Hey everyone, I'm sorry I've not been around much, but I am not doing so well. I have been off Methotrexate for 2 months, and was not able to get my my first 6 week Remicade infusion, so basically I'm on nothing, but Plaquanil and that's just not enough, Besides feeling awful, tired, pain, I've had a cold for over a week now and the cough is awful, waking me up at night.

I've really been in a funk, depressed, I'm so tired of everything. I saw the doctor last week for the elevated liver enzymes, and he said more blood tests and a liver biopsy before I can go back on the Remicade and no more Methotrexate. Then the doctors assistant says I can't schedule this until your Insurance approves it, and I will be out of the office until Monday. My husband said I should of been more aggressive about getting it scheduled, but I just didn't have the energy, so I will call and remind them on Monday to get on it asap.

I know some of you have had one, it doesn't sound to bad, is that so??

I am sorry for all the birthday's I've missed, I know it's a lot, so...........Happy Birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to all those I've missed, Happy birthday to youuuuuuuuuuu,

I hope that makes up for it. I will post when I can, but to tell you the truth, I'd rather just sit in my chair wrapped in my blanket and watch the storm and remember just how blessed I am.

My husband said if I would just put my make up on and do my hair I will feel better? I am not one to go without make up, so I'm sure he's right! I had to get up and go today, My daughter had a volley ball game for school at 9:20, so I did get up, and made up and took her, then we stopped at a book store and got a new book and had Mocha's together, she said she wished we did that more often, so will have to do that, good way to stay connected, since she will be 13 next month.

Sorry to rattle on. I will try to do better as soon as I can, I hope I can get the bx done this week, as I feel the symptoms coming back, the right side numb and pain is the worse right now,oh and the head pain too, all nerve pain, I've taken more pain pill this week then I have in months.

I hope everyone is OK ,and for those of you hit by this Storm, I am praying for you.

love ya all,

Marla
