Hi gang, reading posts and seeing all your names makes me happy.

I am doing pretty good. Started the MTX shots 7 weeks ago.  Seven sticks so
far LOL  and I  must say the amount of joint pain has diminished quite a
bit.
The side effects when taking the shot, that night and next day were kinda
hard to get over but with each shot, it is getting easier.  Make me feel
like I am a noodle.
Still alot of nausea but HEY better than pain right?
I also have found the fatigue is much less too, so that is good.  MORE
stamina, shall I say LOL

I am however finding that I am much more forgetful.  NO it is not with my
age people....even though the big 6           0 is coming in a few weeks
haha.
Before I started the shots of MTX, I was experiencing headaches on the off
but had the neck injected and they got better.
Now they are back and sometimes daily.  I am forgetting things. LOST a
bottle of water one day found it back 2 weeks later stuffed under some
blankets???  Yep don't ask me why.
Then putting stuff in refrig that need to go to the utility cabinet..
Typing and writing words that don't make sense Then I can't read it...duh
(using spell check here LOL)
And also when I talk I hesitate and can not think of the words I need  to
say. OH I can see it but brain won't let me say it. This happens a lot and
now the rheumy told me of Lupus attacking the brain.  something I didn't
want to hear.
At first she said all my meds but then retracted cause she didn't feel the
MTX would cause that.
so if it keeps up and dizzy spells, then an MRI...
Hot dang, I am just feeling good and ready to ride my hubby's scooter LOL.
And I will too.
So let's hope this is a fluke and there is nothing but meds doing
it.....but ..........

My sed rate on MTX is still higher than the 6 weeks before with out
MTX...figure that out??  Plus I dropped a 1mg of medrol...amen to that one.
WBC are low so no upping MTX yet........hmm complicated right???

Hope you all are behaving yourself and if anyone has anything to tell me,
let's hear from you, here or at my private dwelling haha

Summer is around the corner, get that sunblock on, your hats and your sun
clothes....enjoy yourself.  LIFE is short
hugs
