We returned from Colorado and two weeks later flew up to North Dakota to visit our youngest son and then on up into Winnipeg. The trips were great, but I was SO glad to be home. Sad to say, when we returned home and started going through the mail we had a notice from the wonderful IRS that we are going to be audited for the year 1999. I can't remember what happened last week, much less two years ago. This should be interesting. Also, my brother had emergency heart surgery while I was away. He wasn't too happy that I was out of town when this happened, as I kind of watch over him and check up on him. He drove himself to the hospital when the chest pain started, they admitted him and operated the next morning. I told him he'd have to schedule these heart attacks for when I would be in town. LOL He's seems to be doing fine now. Glenda, prepare to take back a big bear hug from me to Sharon. I do love that girl. Love you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do keep lots and lots of records however, so those would have to suffice if I were audited. Yuck! Not something you need to be thinking about right now at reunion time. Glad to hear that your brother is o.K. Did he have a bypass/bypasses? Yeah you just gotta teach him to only do things like that when you are available! And how are you doing ma'am? Take care of yourself, cause I am sending a really big hug with Glenda! Got that Glenda? Love you, Sharon ===== __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2001 Report Share Posted August 25, 2001 " You're right these are not fun to deal with. Wonder if they go a way the longer we take the medication. Seems odd that it took about 7 weeks before I started to get them. " Marilyn, I started MTX about the same time as you, and now I'm starting to get headaches that take a full day to go away (I take two Tylenols several times a day). I take my MTX dosage starting Tuesday. But for the second timein a row, I've woken up on Saturday with the stinking headache. Next week I'll be starting on 12.5mg of MTX (up from 10mgs) and in 3 wks, I'm scheduled to increase it to 15 altogether. I hope that I won't end up with a stinking headachex100 in 2\3 wks time! My dr. said if I start to feel better (with the RP) but feel nauseous, I could try the injectible form of MTX, but I just saw someone post here that they inject and still feel the nausea. What gives? (Oh, and the productive coughing finally stopped just yesterday. it was probably a chest cold. Anyone know what you're supposed to do when you have breathing problems and you end up with a cold? Sounds like it could be fatal. I know I felt like I couldn't breathe one night...) ===== When choosing the lesser of two evils, I always like the one I haven't tried. -- Mae West __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found that an ice pack on the back of my head and neck really helped... Gosh I hope yours goes away soon... Know that while on metho your immune system is further compromised and you will be prone to more colds and infections...Be careful and be sure to see or call your dr if you even suspect an infection....

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2001 Report Share Posted August 25, 2001 , I was on injectable Metho for a long time and had no trouble with nausea. You need to call your doctor right away if you suspect you are coming down with a cold. I was in the hospital 5 times last year with respiratory problems.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2001 Report Share Posted August 26, 2001 Marilyn, sorry to hear that you have had the flu...Hope you are better soon. Just sit and relax and read a good book... That's where I'm heading now... My ear is beginning to flare inside I think.... Guess I spoke too soon. LOL Hope it isn't and it just goes away... Don't want to up my pred again.. Been doing so well... I think a nap is just what the dr ordered. LOL Get better soon and know I'm thinking of ya. hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 26, 2001 Report Share Posted August 26, 2001 Hi , Thanks for letting me know about your headaches. In a way, it's comforting to know that someone else who just started on the medication is also getting them. Wish that neither of us were having them though. Yes, we both started on the metho about the same time. I am still on 12.5 mgs a week. Have to work up to 15 here in the next month. My headaches come on the day " after " I take the metho. They usually only last the one day, however, when I did take 15 mgs. a couple weeks ago, I had the headache for several days. Thought it was never going to go a way. When you aren't used to getting them and then all of a sudden you do, it's kind of frustrating and scary. Have been battling the stomach flu the past two days. Spent all day yesterday in bed. Called the doctor's office just as they were closing and they said it's going around. Hope to feel better tomorrow. Take care. Love, Marilyn You're right these are not fun to deal with. > Wonder if they go a way the longer we take the > medication. Seems odd that it took about 7 weeks > > before I started to get them.
