So, what's going on? The disease is making a comeback?

I won't allow it! I'll kill that $%*%^ dragon before I go through

another " heated round. " Kill it with MTX, Enbrel, Kineret,

whatever it takes...Dragon, get ready for a fight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Melt, you too are feeling like you are having some problems

where the disease is maybe making some sort of a comeback??

Have you ever been diagnosed with CostoChondritis?? This

is what I was diagnosed with when I get the chest pains, and

it hurts in the bones, and the heart get a sharp pain from time

to time, etc. The only thing that relieves it is extra steroids. The

pain gets so bad. It mimics a heart attack, so if I ever have a

heart attack, I won't believe that's what it is. It comes on for me

with getting overtired and/or overstressed.

2, so sorry to hear you aren't doing so great either!

I am praying you will feel better real soon. Like tomorrow.

Love & hugs to all of you,

Your friend, tricia

p.s. It's finally snowing here. I have to admit, it is beautiful.

Hi It's Dave,

I live in South Florida. So we don't get that horrible snow and winter!!! We

do get a cold snaps and it can drop down to the high 30's at night. and the

70's -80's in the day time but,, not always. It's usually beautiful. I've

lived in south fla. for 9 yrs now going on ten soon. I'm originately from and

born In Massachusetts. So I know how bad it can get in the north eastern part

of the country. and New England!!! I was accepted to a college up in Boston

and right now I'm sopposed to be their now. But I can't due too my AOSD. So

I know how cold it can get . Hopfully I will be able to get to college next

fall. The admissions at the college changed my acceptence too next fall. I

was also just switched to Enbrel from kineret that kineret didn't help me at

all. They cahnged my pain meds again and put me on Oxycontin. twice daily

THANK GOD!!! well I hope everybody is doing some what ok and PAIN FREE!

Take care

thank you sweetie, and I will let you and everyone know what this injection

-- Re: acid reflux, left side pain/muscle injections

Dear Sue,

I get the " acid reflux " problem very severely after I have

a bit too much (and I don't think it's much..but my body

must!) chocolate, and/or sugar. Even the decaf coffee

bothers if I have more than a couple of cups. It was

much worse when I was on high doses of Medrol.

Then I had to take Tagamet to protect the stomach.

(my body rebelled against that after a couple of years)

About that shot he's talking of giving you...find out

what it is called would you?? I don't need one, but

am interested in just what it is he's talking about.

I wouldn't think it would be cortisone, that usually

stays in a small area around where it is given.

Your friend,

Hey thank you for the post Tricia..Yes I have been told I have fibromyalgia

too....great....one rheumy thinks that I might have NASH...non alcoholic

steatohepatitis...( sp?? )...supposedly you can only tell by biopsy which soo

many gastroenterologists wince about cause the test is dangerous...soo this

one guy said that I should have this nuclear medicine scan..it will show the

functioning of my liver without the biopsy..well here's the good news..it

was normal!! I was so anxious about this test. Friday I am having female

surgery will not go into detail as it will " skeeve " even the women...just

another thing to be nervous about...its a cyst and they need to remove

it..they thinkit is causing my b;ladder pain...anyone with fibromyalgia and

bladder pain...my bladder..she is messed up..takes only half of what is

normal and then leaves half in..can't get it out...what a mess one can

be....this week certainly is bothering me...Hope everyone gets a good nights

rest....Liz NJ

[Guest guest]

Liz, I have fibromyalgia and NASH. They did do a biopsy for the NASH. The

biopsy was NO BIG DEAL. Nevertheless, I'm glad you found out that you don't

have it! I'm going in for a BIG surgery myself (a panniculectomy - a more

extensive abdominoplasty that will go almost completely around my midsection) on

May 22nd. This seems to be surgery month!!! We'll all have to get through it

together. Don't worry. Love is around you!

[Guest guest]

Oh Liz,

So sorry to hear about your surgery on Friday.

