Hi everyone

Sorry I haven't posted much lately. I guess I have been one of the lurkers lol

First off I want to welcome all the new people. You have found a great new family and home.

I went to the Dr's in Denver for follow up. It seems that alot of my labs are dropping now with the Humira. Overall feeling okay. We are going to try the taper of the Prednisone. Once I am off of that and if I do okay we will talk about tapering off the MTX. Kinda excited and scared at the same time LOL.

I haven't started the taper yet figured I would wait until this weekend to start. He did say that if I start to flare then I need to increase the pred back up. I am really hoping I do not going into a flare. I am leaving on the 18th for two weeks to go to Canada, so I am scared about starting the taper now, but I will try it.

I have noticed (when I dont get sick lol ) that the dampness and cold is bothering me. Who is the guilty one sending me all the rain? Please step forward lol I cant take the pain every day please. I know we are in a drought, but a week of nice dry weather would be nice. Carmen that is my special request LOL.

I do hope everyone is doing good. Sorry I haven't been around much, but I do think of you all daily. If anyone in Canada is interested in meeting, I will be going to Pitt MEadows, which I believe is an hour outside of Vancover. I would love to try to get together with you guys. They bought my tickets, or else I wouldn't be going lol. I would still like to get to the Vegas one, but will have to see how I feel when I get back. I was lucky to get the flights straight from Denver to Vancover so it is only about a 2 1/2 hr flight.

I do love you all and will try to do better on responding.

Love and Hugs to all ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((GROUP HUG)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Hi Kelley,

No...No....No....it's not me sending the rain your way. You know it has to be Tricia and Randal. Plus, look for Dan in the sky in one of those rain maker planes. .......

I hope all your decreasing goes well. It is scary. I'm trying to drop a pill of MTX every month so we'll see how it goes.

No Carmen, you have been sending the rain this way instead....right??? I never had to cut my grass so much in my life, and I have not had to add any water to the pool at all this year due to the rain. My favorite fishing spot, the Susquehanna has been high all year save for one week. Couple that with the increase in stiffness the cool and the rain bring, I am ready to assassinate the rain God's!!! I think I should move to Arizona...I like droughts!!!

Have a good one, Kirk...and keep the rain on your side of the fence!!!

Hi Pyretta,

You are an amazing and wonderful woman. I'll bet they are proud of you

at The Avenue! (aren't they nice?) It is mind boggling that all this is

happening to you PRE-BANDING ! I am learning from my own experience: it

is never too late to start your life over!!

Best wishes,

American Sue

Re: Hi Everyone

Yes Michele,

I'm lurking just about everywhere these days. But seriously if you do

have any questions I'm be happy to help as best I can.

Psst. I haven't posted this on Ozband yet (I haven't had time), but I

just wanted to tell someone. I am offically no longer diabetic and

unoffically, I went to the Avenue down here in Melbourne today and

weigh 166.2kg.... A whole 30kg down from my starting weight. I'll have

to wait another 2 weeks to be weighed " offically " .

I just had to share this with all of you.
