Where to start! The last two weeks have been crazy. Today marks the end to my first week of nursing school and I couldnt be happier. There were times over the last few months I did not think I would be well enough to attend nursing school. But, thanks to a great Rheumy here I am! It seemed like so long ago that I was anxiously waiting to hear where I was at on the Nursing school start list and when I would be able to begin my studies. Then the RA diagnosis........Things were changing so fast I had almost completely forgotten about nursing school. My hopes of starting were buried under a pile of pain and confusion.
Today, I am feeling great! 95%. The Enbrel has made a considerable difference. I am still not a fan of the injections, or the site reactions. However, that is a very small price to pay for the way I am feeling today. Pain is not totally gone. I have problems in my thumbs, a nodule of my foot still, pain in my muscle's some days, and just a few minor side effects from the meds. My Doctor called this week and said all my blood work up looked good ( except low D3) and I am starting to wean off the prednisone. My health is headed in the right direction!
Now, if someone could just tell me how to get past this finger pain so I don't fumble so much during school procedures and give me some motivation to start working out that would be very helpful:):):)
***I am working on some cool additions to the page and will be adding much new material next weekend***
Sorry for the delay in adding new material, there are just not enough hours in the day. Have a pain free weekend!!!