Doesn't it seem if it's not one thing out to get us

it's another? Just get something squared away,

and then...oops..another problem. Praying for your

surgery to be over with fast, everything to go really

well, and that you recover very quickly!

Many in this group also have the bonus of Fibromyalgia.

Sometimes I wonder why?

I never heard of NASH, and I hope I never do hear that

come from my doctor's lips. I spent so many years getting

books from the library and doing research, but I was only

trying to find out why I had fevers, etc. etc. I did *not*

receive a correct diagnosis from the onset (1971) until

1987. (with two nice remissions in between) What ever

a person has it's a bit easier to deal with if you know

what it is. Anyhow it was for me.

You hang in there now Liz, and as soon as possible please let

us know how you are feeling after that surgery. Remember

you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

(((((((((((((((Liz)))))))))))))))))))))

Hi Liz, hope all goes well, no I know all will go well with your surgery on

Friday! I too suffer from Fribromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis (among other

things) and as suffer from cysts in my ovaries and uterus. Doc's not too

bothered with them as they aren't bothering me but they just jump out at the

technicians who do kidney (and area) ultrasounds as I suffer from kidney

stones too. I know you explained what NASH stood for but what does it

actually mean?

Take care,

Marilyn

Hey Tricia,

I am in Chippewa Falls, about 20 minutes north of Eau . I have been to

s Point before and went to youth conservation camp with a girl from

Waupaca. Love the Waupaca cheese spread.

The trip really did tire me out. I am going to wear my knee braces on the

return trip tomorrow and try and stop at a rest area and walk around a bit and

see if that makes a difference.

Luv ya

[Guest guest]

Lynn hon,

Stopping often is the way (the only way) I get through long

car trips. When we go to The Mayo Clinic, we stop at least

3 times on the way there, and the same for on the way back.

Even if it's just a 10 minute stop to stretch it will make a world

of difference.

Wisconsin is the "cheesehead" state. There's a little dairy in

a small town Southeast of us that makes the most addictive

"hot pepper" cheese.

Have a safe trip!

Hugs, tricia

again i need to say i'm sorry for not answering mail sent on my behalf

Caroline,i meant to ask about the get together at Carmen's,she is in

Michigan and so am i,and we had talked a little about Tricia and a few

others getting together who were in driving distance of Carmen.I am in such

pain, I think every joint on my right side from my ankles to my fingers is

non-stop hurting.Why do I bother to take so many meds and still hurt so much

Today I am being a whiner and I'm sorry.I'm sure tomorrow will be a better

day!Thanks for listening. Love Elly ..

[Guest guest]

Tricia,

thanks dear friend, as always. I am still hoping that Enbrel pulls through.

We will see. I will have a better outlook on things by Wednesday hopefully

I am truly frustrated and just tired of the whole thing. I was in such a

horrible mood today. Just not well, over tired and stressed...wanting to

throw in the towel mood I guess...wanting to just give up, but anyway..I

truly love you, you know that..and thank you.

-- Remicade questions

I know that some of you are on Remicade and that we have talked about it

several times, but now that I am possibly facing it, can we update more

about it, and the ones on it, can you tell me any side effects that you have

had, or the side effects that it holds. He tells me that it will be every

six weeks for the injection which is fine with me. I am anxious to know

more about it now, now that I am possibly facing this. Thanks as always.

thank you as always friend. You know how much I have been whining about

this for so long. I am very excited. I love you dearly friend..very much.

