Well, my first injection was on Wednesday (4/13) around 14:00 (2:00 pm
MDT).  So far, so good.  I can actually make a fist of my left hand,
without any pain (Oh My Freakin' God), that's been more than year.  I
can "close" my right hand further than I've been able to for at least 3
months (but it does hurt).

Today, my knees and and hips feel well enough that I'm noticing my feet
hurt.  Who can imagine it's a good thing when one can feel their feet
hurt?

Please, please, please, let this keep working (looking up).

So far, I'm liking this (and the numbing the area prior to the shot was
an outstanding suggestion, wish I could remember who told me that so I
could THANK you profusely!).  At any rate, it seems to be working, and
I am such a happy "little" girl.

Touch wood!  I don't want to tempt fate (or whatever), but I am
actually *able* to cross the fingers on my left hand, and I'm just
flying over this!

May others find something that works, and that they can afford, I want
everyone here to have hope (considering how little I ended up with
before Tri-Care).

Can't tell you how much I appreciate ALL of you.
