Re: Enbrel for long term disease

Hi Ann

Gee, I never thought about that menopause thing, but since my perimenopause

days I started to have trouble.

I have had P since I was a teenager, and my legs and arms were covered, as

well as my scalp. After my early 20's it cleared up except for my elbows and an

occasional spot on my leg. I have nail involvement on my fingers for the past

30 years.

When I reached my late 40's to 50's is when I started to experience problems.

Started with ankle and achilles tendonitis. Now it just jumps wherever and

whenever it wants.

But I have to say YIPPEE, yesterday and today have been really good days.

Hope it stays this way. Although, I see my rheumatologist on Thursday and

she won't get to see it at its' worst. Fortunately, she believes me when I tell

her what has been going on.

Forgive me for ranting on.

Have a great day everyone. Wish I could transmit my good feelings through

the Internet to each and every one of you.

Will tell all what the doctor says on Thursday.

Hi Anne,

Welcome to the group. Good to hear from you although I'm sorry that

circumstances bring you here. I'm afraid I am not called Anne, except at the

weekends. lol.

I think we will need to start giving you all numbers at the ends of your

names although admittedly it is unlikely that we will have two people whose

surname is.......and the Pugheard. lol.

Take care all you Anne's and Annie's,

Hi Barb,

Good to hear that you have had a couple of good days. Hope it keeps up. Good

luck with your Rheumy on Thursday.

Hi :

Thanks for the good wishes. I wish you well with the Enbrel. Will be

praying that it works.

I am starting back up this morning to hurt. Could be stress related since I

am so far behind for Christmas. So I am telling myself, " If it's not done, Oh

well " and think only about the true meaning of Christmas.

Take Care

Hey Barb,

If it helps at all, I've got 3 kids and a huge extended

family.....my Christmas shopping doesn't start until tomorrow. I

haven't even done my cards yet. (I just didn't want to have to use

credit .....too much debt as it is). So........know that you're not

alone. It all gets done somehow...what doesn't........everyone will

survive. Like you, I'm trying to focus on the true meaning...all

the while practicing lots of deep breathing.

Peace,
