Hi Group - just had to share this silly story. I had to have a heart

catheterization back in 2006 and was scared out of my mind. When they

took me into the room to do the procedure, they gave me some meds they

called " conscious sedation " . Then my Cardio said " Everyone ready? I

think we can begin " . I yelled out " WAIT!! Am I supposed to be this

alert?!? " I was totally freaked out. Thank God my Cardio had a good

sense of humor and said " Oh, that's right, she takes a lot of pain

meds - give her some more. " And that was the last thing I remembered

until they woke me up in recovery. I was worried for nothing, the

procedure itself went well, the healing process was uneventful and

aside from some mild pulmonary hypertension, there were no blockages

and my heart was good. Scared the bejesus out of me to begin with,

though.....Doreen

That is a funny story, probably wasn't then but is now. I was afraid that would

happen when I had my endoscopy but I don't remember a thing. Thank you Doreen

for the kind words, God does have a path already planned for me, I pray He takes

all the stairs and and bumps out of the way.

I was taking MTX (1ML shot) weekly but the sight of the yellow fluid would make

me deathly sick. My wife would even surprise me with the shot, but then the

thought of it made me sick and I had to stop taking it. I have been reading

about the supplements others are taking and would like to know what helps and

what it does.

Thank you to the group for all your help. I had an Orencia infusion today and

(psychologically) I feel better.
