Guest guest Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Tess, I am doing the happy dance for you!!!! That is so awsome!!! I am curious as to your start weight and goal weight. I am thrilled about the 40 lbs so far I have lost. I am even more thrilled that I have NO hanging skin. I hope this continues!! Sounds like you will definately reach your goal and then some. What about your pain levels? Did you get any sort of remission? I am still shocked that I have gone this long with no RA meds and very little if any pain or swelling. Its amazing...I wake every day hoping this is not the end and that this goes on forever!!! Wouldn't it be a blessing if you went into remission and stayed there?

Subject: You sweet people ~ Re: Humira/Mtx question Thank you all for your responses. I am going to call my rheumy' s MA tomorrow and ask her to run this by him. I am down 121 pounds in 8 1/2 months! The 'window of opportunity' for significant weight loss with the surgery I had is 18 - 24 months. I am confident I'll reach my goal, or lower. I'm off of ALL diabetes meds, high blood pressure meds, edema meds and anxiety meds. 9 months ago I needed to use a scooter-cart (whether I was in a RA flare or not) to buy just a small amount of groceries and I had to have help to tote them into my house. Today I did my monthly shopping (all my staples) at a 'warehouse' grocery store, walked & walked - no scooter-cart, bagged up my groceries, loaded them into the car, toted them into my home and put them away. What an awesome feeling it is to do these ordinary tasks! I am just so happy about the increase of mobility and freedom. Love & hugs to all...

Thank you for sharing! I work with many people who are looking for more inner peace and your poem might be helpful. Would it be ok with you if I shared it, with your name as the author (assuming you wrote it, of course!). If so, what is your last name? Thank you for sharing!
