Well, I am now on short term disability for at least eight weeks now. My rheumatologist has prescribed me a new medicine to take instead of Embrel. I am not going to be taking Humira. Another biological medicine. I hate taking different meds as I don’t know how they will affect me until its to late. At least some good came out of my last visit as she also upped my Prednisone script. I am on ten milligrams a day now although I don’t think that little amount will do anything for me… we’ll see though…

Even though I am not working anymore for the time being, it does get boring at home now during the days. I’ll probably be on Facebook more now since I have nothing to do. I have to admit, its nice to be able to sleep in when I can (usually when not in pain). These last couple of months I have been out of my mind with pain in every joint. So bad that I couldn’t even play WII or the XBox cause my hands and fingers hurt so bad. I hope I have a positive reaction to this new drug. I have me fingers crossed. I’ll keep you posted as well.
