immune suppressant it could take up to three months. I also have to get an ultrasound to look at my liver. SO i will probably be going up on the prednisone. Can't any of us just get to a happy place and stay there for a bit. any who. just want to see how everyone is doing. hope all is well.

hs.. Im sorry you're feeling so lousy, but I hope that the change in your meds will ultimately help you get some relief. Returning to work when you feel lousy makes life even more difficult. It just adds to your exhaustion and pain levels. We'll keep you in our thoughts...

Vickie... I hope that you have fabulous time camping, that your weather will be wonderful, that you'll have incredible food, and that you will return with a renewed spirit and body.
