Guest guest Posted March 8, 2002 Report Share Posted March 8, 2002 Hi Becky, I am so happy to hear that your prednisone may be extinct soon! Keep it up! Even if it takes longer than the 16th. Keep going! I have been on mine for 20 years now. Don't be another me! How is your Remicade going? Did you get the TB test? I had mine on February 19 and it was read on February 22nd. It turned out how I expected, no TB. My doc is out of the country until Monday the 11th, so I can't schedule Remicade until he is back to write me a new order. I sure am hurting and need my Remicade! Oh, I had a tip for ya. Since a pool is accessible, sit in a hot bath and loosen your joints that way and do stretches. Or, what I do, I have a bath chair I sit on under the shower and once I am warmed up, I do stretching in there. Keep up the great work on that Prednisone! ~Smiles, Rainy Re: [ ] social security OT > Hi Lynn, > I'm doing Good for the most part.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2002 Report Share Posted March 8, 2002 Hi all you guys, I have an appoint with my reumy the 23rd and I am considering asking for the remicade. I have talked to several users that say they haver never done so well and one is actually squatting again, I can bearly remember when I could do that. I have noticed a slight improvment since I have started doing the water exercises. I also think some of it may be psycological, we have such a good tim for that 45 min. and getting to be out of the house by myself means alot too. I actually get to drive the car all by myself haha. Wishing you all a great weekend Judy from Indy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 9, 2002 Report Share Posted March 9, 2002 Judy, Oh I know how happy you must be to be able to get out of the house and finally be able to get in the pool. It was a very long wait for you. I doubt that the improvements are psychological only because so many people feel better with water therapy. I don't think I've ever heard anyone say the water therapy didn't help. Remicade is getting such good reports. I hope if you decide to do it that you're one that responds well. a Re: [ ] Becky / Remicade / Tip Hi all you guys, I have an appoint with my reumy the 23rd and I am considering asking for the remicade.
