Better and better but it has been soooo slow in getting my lungs to clear
up.   Thank goodness my family doctor jumped on what was going on there with
both feet.  Anti-bio shot and two different prescriptions  and I have taken
all of one and still taking the other for about another week or so.
Someone in the newsgroup gave me a suggestion for helping clear my ears up
and help with being dizzy and I am still taking Sudafed and like you my
hearing is coming back slowly.

My last visit with my RD got me changed from Remicade to Enbrel with steroid
shots in both shoulders.

I am improving on every front.

OOooh, I have about 7 more months on the TB medicine.   It ended up the
medicine does not bother me at all.  It just so happened that my walking
phewmonia (monia with no fever) hit me at the same time I started the
medicine and like with DMARDs,,,, I blamed the new medicine for how I
felt......  Wrong,,wrong wrong....but who knew???

Will you be able to start right back on the Enbrel as soon as you finish
the TB meds?

 I told my RD that my problems do not get along.   type 2 diabetes, TB and
DMARDS for RA.   He smiled and said,,,, I hear that sooo much but its better
to know and do as much as a person can for each problem.   There are always
blessings to be found when we look for them.   I can continue to take Enbrel
as I fight TB and the blessing is I have found out that I can take it every
other week without going into a flare so far.   I will continue to other the
same amount each month and build a stockpile tward 4 years from now when I
will no longer have insurance by rotation and using the oldest first.

Have you been able to clear the pneumonia???
Yes.....

information on how you are.......  I hope you continue to improve.    I
enjoy your emails very much.    Got you and Chief back again,,,,, my world
is round again.
