Guest guest Posted December 13, 2002 Report Share Posted December 13, 2002 Hi Dear Ones...well, I am doing some better on my food, and have actually (don't faint!) done some range of motion and strengthening exercises. I walked with a shopping cart at the store a couple times...I can't do it for long, but am tryng to walk more. Today, I used the Mart-Cart. My Remicade has been pooping out on me earlier and earlier...first at seven weeks, then 5 1/2, now 3 1/2. The swelling in my hands, fingers, wrists has markedly increased these past few days. My kids have noticed it, as had I. So far the pain is only moderate...I hope that's where it stays. We may have to look for another alternative to Remicade or change dosage or something...I am going to discuss this with my rheumy after Christmas. However, there won't be any Remicade til late February at the earliest because of my gynecological procedures. I've been eating more fruits and vegetables...I don't now why it's so hard as I really do like them. I am taking a multi-vitamin, plus C, E, folic acid, Omega Fatty Acid, Co-Enzyme Q10 and Alpha Lipoic Acid - all at moderate recommended doses. What else is supposed to help the immune system? OK, I'm saying goodnight to all my sweet friends. Much Love & Many Hugs... Tess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
