    Hope u r doing well. Is the plaquinel helping? I can truly feel your pain. I'm sure u r busy w/ your family & illness, but if u get a chance consider writing a journal entry so we can keep up w/ how u r doing. It also does make u feel better after venting & I'm not a big journal writing type of person. Also I am an animal lover so maybe u will consider up loading pics of your cats. My dogs & cat make me smile 2. Hope 2 hear from u soon. Best Wishes. 

    Oops. Hit send 2 soon. Anyway, the prednisone helps me b/c my hands swell & hurt which causes me 2 drop things frequently which is frustrating. The wt gain from
    fluid retention is bad but hopefully the daily prednisone will b stopped when the MTX begins. If I have 2 hear 1 more person makes a comment about my chubby face I think I'll go off. Have you considered writing any updated journal entries? I just like keeping up w/ how my friends here r doing. God Bleds

    Just thought I'd check n & c how things r going. Have u still been able 2 work? Has the plaquinel been helpful? I can't tell much difference since taking the plaquinel & n Nov it'll b 8mo. so they're going 2 change it 2 MTX inj @ that time b/c it will have been an appropriate x trial. The prednisone helps wonders b/c my hands hurt & swell causing me 2 frequently.

    I am doing a little better. I am waiting for a surgery date, Probably about 6-8 weeks. I am nursing a sinus infection so I am hoping my doctor will call in some antibiotics so I dont have to drive there to see her. I get them all the time. How about you? Thanks for thinking of me, how are you feeling?
    Lots of love
    Mary

    Your welcome. Isn't the kitten cute, now I want one. =)Yea not to many people know of the real legit MT companies and many get trained at bogus schools and don't get a job after their training is over. But these schools do get you working.

    I haven't been on the lupus group often. I get confused @ x's on what group 2 go 2 since MCTD is composed of several different disease processes. I saw on your profile the ? about MTX. I haven't yet asked a physician myself but I would b willing 2 guess that they start w/ MTX b/c it's been around & used alot longer. So Drs know how it usually works & what side effects 2 expect. It's least expensive 2 since it's patent has expired. The others cost more (a god knows insurance or not us w/ a chronic illness can break bank rather fast) & have been around 4 fewer yrs 2 know their true side effect potential. Have u started either 1 yet?

    GildedButterfly (08/31/09)

    Happy belated B-day. Hope u had a most festive day. I'm going 2 the rheumy 2morrow. Well, I guess it's actually 2day. I will probably start MTX inj. Wish me luck. God Bless.
