Guest guest Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 I am in a very upseting position and don't know what to do. I came back from short term disabilty about 3 months ago. My doctor didn't approve but signed my release anyway. I am in a full blown flare, which I have never fully recovered from that started a year ago this month. I am a Computer Operator for a payroll company. I continue to flare despite trying many different medications. I am on Methotrexate, Volteran, Prednisone, and Lortabs for the pain. But I have been on Remicade, Sulfasalazine as well. Meanwhile the inflammation in my body continues to rise. My doctor says I am a very difficult case, but who among us isn't. My medications don't seem to work. I will be starting a study soon with metho and Rituxan and am very hopeful. I also have lupus with kidney involvement. I was informed 2 weeks ago that my kidneys are starting to go into failure. I am scared and depressed as I am moving into a new apartment next week, and fear I will not be able to work as I will be starting dialysis soon. Any suggestions? I am trying to keep my head up as this is not new to me, but I fear the financial burden I will be putting on my family due to leaving my job.
