Day 44

I had a flare-up about 10 days ago.  I drained it myself and it's been improving since then.  It seems that the flare-up was faster and had less pain and it came to a head faster than normal.  I was dissappointed that I had the flare-up but I'm encouraged that it resolved as quickly as it did.  I'm still hoping for a more permanent remission now that I'm on regular weekly injections.  My general mood is good and depression is minor.  I get swelling in my feet and legs and I think the humira is contributing to that.  Otherwise, I'm cautiously optimistic.......
