Things are finally looking up!!!!!!

June 26, 2002

Hi everyone, hope that everybody is doing well or at least trying

to. Things have improved a great deal for me the past couple of days

and I just wanted to share my small taste of success with anyone who

will listen. I founf d ot over the weekend that I DO NOT have

diabetes, I hate to say it but that is the one thing that Dr. Luthra

should have done a little more testing on. 160 is high but I don't

think it is that high on 45mg of pred-anyway my GP gave me a pill to

lower my blood sugar level and I bottomed out-was so sick sat and

sun. I mean so sick that I couldn't move-I finally called the pharm

and she said eat candy quick-and quit taking those pills. So I re

dignosed mydelf with not having diabetes. However, the best thing

that Dr. Luthra has done for me to date is have my rheumy put me on

CELLCEPT. I got off the methro-i had shown no signs of improvement

in 3 months and now I have been taking cellcept for almost 3 weeks

and am feeling 100% better.Or at least I am able to get up and move

around the pain is not so severe and I feel at least partly human. I

was begining to wonder if I was stuck in the land of no return.

I am still having problems with the bottoms of my feet-red and

inflammed they are very hard to walk on-anyone else with feet pain?

I am on 800mg of Neurotin 3 X a day, but it doesn't seem to be

helping. The liquid and sores on my ears are haling-thank God. I

really feel some hope indstead of hopelessness and helpless. I just

hope that if continues, but if I have a set back I will deal with it,

just like I have in the past. Thanks for listening-love ya'll-
