I went to see my RD again today. I got a steroid shot in each shoulder.
I also received a prescription for Enbrel in the once a week form. I found
out that I was one week early for my appointment but he saw me anyway my
other appointment was cancelled because of his migraine headache and
everyone received the same treatment and I nearly had my wife drive me
there. I could not get out of bed almost. The Remicade is cancelled due
to my reaction to it. Now,,,,, its all about will Enbrel kick in again...
We shall see. I know I have missed a great deal in the lives of so many
here and I am sorry for that. Just give me some time to catch up,,,, to
recover from feverless pneumonia(sp) and the changes in life that we all
have to deal with.
God bless you

Welcome back Harv. I do hope you get to feeling better. I told you
about that yard work and going out all hours dancing. Besides us being
too old for that stuff. Glad your home,

I will tag on too. Thank all of you for your welcome back. The Enbrel
will be delivered at my home Friday and as the blind man says,, we shall
see. I say it that way because sooo many things in life,,, we have no
control over and in my life,,, if it be thy will Lord. I do have my hopes
up and I do realize that restarting DMARDs sometimes does not work as well.
Been there, done that.

Harv.
Very sorry to hear that you are suffering again. Hopefully the steroid
shoulder shots will relieve the pain there. You did OK on enbrel
before, so let's hope it does the trick this time.
Think of you.

Harv, can't tell you how good it is to see you back in the group! We
missed you a great deal, but please make sure you find balance in being
here and of resting and taking good care of yourself. You have had a
rough time of it and your body probably still needs its fair share of
rest.
Lots of prayers and healing thoughts winging their way to you my friend!
May the enbrel kick back in quickly and work every bit as well as it has
in the past for you!!!
Blessings!

Thank you and you are right because I got the same speeeeech from the wife
this morning. I just have to let things go for awhile. It is like what
Janet said to KJ on another thread, things to do will still be there when I
am more able to do my best with them and feeling better.
You can not know how embarrassed I was at the doctors office when I had
to be told I was there on the wrong day by a week. When I realized what
was taking place when the RD brought me right in and listened to what I had
to say and told me how many of my joints were hot and started laying out the
stuff for the shots I had asked for. I was so happy that something was
being done but then I realized that someone else was sitting on the exam
table in another room wondering what was taking the doctor so long. So it
goes when you are in enough pain that the big " its about me " becomes more
important than waiting your turn, coming on the right day, putting the
pressure on my RD who was too pale from dealing with migraine and the stress
of doing what he does and the business he is in. It is about me and I am a
little ashamed.
love ya DG

Harv...it IS about you....we want what is best for you and for you to
get to feeling better.
You are your own best friend and advocate. If that doc truly did not
have time for you he would have said something. You have a very
caring doc and he knew you needed treatment. Yes, someone else was
waiting, but one day they will need immediate help and someone else
will have to wait...what comes around goes around. It all balances
out in the end.
Now...just get better already, will ya? LOL
Praying Hard!

Janet said it well, Harv. We all make these mistakes from time to time (yes,
I have done the same thing!). The fact that your RD saw you anyway shows how
much he cares, how much you needed treatment that day AND that he thought he
could handle fitting you in today. Now just relax and let those meds get to
work, ok? Hey, I started Enbrel last Friday. You and I can improve on it
together!
