Hi Keli,
Yep, I am around. Just have so much going on it is hard to do much other than the daily things that have to be done. Rick got home Thanksgiving Day. Thank the Lord. He will be leaving again next Monday for
Hey you! Its good to hear from you...and good to hear you're doing well with your BP...the other RA/Fibro crap I can so relate to...NO! The GP did NOT give me anything else, but thankfully the huge flare eased a bit...I still hurt every day, but its not anything like it used to be...I am very thankful for that...I still haven't gotten a Rheumy appt either...ARGH! Am fighting with them on that too...I'll have a day or two here and there of a lot of pain, but its not the extreme constant pain I was in the first 3 weeks...my knuckles are still huge and my hands and wrists and ankles are the worst...I'm going to start exercising a little...I'm so tired of not doing anything...I will just do a little here and there...I just don't see how doing NOTHING is helping. I know not to overdo...
My moods are pretty darn stable too, thanks to Lamictal...am a bit more UP today, but I've been out of Lamictal for a few days...I'll get it refilled tomorrow. I really like Lamictal a lot. I was supposed to see pdoc today, but I have all my meds, and I don't need an adjustment, so I cancelled. Its easy to get in with her, if I need it later. But I'm like you, I've not wanted to brag about it, because I don't want to jinx it...
The holidays...ugh! I wish wish wish wish wish I could have a quiet alone Christmas too. But it won't work in my family. At the very least, I have to go to GA to my parents early morning...then probably to DHs family in the afternoon...we don't see them often, usually only at Christmas, and its too bad because they live near us...but DH is a real home body...
Keep in touch when you can, and have FUN in Disney! You'll just be a few hours from me...
Love you
Keli
Hiya Keli,
I am still so pissed off that your damn PCP has not gotten you a appointment with a rheumy yet!!! I mean the least he can do is try to make you comfortable until you get in. I have been decreasing my dosage of Prednisone this past couple of weeks, and boy can I feel the difference. It really does help,and I am surprised that your request for it was denied. I have been on 10 mgs of it for almost 3 years straight. (Which is kind of uncommon for treatment of RA) It is usually used for brief periods of time to help bridge the gap until meds kick in. If your dummy doctor is worried about med interactions there is no need. In my experience I have had no interactions with my RA meds and my BP meds. I was on Pred when I was taking Lithium, Depakote,Lamictal for my moods. I was also on it when I was taking AD's. Any doc who has an assistant or a brain
Hey Cyn!!!
I'm on the phone with the GP's office again this morning...again, I'm leaving another message for the nurses to call me back...how frustrating. Luckily my pain level is at a manageable level right now, with only a few bad flares a week. They don't last more than a day or two and its when I get really tired out mostly that they flare up. I always have at least low level pain in all my joints though.
Christmas...I ordered my son's cell phone yesterday...he wanted the whole camera, video, MP3 dealy so I got it...but that's his only present! It cost enough though...My ds is very spoiled...I was going to kill him last night...he found out the phone was a "slider" and not a "flip" and went off...I really almost lost it on him in Walmart. He is sooooo going to learn a hard lesson very soon...He is sooooooo unappreciative of what he does have (and he has a lot, though to ask him, he has nothing) the brat. I wish he was little again. Teenage years aren't any fun at all. Now I know what I put my mother through.
Speech therapy will probably be very good for Laura. A friend of mine's son went and it helped a great deal. How is she doing otherwise? I love that she has a 2 page wish list! Jackie sounds much more realistic! I wish my ds was, but he is almost 15!
Love you,
Keli
Hi Keli,
I am sorry that your DS is being a pain. I already know which one of my 2 will become the "but I don't have anything" kid.
