HI Elaine,

Well its a good thing the doc understood about the flare thing or we would

have had to come and use 's pointy boots on him. lol

I sure hope you do get some rest! You work to hard under stressful

conditions, and that's bad for RP. So lay back, put on some soft music, get a

good book. breathe in and out deeply, to help you relax. Maybe open a bottle

of wine. need I say more? just relax and give all of your worries to God, and

you forget about them for the day.

Take care,

LOve

Hi Lu,

Well my doc had no problem with me not having a flare, but I need to slow

down. I only have two weeks left of work. I talked to my doc about sick

benefits and he said just find out what I need. I said I need a big rest

after all this. I thought I'd get right out there and try to find work, but

I think I want to find my health first.

Today the doc put me on methotrexate. I go back next week and then maybe

start lowering the pred. Looking forward to some time off. I can hardly

wait. Thanks I will relax. Take care,

Elaine

well you take care and I am glad you are going to tell him NO! You hang in

there, take some deep breaths and try to relax when you can. Please let us

know how things go at the doc today.

love

NO Elaine, That boredom will come the 2nd or 3rd week. lol I think its great

you areleaving the stressful job. You don need that and I'm sure something

will come along and take up most of your time.

I'm sure wouldn't mind to send you her pointed boots to kick some ---.

We all need a pair. lol

You take care, and enjoy your life, enjoy the freedom, and live it one day at

a time.

Take care,

Love you

Hi All,

Glad to hear the Doc understood it's a major factor! Can I borrow

with her pointy boots to go to my next appointment with my Rheumy? If I go.

LOL

Hi Elaine,

Kathleen here. I've been on methotrexate since March without any pred. The

achiness and fatigue are side effects of the drug. However, the longer you are

on it, your body will adjust to this and like , she knows when she is

nearing her treatment dates because she feels " icky. " I started on a small dose

4 2.5 mgs tables and am down to 2 per week now and walking 5 miles 4-5 times a

week. I will post a really good article for you to read with great detail on

the drug. Be well and do relax ... enjoy your days off to come.

Hi Lu,

Sure would like to borrow 's pointy boots to use on a few other people.

(Like my ex and the Board of Directors!) Actually Not the Board because I'm

really looking forward to not working. My job is done at the end of the

month (been laid off) and then it's hammock time! I'm glad we get good

weather in September here. Never thought I'd be happy to leave an

organization that I've worked with for nine years, but it has been a

stressful job. I can get up to 15 weeks sick benefits and I hope I get them

all. The first week I'll probably be bored out of my tree but I think I can

get use to it. Hope you're relaxing too. Take care and be well,

Elaine

Hi Miriyam,

I'm glad too. Was put on methotrexate so I guess they finally understand

that it's not just going to go away. Had my first dose yesterday, so far no

side effects, but all my muscles in my arms and legs feel sore. Kind of like

I've had a big work out, which of course I haven't. Does any one know if

this is a side effect or just coincidence? Maybe 's pointy boots got

the wrong person. Take care

Elaine

Hi Lu,

Sounds like a plan to me! Can't wait and if I get bored, hey, I'll take a

nap.

Take care,

Elaine
