Hi Cindi,....I made it back from the clinic, the doctor put me on

50mg of Zoloft, and can bring it up to 100mg daily if I need to. I'm

not sure about Zoloft, have you ever taken it?

As far as Methotrexate, I was on the pills but had to go off it,

because my enzymes kept going up. Then I lost my insurance, and so I

couldn't keep up with blood work, so they just took me off it. I am

on that patient asssistance program for humira, I am just sad that it

isn't working. They put me on weekly injections, instead of bi-

weekly and still no luck.

Now that my husband has a job with good insurance, I should get the

help I need soon. Just not sure when it will kick in, I'm scared to

ask. They always start about the pr-existing condition.

Thanks for your concern, I really appreciate you so much. How are

you doing lately? I haven't heard from you in awhile, and I haven't

been online much either. You take care, hugs Tawny

Hi cindi,

I'm sorry that your appeal was denied. Just don't give up Cindi,

because you deserve the disability. I will keep you in my prayers,

I'm sorry that your having it so rough. I was in the same situation

until my disability kicked in. It is good that you have insurance.

I took the Zoloft today, didn't feel any different. I know it takes

awhile to start working. Hopefully, it will help me. I feel a bit

better today, and that is a great thing right now. You take care

Cindi, and I am always here for you, hugs Tawny
