Kimberley, you are having such a tough time with one thing after another. Sometimes, it just seems to happen and you start wondering if you'll ever come through it but you will. Hang onto that hope.

thoughts and hugs. you are our eclectic RA-er who has swords out all over to battle a 1/2 dozen different foes.

thinking of you.

i am OFF the orencia also now, one week with 8 more to go from this coming Monday per neurosurgeon + rheumatologist in collusion. so we can be off together and drive this group colletively mad together.

the root canal? wow. that was just to make sure you did not forget about your teeth in this process. madhuri can share in your pain in that one.

don't lose your voice :)

Kimberly so sorry to hear your troubles I had CDIF in august from previous hospital stay and it was horrible ! The gut pain was the worst ever and I was on morphine and hospitalized for 5 days for treatment. Be sure to continue the Flagl treatment while home as CDIF loves a return visit ! lots of rest and water be well soon
