My dog is an australian cattledog mix and she never leaves my side.

They are true companions aren't they? Don't know what I would do without her.

I have had RA for about 8 years. It was not bad until I fell last

June, and for some reason, a flare up ensued and has not stopped. Prednisone

made me sick. Can't take methotrexate. Dr finally started me on ENBREL, which

helps a lot, about 85%. But with the insurance and the donut hole, I am not sure

if I will be able to stay on it as it costs $1000.00 a month, my co pay is only

3 dollars,.....but my part D says my limit is 3000.00, at this rate my limit

will be up in three months.I do not know where this will leave me.

RA has changed my life so much. My relationship has deteriorated, we are still

together, but he does his thing and I do mine, the only time we spend any time

together is when my RA flares up bad and he has to help me up and down. He

resents helping me, he does not say it but I can tell by his reaction.

Depression is a big part of all this too.

It was minus 10 here the other day, I am in Wyoming, and right now there is a

foot of snow on the ground. I do not go outside much at all in the winter, and

cabin fever sure does not help the depression. I sleep too much.

My australian sheppard is constantly by my side, he is like my shaddow, my

protector.
