I'm having a pity party! Feel free to join!

[Guest guest]

I am starting to feel like a lil old lady! Please don't anyone take offense to

that statement..... I am officially old according to my daughter.

I turned 39 last week and seeing the downward spiral my life has taken this

year... I am starting to FEEL old and I HATE IT. I think that RA rearing it's

ugly head into my life on my birthday last year has made me depressed because I

HOPED it would have been better by THIS birthday. Age has never mattered to

me... It was only a number and when I FELT good, life was great. Life sucks

right now. I am flaring in the worst possible way and I am blaming the %^$#@ & !!!

weather.

I am having pain in my: hands, fingers, elbows, hips, knees, feet, and once

again my toes. If I could pinpoint the WORST pain, it has to be in my elbows and

then my hands/fingers. Gone are the days of being able to tie my shoes

comfortably, peeling a banana, and today the ultimate slap in the face so to

speak: I couldn't open a splenda packet. I found myself looking at slip on shoes

this morning....

I felt the best on MTX and Humira together. Humira alone, even though I inject

every 10 days, is NOT cutting it..... I do have a call in to my rheumy and am

hoping he can see me this week. I am pretty sure he will put me on Prednisone

(YAY! Weight gain! *sarcasm*) and see me within a few days unless, of course, he

is on vacation. Maybe he can come up with a better option.

So all together now.... 1...2...3..... AWWWWWWWWWW.

I feel so much better! :-)
