- This may seem strange, but I love my neurologist. I see him every few months because he is the one monitoring my cellcept and prednisone. What I love is that I can have as much contact with him as needed without going into the office and paying a...
- Recently four of my granddaughters who are between the ages of 2yrs-11yrs have been coming over and spending the night with me. It is a joy to me and we have "slumber parties", but afterwards I am exhausted. I wouldn't given up these slumber...
- Hello friends. I have been busy the past few days. I decided to go on an adventure. I love public transportation or I should say I love good public transportation. When I lived in the Orlando area and gas prices were sky high like now, I would...
- Before being ill, I would zip back and forth between Fort Lauderdale and Tampa to pick up my granddaughter and then when I moved to Orlando I would drive over to Tampa the same way. A couple of days I drove from Orlando to Tampa to work and decided...
- Since moving to a first floor apartment I have been sleeping a lot better. Of course the people over my head aren't helping, but they don't stop my sleep either. I am finding that by 10pm at night I am ready to call it a night. Some nights I do...
- Now that I can walk better and have been told by my Rheumy that I am in remission, even with my continued pain, I had started to plan a couple of short vacations. Believe me I truly need them. I wanted to fly out to Phoenix for a couple of day and...
- Has anyone had a paraffin wax treatment on your feet? My feet are so dry and no amount of lotion of cream helps. I was reading in today's paper about a nail salon near me that has the paraffin wax treatment for feet and I want to get it done. I...
- As a non-exercising person (I never liked exercising prior to my illness and still don't), I never considered that our interior organs are muscles. Now everything from thinking with my muscle brain and even passing body waste involves muscles that...
- I have moved into my new apartment which is on the first floor, so I can now get out more often. I can take out the trash and check the mail everyday. These tasks seem so simple to some people, but when a person is in pain 24/7 like I am and who...
- I hope that everyone is doing better each day. I have been to so many doctors these past two weeks for followups that I don't want to see another doctor for months. I saw my neurologist who again lowered my Prednisone, which is a good and a bad...
- I have felt so blessed the past few days. I applied for a new apartment not far from where I currently live. I wanted to stay in the same area. I prayed on it and refused to believe that I wouldn't get it even though my income is lousy and my...
- I have been trying for days to logon and could not remember my password and when I requested a new one, I never received it, so I decided to try it again today and the system finally sent me one. I seem to be getting worst as I taper down my...
- Okay the endocscopy went well. I love the medication that they use to put me to sleep. My swollen stomach is not due to any other problems. According to the Gastroenterologist it is related to the wonder drug that we all know as Prednisone. I am...
- I am having an Endo with EUS tomorrow afternoon. My CT Scan showed an enlarged pancreas so the Gastroenterologist ordered the endo. I am hoping this is the last procedure that I have to have for a while. My poor little veins can't handle many...
- Hello my friends. I seem to have disappeared lately. No, I have just been having a little too much pain lately. I had a caudal done last Tuesday and will be having another one done tomorrow morning. The first helped my back a little, when I sit...
