Hello Realpro 325, I'm a little late to the thread but let me say that it may take some time!
If its any consolation, If there are no negative results then that's good news! I have resigned to the fact that I am a life time pred user and for what its worth, I'm Fatigued every day, and since I have COPD as a result of the wegs and the kidneys took a hit as well as no taste or smell, I feel like I'm winning! What Im wining is not clear but it is a mindset that I have !
I gather that you have had some cancer with the chemo? As have I and never really recovered!
We only have the moment and I live in the moment and glad for each day, and pray to feel better tomorrow and get up and do it again!
Ritoxun should take effect but when it does it will take some time for it to get thru your system as the RA tells me that it hangs in the body for 3 to 4 months!
I have quit wondering if the drugs are working as long as I don't have what I believe is a flare or relapse!
The dimension of reality you speak of, I can understand! In my mind at times of rest, I feel like I could get up and do anything with out my oxygen but soon my reality is back! In my mind, I sometimes think the Dr's have misdiagnosed me, but Im reminded of the events that led me to the ER after being sick for so long!
I'm not a real religious person but have made up my mind that I have made peace with my god and Im in a good place in my life because I have done everything I could possibly do, like wanting to see the ocean with my wife and since mountain travel is out for me, I am okay with that and it wasn't meant to be!
So from me to you, hang in there fellow weggie and live life for the moment and to the fullest and feel free to plan and enjoy what you do and stay vigilant and tell the Dr's if you have problems!
You use the word irritated, I have a tendency to use frustrated! Unsure I would agree with! Good luck!
Nobody knows how we got to the top of the hill. But since were on the way down, we might as well enjoy the ride!
