Yeah, I understand I was supposed to go on a little family reunion

with my husband for 3 days last week. I was way too sick to go but I

also refused to go because I knew my MIL would constantly be watching me

to check for signs that I wasn't really sick and was just making this

up. I know she thinks I'm a hypochondriac and just dragging her precious

son down

Sigh...

I'm having the worst flare ever since I'm off Enbrel while I take

antibiotics for a UTI and a sinus infection. I hurt all over and I can't

believe the pain; muscles, finger and wrist joints, head, c spine,

herniated discs, you name it. Lyrica and Hydrocodone and Pred is barely

taking the edge off. Plus the depression is killing me. All I can do is

to try to look forward to 2 weeks down the line when I can take the

shots again. It's hard to hold on to that sometimes, tho

I have assignments that I have to get done, too (I work from home)

and it's becoming so hard to drag myself out of bed to do them.

(And take the cat in for surgery, and the kid to work, and the other

kid to allergy shots, etc.)

Basically I'm just feeling really sorry for myself, thx for listening

I know that a lot of you have it a lot worse, and right now I'm just

sorry that we have to suffer so much
