was able to see the rhumy! Mood
Sunday, March 15, 2009

was able to have rhumy sqeeze me in on friday and explained to him my whole situation with having the baby early due to HELLP syndrome... so... he asked are you planning on having anymore children and i said no at least not maybe in like 5 years and i said I know we need to start a rigurous treatment so lets do it!

 

He checked the notes from my drs on the liver enzymes but those were back in february so he had me do some more blood work that saturday and depending on those results he said he will be starting me on methotraxate.... a little scared on starting that but I hear its stll the "gold standard" for rhumetoid arthitis... so we will see... he was wanting to start me on humira but was hesitant.. so he opted for the methotraxate instead...

 

so waiting on the results and already have a script in hand if its a go...just scared thats all...

 

thanks for letting me share