-- Re: IT CAME THROUGH!!!! YIPEE....YIPEE

sue this is such great news, I pray that this will work well for you, I

had to start the enbrel back this week, guess I spoke too soon when I

announced that I hadn't taken enbrel in 4 months :-) but Im not suprised,

this always happens, I can usually go about 4 months without meds but then

about the 4th month I start having more pains and then morning stiffness and

my elbows lock up, it alwasy starts in my wrists and elbows. And from past

experience I know that it doesnt take long to become a full blown flare so I

started it right back, Im still having morning stiffness but not too bad,

I think after another week or two of enbrel and I will be back to normal for

me.. When I first got married 6 yrs ago, I had been off the mtx for

about 4 months and I started this same pattern, well I was stubborn and

still didnt take the meds and ended up in a bad flare like my onset, my

husband had to carry me upstairs at night and it just broke his heart

becasue he had never really seen what the disease could do, so after that I

promised to never let that happen again, not to mention all the damage that

I was doing to my joints, like an idiot. that was before I got smart.

Take care Sue and again Im so happy for you.

GO DAWGS !!!!!

[Guest guest]

Tricia, Thanks so much for the hug. Been crying on and off all morning so

that really helped. Don't know what I would do without you guys. As long

as I stay totally off the foot it is okay. Once I walk on it, ouch! The

pain shoots right down across the heel of my foot. Oh well, I guess I will

attribute it to the dragon. I think it is a good time for a nap, getting

kind of warm here today. How is it over there?

-- Re: Hey all, Urgent care waste of time

Hi Lynn First of all I think you need a big hug

(((((((((((((((((Lynn)))))))))))))))) There...now, I don't blame you one bit

for feeling like whining, and you don't need to be sorry for doing it either

That's two days ago when you went for the walk. You didn't twist your foot,

or anything? Pain is pain, and darn it hurts! Didn't they tell you at

urgent care " to like put heat on it or something? I too have had, and still

get pain for no apparent reason. The doc at the " pain clinic " told me the

pain I was experiencing in my hands, and feet was caused from the disease.

Sometimes I used to get pain like you are talking about in my left ankle. I

found out that by slowly and carefully massaging the foot and ankle, and

then turning it very gently (if this causes too much pain..stop.) the pain

would go away for awhile. Finally, that ankle doesn't pain anymore. Now it's

the right one! From time to time. Hopfefully the pain will just " go away "

very soon. Love you hon, ~~tricia~~ " one state over from you, in WIsconsin "

Tricia,

I didn't know that they used you for a test lab rat with all those bone

marrow tests. I was shocked and riddled with the thought of pain, bringing

back horrible memories with my bone marrow test. God friend, I cannot

believe that they did that to you. I think the bone marrow was the

hardest thing that I ever had to do, besides the kidney failure with the

stones. Those two pains are the worse I feel. You went through so much

Tricia. I don't blame you one bit about the liver biopsy. What a shame.

-- Re: Oncologist Today

Hi Dennis,

When I spent 10 weeks in the Wisconsin University Hospital in Wisconsin,

(a teaching hospital) they managed to do a " bone marrow " test on me every

week! They either did them in the chest area or the back. The one that I

will

never forget...is the one where this one student took his first try..and it

was

in my back. (I did not stick up for myself back then, but , I did learn that

they could *not* do anymore than I allowed them to...and when I asserted

that knowledge...they sent me home! Jerks!! ) Anyhow, he poked around

in my back for what seemed like forever, but was in reality about 1/2 hour.

Finally the already licensed doctor watching took over, and did the job in

a short time. They had several students standing around observing, and

I now know " learning how to torture other humans. " I have not allowed a

bone marrow test since that hospital stay. In fact when they suggested

they should do a " liver biopsy, " I told them... " let my liver rot, " no one is

doing a biopsy of any kind. ..you people are *mean! " They sent me home

the following day even though I was still running the undiagnosed fevers

etc.

I do know however that many times these tests are very necessary and

the doctors are professions who do them.

Hoping the MTX helps you to feel better. You might

need another med or two to find the correct " cocktail " for you though. Take

care Dennis!

Hi Tricia,

For some reason, I have not received any of your posts to the group. None !!

I have to scroll down when someone answers a question from you. Why do you think that is? I can receive your personal ones but not those to the group.
