Guest guest Posted April 22, 2002 Report Share Posted April 22, 2002 Hi Squeek, I wish my insurance had approved it, because my joints hurt so bad. I woke up to a major flare today. I have been getting doctor apts. set up all day. Some I will have to wait until tomorrow. Geez I wanna feel good. But I know we all do! You take care, have you starting eating lots of cheese yet? Mousey? loll Lu I agree, it is gross, but it is helping. Not as much as I had hoped for, but for the joints it is wonderful. I have about given up on anything ever really helping the ears! Like I say, it does help, but I still flare in the ears on a regular basis. No wonder your insurance won't pay! Since my rheumy raised my dose my last bill was over $4,000. I get infused every month, so that is a heck of a lot of money. I think our insurance company hates me!! How are you doing now? Hope you are feeling better! Are you tolerating the Imuran yet? I am praying for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have this overwhelming fear of cats now....squeek, squeek! Sorry you woke up with a flare today. Geesh, you really need to get some good days going for you. Wish I could help. Has you doc tried to get your insurance to approve Enbrel? It is anti TNF like Remicade, but it is a bit less spendy. Wouldn't hurt to ask. Please let us know how your appointments go today and tomorrow. Love, squeek ===== __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2002 Report Share Posted April 23, 2002 Squeek your a hoot! lol I will talk to the new rheumy about it as soon as I can get an apt. I have called all day and their line is busy. Now I'm thinking is he the right choice? lol I went to my primary today, I have a horrible sinus infection. He refilled all my meds and said he would be glad to do all of my blood work from here so I wouldn't have to travel to get that done. So, I will try calling again tomorrow. Because after all Tomorrow is another Day! ( saying this with a southern accent. Love u Lu Eating lots of cheese? Me? You bet! I also have this overwhelming fear of cats now....squeek, squeek!

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2002 Report Share Posted July 21, 2002 Hi Squeek, Yes, I hope to come to that reunion and met new and see old friends. That will be a lot of fun. Thanks for the prayers and especially for praying for during this difficult time for her and her family. Take care, Love, Lu I doubt we would want to ship you back to Bama in a hurry. Think of all the Oregonions you could visit....me, Glenda, Dagny, Roy....then Washington is so close you could run up there and visit all our neighbors. We'd love having you!! Saving for the reunion? Take care, Lu, and know that I will continue to pray for . Gee, I can't seem to stop praying for all of you! Love, squeek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2002 Report Share Posted October 18, 2002 Then we can call you Dr. Squeek, Please let us know, okay? Love, Lu .. Her nurse practitioner thinks she has RA on top of her fibro. I've been telling her that for a couple of years, so we'll find out if I am a good diagnostition or not.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2002 Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 Good for you Squeek, let them doctors know about RP. Hey I bet we can call you Dr. Squeek before its over. I hope your sister gets better and you too. I am going to Birmingham on the 29th and have surgery if possible on the 30th for the tumors on my feet. They will only be working on the left one this time. If they can't get the tumor they are going to try and get a biopsy to make sure its not malignant. They seem to think its RP related. I'll let you know when I return how everything went. Love you Lu .. Of course, I just happened to have some brochures on hand and she was happy to take them. I'll let you know how this all pans out. How are you doing, Lu? Hope you are taking good care of yourself! Love, squeek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
