Hi Everyone - Can't keep up

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I have not posted lately and have not replied to a few people. I apologize. It's a long story, but since I came home from the hospital three weeks ago I've been battling the sarc monster and with the University Hospital where my Rheumy is to get me back on some kind of Methotrexate (preferably injection) and also let me know what's going on with insurance for Remicade. To make a long story short, I was ready to call and fire them when I got a phone call saying they were calling in the meth by injection. FINALLY. My hubby gave me my first shot yesterday morning and so far I've not had any of the side affects that I had from the pills. I had horrible diarrhea within 10 minutes of taking the pills which lasted for 4 to 5 days. I've had none so far. I had mouth sores and other stuff also. Over 24 hours later and NO diarrhea! Yea! My regular doc is not happy with how they are treating me at UTSouthwestern Hospital. I am going to see if I can get into a group of so-called elite Rheumies at St. hospital in Dallas. My doc wants someone to take me under their wing, because she says I am too seriously ill not to have a doc monitoring me at all times. The university only has clinics on Wednesdays and never returns calls!

I've been extremely tired trying to get an Avon business off the ground this week also. I'm totally not a sales person so this is just something I'm trying since I can't really do my babysitting anymore but once a week. Wish me luck because financially we are doing horribly. This sarc monster has not only ruined me physically, but also financially. O.k., so I'm whining now. ha-ha.

I have pictures of my boys and hubby I'd love to put with the others, but can't figure out how to get them off my computer yet. Someday I'll figure it out. I love seeing everyone's pictures. I hope everyone is doing o.k. as I just don't have time to read all my email! If I've miss anything serious in the last couple weeks please send me an email personally. I don't want to miss if anyone needed prayers or anything important happened.

Love and hugs to all,

Diane in TX
