The Blue Pigeon
The mayor of Phoenix was very worried about a plague of pigeons in Phoenix. He could not remove the pigeons from the city. All of Phoenix was full of pigeon poop, the people of Phoenix could not walk on the sidewalks, or drive on the roads. It was costing a fortune to keep the streets and sidewalks clean.One day a man came to City Hall and offered the Mayor a proposition. 'I can rid your beautiful city of it...

How I feel this day…

Still Here

Sep 2nd

I am still here and alive. It’s been awhile since I posted anything. To much bullshit going on but so far now its getting better (knocking on wood). I do believe I have found all the right Doctors (ones who actually care) and not one of them is from Cleveland Clinic!

I am going on my second month with Embrel but I have yet to feel any better. I have to wait at least three months for it to take full affect. I am hoping it works but I would have thought by now that I would be feeling better, not yet though. If it does not work by the third month I don’t know what my Rheumatologist’s next plan of attack will be?

Worst

Today (this morning) was with out a doubt the worst pain to date. I give it a 9 out of 10 on the pain scale. My ankles are the worst, then my hands. My knuckles are actually swelling up and causing my hands to look like I finally have rheumatoid arthritis. I wanted to cry like a bitch it hurt so bad. I went and had more blood work done and that was a pain (literally) having to walk through the hospital. I can’t imagine what it would be like with out my pain medicines. Right now, the pain meds knocked my pain down from a 9 to a 7. That does not seem like much but I am VERY great-full for even that minor bit of relief (since I know what the full affect of this disease feels like minus any pain meds)!

My pain rating today is about an 8 out of 10 (10 being the worst). After pain meds kick in (about an hour or two after taking them) I am at about a 5 which is tolerable / manageable. My hands are the worst today followed by my lower back left hip and my knee’s & ankles. Swelling in my hands prevent me from even putting my own socks on today. Using my cane heavily today. Nothing else to report except the pain hurts…

I am very sleepy today. Probably because I did not get to bed until around 1 or 2 AM in the morning. It is Stress Free Friday! As I mentioned in a previous post (SOMETIMES…) this is what you have to say. It’s almost 5PM. Waiting for quitting time. I think I am going to have some German Bombs this weekend. Ya, that’s it, gonna get drunk.
