Update-Got some good news today

[Guest guest]

This doesn't exactly apply to this list totally but since I have shared with you

guys my struggles with doctors and getting proper medications, especially while

pregnant, I thought I would share my good news today. This last weekend was

awful for me with my arthritis and fibromyalgia flaring up terribly. I have

been handling this ok all during the pregnancy, but in the last few weeks it has

been getting really bad and hit my ankles over the weekend making it difficult

to walk. Since it has been getting worse not only has it been making me suffer

more in pain and whats worse is it makes sleep difficult and when I don't sleep

well then it flares up my fibromyalgia. I have a pretty high pain tolerance and

I have pain medication that I have been taking, authorized by my OB and my

perinatologist, but it didn't help at all, and I'm on very strong pain meds. I

have been on a quest to get prescribed Enbrel even before I got pregnant but

with all the moving around we have had to do with my husband being in the Army I

couldn't get a doctor to prescribe it. Well, today, after being on this quest

since August 2002 I have finally gotten a rheumatologist to prescribe it to me.

I feel like I did when I found out that I finally got approved for WLS, and

believe it or not it only took me 8 months to get that approved. I am hoping to

pick up the prescription by tomorrow, or at least by Wednesday, many people have

experience some relief after the first dose. I am asking everyone to pray for

me that that is the case for me so I can cut down on my other meds and maybe

feel " normal " for the first time in years. I have always dreamed that I would

lose weight and be able to move to garden, play sports, and most of all play

with my children. After all these years of dreaming it looks like (I'm scared

to say it) I may be able to actually DO all the things I have always dreamed

about!
