Guest guest Posted May 21, 2002 Report Share Posted May 21, 2002 Hi All...I went through that sun reaction on Mother's Day, and did feel somewhat better after 3 days or so. But, gradually I've been feeling more achey, my wrists are swollen as is my left elbow. My fingers aren't as swollen as on Mother's Day, but are definately swollen more than they have been since I've been on Remicade. This might sound nutty, but I almost feel as though the 'sun incident' cancelled out most of the positive effects of the Remicade I had just two days before that. When I called last week, my Rheummy thought I was having a MTX reaction to the sun, but I woudn't think it would last this long. I am struggling with some depression & financial stressors, which I know don't help. For whatever reason I do usually have a bout of depression in Spring - don't know why. The finances are just the way they are...my daughter, who works VERY hard despite her disability makes less than my SSI. In our county there is a LONG waiting list for subsidized housing, which we're on, but who knows when it'll ever come through. I'm feeling a lot of pressure to try & work, but physically I just can't do it. That makes me cry, as I know of no way I can help us right now. I have to keep my faith, and my attitude up. Please pray for me. In many, many ways I am a MUCH blessed woman. You all are part of that blessing. Thank you for your caring, and your prayers. Hugs of Hope...
