Methrotraxate Round Three

Feeling alot better

Stiffness and tiredness are gone, and I feel like like a human being again. Been hurting for so long, I did not know what "normal" felt like anymore. I hope I will stay this way and we caught the disease early enough to prevent joint damage.

Methrotraxate Round Two

Took the second dose of methrotraxate today. Last dose was on August, 7th. The following Saturday, I was so tired, slept most of the day. When I was awake, my movements, my brain. were in slow motion. It took an effort to do the simplest tasks. My husband, Dennis was great, and took the kids, to a family friend house so they can play with her grandson Damian. Which gave me the house to myself for the afternoon. and much needed sleep time.

I feel so much better, it is the Predizone, I know, because the Methrotraxate has not build enough in my system to take effort. I was hurting so much, for so long, I didn't realize how much pain I was in, All I could do was get thru the day mode. and I lived for the weekend when I could sleep in. I hope I can tolerate this medication well, and that I all need to control the Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Why did I get the disease, I got it from my mother, While the doctors, don't know what causes it, The doctors thank it might be a genetic link. Rheumatoid Arthritis, is a autoimmune disease. My immune system thanks my lining in my joints are a foreign object. It send out the white blood cells to attack the lining of my joints, this in turn., cause the joint to be inflamed, and eventually it will cause joint damage if not treated.

Rhemuatoid Arthiritis.

Finally know what is wrong with me. Rheumatoid Arthritis.. The pieces of the puzzle is solved.. While, I don't want to have this disease. Now I take the steps to get better and a doctor that don't thank I am crazy. I don't want have to take predizone again for the next two months while the other drug methotraxate builds up in my system. I don't know what is worse; nausea, or weight gain. One drug that will put weight on you and the other one, nausea.. If it said may cause nausea, it will on me.. I will take it tomorrow afternoon and hopefully it will be no problem taking it. All I know, is that I want to feel better. and enjoy life again.. I just too damn stubborn to throw in the towel just yet.. I doing every thing I know to help me not to gain the weight. but I get so hungry while on the Predizone. .
