Oh my!! Didn't realize it has been that long since last post. I've been having alot of things going on lately. Unfortunately, it wasn't too many great things. Lots of flare-ups in my hands, kids w/ the stomach bug, and ER /doctors visits:(

This past few weeks has been really hard. My plans two Sundays ago were to attend church. But, things just didn't go that way. My flares had gotten so bad my husband took me to the ER before church started. To top it off our church had a Soul Food dinner and Black History program that.. bummer:( While at the ER, my wait wasn't that bad...thankfully! I was given Dilaudid and Toredal. Which made things soooo much better. Only I was nauseated, because I had nothing to eat being that I had gotten there before 7 am. Other than that I was on my way to being pain-free....at least for that moment.

Went back to my Rheumy hadn't seen him in a few months. Although I was given a prescription on my last visit of Humira. So that lasted me a good while. However this time he refused to right a script of any sort because he wanted to me all flared-up(that makes no sense). So he wants me to all take Aleve. Which it causes stomach pains and I figured he knew that from all my visits. But he asks the same questions since my first visit like he has never changed or updated any of our convos.

Enough of that! To day is a great day! 11 years ago I married my wonderful Husband!!!! You're the best RJB3:)

Oh my! Didn't realize it had been so long since I've blogged. With all the swelling and pain in these joints, life is still grand! I've just been thankful to be able to feel such of a thing. Never thought I 'd be happy to say that.

It is reported that we've received over 18 inches of snow. The kids are loving this! Snow Angels to be made all day....so they thought. Ha!

Went to bed last night with a low grade fever. Unfortunately that comes along with this thing called RA. Having dealt with this since 2005, it's nothing you could ever get used to. Some would think you could, but those are the ones who thinks a headache is EXCRUCIATING...not! I think I much rather have a headache everyday, than having joint pain all over my body.

Many of you may want to know what is my Rheumy doing for me. The answer is absolutely nothing! My Rheumy who gave me diagnosis relocated about a year ago. Since then I started this new guy. Who is so not worth my agony and time. No compassion, no concern and thinks because he has the degree he knows whats going on in my body. Just because you have a piece of paper doesn't mean you know exactly whats going on. Not only that, all bodies are "wired" differently. I mean really... how can you tell someone how they feel?

My plan is to update this a little more often. Just been a bit inflamed....if you know what I mean. ~Through it all RA won't Win~
