you know what's good about Thursday..Friday is next!

By -
The bro-in-law asked me how I was feeling today. I said, tired..like crap! Just my Thursday! He says, "you know what's good about Thursday"...ok, in my mind, I'm thinking are you really asking me if there is something good about the WORST day of my week...the day I get to fully experience the joy of methotrexate??!! So, I say, THE END--cause you know I'm thinking the end of the day...he says, nope! Friday is next! Gotta hand it to him, he's right! I'm so thankful tomorrow is Friday!

Since Thanksgiving ALWAYS falls on Thursday and so does methotrexate, I decided that I'd skip the feeling of nausia and enjoy me some turkey and dressing! I really had to think long and hard if I wanted to inject that dreaded feeling today...knowing that I did feel very tired last week, but not the nausia was really on my mind today and I truly HATE this feeling!-yes, that means I took my meds!

So---now, I'm fighting the feeling of tired, and nausia as I smell the pie baking in the oven that must be taken to the chorus concert for sampling (fundraiser stuff-cause I'm certainly not "making" a pie today). I'm thinking I should've skipped the metho cause I just want to go to bed...ugh! Wonder if I should wear a sign at the concert as I'm trying to sell fundraiser food items...I'm not green because of the food I'm trying to sell...it's because of the medicine.

when your DR says, "you are making my brain hurt"

The moment the ophthalmologist puts his hands on the side of his head and says, “you’re making my brain hurt”.   Have you ever had this happen while at the specialist for a recurring visit? I have!   AS is in my eyes! Living with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) has certainly been a challenge. When you’re diagnosed they really don’t tell you all that can happen.   Basically, they just tell you about the potential for spinal fusion.   They leave out that AS can damage every joint in your body!   They leave out that AS can affect your eyes, your heart, your lungs, can cause inflammation behind your vocal box (not fun for this singer) and yes, can cause death. Why is it that so much information isn’t shared when you’re diagnosed?   One reason is simply that some doctors aren’t fully aware of what AS is and does.   Another reason is there is too much old data and information out there.   And lastly, AS effects each person differently.   Autoim...

Don’t confuse inflammation with weight gain/loss and/or bloating Just let that sink in a minute.  Some have already stopped reading...if you're wanting knowledge and education of inflammatory disease...continue on... Let me just begin this post by saying…yes! I’m going to make some of you mad and you’ll probably unfollow me on social media…I don’t really care. In a world of be careful what you say or post-- In a world of #metoo--- In a world of “political correctness”---- I see a LOT of folks saying (posting pictures) look at all this inflammation I had and now look at me.   Yes!   I see you’ve lost WEIGHT, but I do NOT see inflammation.   So to kick off this New Year full of get your gut right, drink my drink and/or join the gym and everything will be perfect in your life STOP! JUST! STOP!   You are actually insulting those of us who truly suffer from an inflammatory disease; those of us who are PRESCRIBED the only thing that will help with i...

Just trying to "do life" with AS and sometimes it's hard!

I think I always start with how long it’s been since my last post.   Also if you are the grammar police, then don’t read anymore!   I’m certainly horrible at grammar and spelling, and don’t need to be told!   The last several months have been a real struggle for me.   In September I started having hives and I don’t just mean a little breakout.   I’m talking covered from head to toe and even down my throat.   Shots and steroids were given for what we thought was an allergic reaction….but to what?!   So, I went off meds and started adding one at a time—NOTHING!   Who knows what the cause was.   So, I go for my SimponiAria infusion in October and a couple days later…BAM covered again!   Shots and steroids and NO MORE SimponiAria. This has to be the cause.   Granted I do NOT want to be COVERED in hives again, but this was the LAST TNF for me!   I’ve been through all that are AS approved.   This did not make me happy, be...
