Guest guest Posted April 30, 2002 Report Share Posted April 30, 2002 Cheri, We live in Crestview FL which is on the panhandle. They call it LA here (lower Alabama). We are only a hop away from the Alabama/Florida boarder. In fact my sons high school plays teams from Alabama all the time. I was just wondering what part of the state you were in. We go to Mobile during football season. > > > Howdy gang! > > > Just a hello from Alabama...I hope everyone is doing well!! > Drop > > me > > > a line if you get a chance...I will be here...ha ha > > > Cheri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2002 Report Share Posted May 9, 2002 Thanks, Lynn and everyone else. I'm feeling much better today, although I can certainly tell it's Methotrexate day. I'm always feeling weak and sore from about Tues. - Thurs. Hope you're all having a relatively pain-free day (if that's possible). LOL.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2002 Report Share Posted May 9, 2002 Hi, Annette. Yes, that's so true. It is so disappointing for me also, because I think that my kids deserve a much better mother. Maybe better's not the right word, but active and energetic. I'm just not able to be that kind of a mom and it's frustrating to see " normal " moms doing the things with their kids that I would like to be doing with mine. Luckily, my kids are young enough (6 & almost 4) that they still think that mom hangs the moon. I'm not looking forward to the day they realize how lame I really am. LOL.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2002 Report Share Posted May 10, 2002 Hi, Lynn. No, I take 6 pills/week, every Thurs. I just find, personally, my body starts getting very sore and my muscles start burning quite bad as it's nearing the end of the week. I think it's because the last week's dose is wearing off, that's just my opinion though. Dawn Lynn wrote: > Do you take Methx by injection, Dawn?
