Guest guest Posted December 13, 2000 Report Share Posted December 13, 2000 Hi all, I'm back. Didn't plan to be away so long but you know how it goes. Well I say my rheumy and I'm off the metho. He wants to keep me off it and just on pred for now. He figures I will flare and when I do I'm to up the pred to 20mg and then call my PCP. (rheumy is sending instructions to pcp, hope they make it and don't get lost)LOL My PCP will then start me on Imuran. sounds like a plan for now. I was happy hearing that. Who knows, maybe I won't flare for a while. I had my neurologist appt today at 7:30am. ( That was a hard one to make, it is a half hour drive, what was I thinking when I made that???) Well, I definately don't have carpal tunnel. ( Should have just listened to me)LOL Next thing is an MRI of neck. I also went and picked up my c pap machine today. I will start using it tonigh. Maybe I will sleep for a few days.....zzzzzzzzz! Well I guess that pretty much sums up my news. I missed you all and hope you all have a pain free tomorrow. Glad to be back.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2000 Report Share Posted December 14, 2000 Elaine, So glad to hear that you are doing so well. Must be the snow Heidi sent.LOL Glad that you are doing better on the metho. Hope it just keeps getting better all the time. You are always in my thoughts. Now all we have to do is get the disability to go as well as everything else. Enjoy your snow and have a wonderful day. Hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2000 Report Share Posted December 15, 2000 Hi , Thanks for the thoughts. Yesterday afternoon and last night I felt quite sick again but this morning I feel good. the sun is shining and the snow is glistening, it's sooo beautiful. Sorry to hear your feet are flaring. My fingertips do and I think it is the RP too. They tested for vasculitis and grand- something and it was negative. They never did figure it out. Hope you feel better soon. Take care, Elaine T.
