Guest guest Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Jill, Glad Ed's fever wasn't something more serious. Mind if I ask how you treat your RA and Fibro? Pamela Ed's fever Well, our GP saw Ed first thing yesterday morning.( His hepatic) specialist is in Cleveland 2 1/2 hours away. So he did labs and a chest xray stat. He feel sit was a virus, but warned him that he will be more susceptible to things because of his compromised heath. Said to make sure we check with someone whenever he's sick like this.We just never know whether it's a virus or something big!! His sodium level is low....They told him to lay off salt...and now it's low. We go back Friday for labs again. So life goes on for now!! Thanks for all your support. And Bob, you did actually talk to me before.! I just stayed quiet for about the last year. This is all so bizarre- my sister is in end stage kidney failure and my husband has end stage liver disease. What are the odds of that? I myself have RA, OA and fibromaygia to deal with. Ed and I laugh and say we make a fine pair when we both hurt and are going somewhere! Love,Jill We don't remember days, we remember moments. Life is not measured by the breaths we take,but by the moments that take our breath away.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Sure..... Why are you asking? It's taken some time to find a combination that works for me. I take lots of drugs. I take methotrexate and plaquenil for my RA and Lyrica combined with pain killers( mscontin) and shots from my pain management Dr. I get through the day most times. But when I have a flareup- it's bad.Those are the days my skin hurts to touch. I curl up on the sofa and hide! I do relaxation techniques and we have a hot tub. Most times, though, I smile and keep on going! Love,Jill We don't remember days, we remember moments. Life is not measured by the breaths we take,but by the moments that take our breath away.
