Got e mail from my rheumy to come in tomorrow to discuss getting back into study. Yay, yay, yay. My allergist said the pulmonary doctor thought at did the bronch biopsy thinks it is RA or drug related. At this point I don't care, just want to be back on meds. 6 weeks with nothing has really taken a toll on me, I am damn near my starting point with pain, exhaustion, and just general crappy feeling. Thank you all for your thoughts and lending a much needed place to vent. Thank you. Love you all. Trish

I am so happy for you. Sorry you had to go so long without the meds. Hope the meds kick in fast and help give you relief from the pain, fatigue, etc.

Oh Trish, so sorry to hear you have been having a tough way to go. So glad to know you can get started with the study. To go with anything for six weeks can be grueling, I know been there done that. Had to live on pain meds and work my way through it. Was mostly bed bound. Hope you are feeling better soon!!
