As the weather has changed, and it gets colder or rainier, my joints have been more painful and stiffer. I was hoping that the Remicade would be kicking in. I have two weeks to wait until the next infusion. I had to start up the 5 mg of prednisone because my wrists felt like they were broken one night. Now, many of my joints despite the meds are hurting, my knuckles, my wrists, my shoulders, knees, ankles, toes. Yikes! Placed a call to my Dr's office and told the MA. Had to go in and have labs. Kinda pissed me off. Like I would be faking it? But that's OK. If my sed rate is high it only underlines the situation. But its a factor in RA. Just getting to the diagnosis of RA is an uphill battle. And the having to prove you're hurting. Not fun. I begin to doubt myself even! Well I hope that things are figured out tomorrow.
The wind has been very driven tonight! Saw some transformers blow over the ridge in town. The power went out in the grocery store as I was just finishing my transaction. Whew! I was about to get a lottery scratch ticket from the machine. Good thing I didn't! I would have lost a dollar to the windstorm!
Got my infusion EOB today. Ugly. Now I will turn it in to the Remistart program people for assistance. Thank God! they are able to help. I would be facing the bankruptcy path. Seriously. I'm a bit unhappy that its not working as well as I had hoped. We shall see. There are other biologics out there.
