NO, THANK YOU! However, it sounds like you are in a much better

mood and I am so glad. Like I said before, you really helped cheer

me when I was in that depression and I appreciate it a lot.

Sometimes a man's perspective is so nice to hear. I am glad you are

not on antidepressants (just another med), however, if you feel you

need them, do not hesitate to take them. They do help quite a bit

and a lot of us with these diseases do need them I think mostly from

dealing with our families and people who just don't understand the

disease. I find that the most frustrating. You only have to go for

your labs once every three months? My MIL and myself both have to

go monthly for them. I am a little surprised with your MTX dose

that it is not more often. I guess every rheumy does it different.

If you ever start to feel unwell be sure and let them know so they

can check your labs early. Would not want anything to happen to my

favorite RA guy. (Sorry Ken, you cannot have us all, LOL).

Hugs and prayers,

Tracie in Maine
