Guest guest Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Hi All, Well, it has been way too long since I have posted. I can tell that it seems that way too many people are suffering and there are also a lot of new people being diagnosed. For that I am very sad. In regards to me, I am staying upbeat in my fight, although, I must say I am getting fatigued and tired very often. I am getting close to my next dose of Actemra, which seems to help my energy, but I do notice that about 8-10 days before I am due for my next does my severe fatigue sets back in. I am thankful that it does give me some energy. My last sed rate before actemra was 70. Yikes, here we go again. if it's not one thing - it's another. I had x-rays of my back done and found out that I have many bone spurs (some pressing on the nerves) and also have spondylosis now (which I did not have two years ago. So I guess that explains why it is hard to sit up in hard chairs for more than 15 minutes. My left foot has not healed from it's fracture from over a year ago - so next week I get to see a new foot specialist and see if he can come up with what is going on with it.. It is always swollen and has bruising on it all the time. I am glad that it is summer though. I am enjoying the pool and trying to stay out of the resort J I hope you all are enjoying summer - either in air conditioning or a pool as it seems it is the only place to survive the weather! Hang in there! Alli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Well Alli, it does sound as if Sir Still's is staying with you..like has moved in baggage and all...sorry to hear about your troubles and the foot fracture...that is a bear! But, like you said, happy for your up-beat attitude and staying out of the Resort! Also, like you, were it not for the pool and air-vonditioning, i would not survive the summer! Humidity and Brother Still's like to party together! So far, they haven't had any pool parties! LOL! I hope and pray you get some answers and relief for your foot fracture... You keep hangin in there and may God continue to bless you and your family! Many Blessings! Larry B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
