update

[Guest guest]

Dearest Melt, thank you so much for the hug it really needed that. I go

back to my Dr on the 6th for updates and see how the MXT is going. I have

been on it a month, I just had my last work done. That was fun, lol. I'm

going to talk to him about the physical therapy. It was very akward using

the blow dryer this morning, and I have very short hair, lol. Thanks for

listening. Kelley in Colorado

Subject: Re: Update

Dear Kelley; I used to have that pain and it was inflammation of the

nerve

linings my doctor told me. What they told me many years ago was this is

not

just a disease of the joints. Still's can affect linings of the nerves,

heart, lungs etc. and muscles can also become painful too.

Lynn is correct in that physical therapy can help a lot by keeping our

supportive tissues healthy and strong to support weekend joints and also

full range of motion to reduce the loss of motion in joints that are

affected. I was always told to make water my best friend.

I am sorry to hear of you loss of your partner and hope that thru the

group

we can help support you during your times of pain and sadness.

We will be here and do all we can, I hope your day is brighter than the

weekend, Sending biggest hugs, Melt

talk on the phone, don't want anyone getting shocked. Have seen it here

Thanks Melt. If I am unable to work tomorrow, due to pain. Then I am going

to call the Dr in Denver and see if we can make the appt for then. My mom

will drive me there. I will let you know what happens. The vicoden doesn't

really help all that much, but it does help a little. Kelley in Colorado

[Guest guest]

Kelley, I know it's a long ride but I'm glad you are going because we could

use all the help in research. Am glad he told you to take the Vicodin as

needed because quite frankly I don't even have any relief with one and my

years are many. Good to hear you are progressing along and I sincerely hope

the upped medications help you feel even better. Till soon dear friend,

its hard when your in pain anything like you said the drive wore you out i

can understand that completly.Was commenting this morn how the worst test i had

in hospital was the MRI if you can beleive that i was in the throngs of a majour

fever at time.Hope this test you done can help in sum way sounds interesting

take care,i found that article last nite i wish i coulda posted it for you then

but it was late. d.Canada

Update

Well, we went to Denver today. The drive just about did me in. 1 1/2 there

and back and it was a pretty high pain day today again. I guess this study

is part of a DNA study with protein in the blood. There is pretty much a 1

to 2 chance that you either have it or don't. With this protein, they are

looking for the fevers, joint pain, rash. They have never tested a patient

that has been Diagnosed with Stills. The dr doing the research is from Univ

of Ca in San Diego, I guess he was here doing a speech at the Univ of Co.

The Dr there that diagnosed me talked to this dr/professor about me and asked

if they had ever tested a stills patient and he said no, but that he would

like to test me. So I filled out all the paperwork and we did the blood and

it is being Fed ex'd today to San Diego. He said that we probably won't hear

anything for 2 to 3 months. I kind of hope that they can find something,

that will help us all out.

I wish that I would have been on this morning to have read 's email, so

I could have brought that up with him then. I will let you all know about

this when I hear something back. So I guess now everyone can call me

Research Kelley, lol. Kelley in Colorado

[Guest guest]

Thanks Melt... It is very important.. I do belive in research as that is

really the only way we ever really find anything out about disorders.. My

grandmother pasted away in January and she donated her brain to the study and

research of Alzheimer's, of course was consented before she got Alzheimers..

It is really the only way we can find out about disease's I believe... I

would do it all over again.. I am going to send 's email to the

Dr/professor at univ of Colo and see if he knows about that also instead of

waiting for him to call me back.. So when I hear about either of these

studies I will let everyone know.. Kelley in Colorado

[Guest guest]

Kelley my granddaughter was born almost 2 years ago with a genetic disorder.

My point is she was treated in Denver Children's Hospital and they were

wonderful!! She went through surgeries and testing and she is doing well.

I believe that the answers we seek lay in genetics and I cannot say enough

how much it means to me personally that you have volunteered for this

testing. Thanks is not enough. With much love and hope, Melt

Kelley, just a quick little note here, for my rash when it gets itchy and burny

I find a cold cloth or aI also use a cream called Stop Itch. It is made by

Solarcaine and can be bought in Walmart, well up here in Canada anyways. But

yea! Hope that helps. Best of luck hun and everyone have an awesome weekend!

Update

Hi again.. Well here's a new update.. With my working on Tuesday and

Wednesday,I think I over did it.. I had a lot of pain and swelling on

Thursday, called

the dr and they called me back today, as he was out of the office.. I don't

get to get off the prednisone (.. I have to stay on the 5mgs until I see him

again next month on the 17th.. I was so looking forward to tomorrow being my

last day on it.. I wasn't able to go into work yesterday or today, they told

me

to be patient as the MTX takes time to work.. I have been on the increased

dosage I think 2 weeks today.. We will see if I need to increase again next

time

I go.. My rash has really flared up on my back the last two days and is

driving my insane.. it is itching and burning like crazy...... any suggestions

on

how to make it stop would greatly be appreciated.. it is on my chest also, but

it is not bothering me there... thanks in advance.. :-) Kelley in Colorado

[Guest guest]

Dear Kelley, I am sorry to hear you have to wait a bit to be off the

Prednisone but it is probably for the best right now with your going back to

work and all. I think there will be the day you get to stop it, so although

very very hard, just hang in there. I hope the weekend off helps you feel

better dear. Warm thoughts and a big smile, Melt

Hey girl,

Glad to see you posting! Missed Ya! Anyway, about the son thing. You

sound like me before I stopped working due to the fibro. I was trying and

trying to do it all. Working over time while sick, trying to take kids to ball

games, band practice and all the many things they did. I was frequently having

to leave and find a ride home for the kids if they weren't through. When I had

to quit after the car wreck, things went from bad to worse as I had to miss

stuff. It took a long time to figure out I wasn't super Mom...LOL. I learned I

had to rest and plan for stuff. If I had a lot to do at night I rested during

the day. If it was a day thing, I might have to take it easy the day before.

All this to say....Take it easy, let your family help, explain to the kid, he's

a smart one and will understand more than you think. Maybe tell him you can

do more with him if he helps you more in the house. You will get better, and

things will improve. If you need someone to talk to....e-mail me.

Hi Tonnie

It isso good to hear from you. Thank you for the phone call.

I am so glad that your breathing is better, that is a relief.

I know you have been thru hell this year, and I am still praying for

you and your family. I know that you will get thru this, I just

hope it is soon. Take good care my friend.

Are you going to Martas pool party?

love you,

Sharon in Onyx
