A quick overdue update.

Okay, I have been neglecting this blog.

Maybe it's because I've actually been feeling good!

My rheumatologist added Lyrica and Skelaxin to my meds at night and it has been working wonders. I actually sleep now. An odd occurrence but a wonderful one! I'm still taking Celebrex and Plaquenil too during the day. This combo seems to actually be working! Picture me jumping up and down with joy much like this picture below:




Well, of course it was inevitable that I would have a set back. The other night I felt so weak and tired that I could barely move. My hubby had to drag me back to the bedroom so I could rest. He even moved the TV back there. Isn't that sweet! I felt worthless pretty much the whole next day too. I had a lot of pain in my ankles and arms. Ick. But hey, what doesn't kill us makes us stronger right! At least I haven't yet caught the sickness that the rest of my family has. They have sore throats and the kids are hacking and coughing on EVERYTHING!! Darn children. I hope they keep their germs to themselves.

I hope by now you've STILL been able to avoid the sore throat and coughing and stuff!
