Hi all! Been awhile I know. Life is so time consuming with the kids and docs and work. I have had surgery on my right hand finally. In philadelphia I had a large tumor and 3 smaller removed 6 weeks ago now. I am at PT 3 days a week trying to get my hand back to somewhere near what it was before. The good news is no cancer. It is believed that after the biopsy results that it is RA. They say rare white blood cell mass was removed from bone and tendons. They are not saying wegeners. Meanwhile Soloway has increased the methotrexate to 25mgs and 32mgs of moderl. He is also trying to get the insurance to ok remacaid? iv trans that I know helped my mother alot. I havea few older wonderful people that I work for who have RA and take the same meds I have been on for sometime. It has helped them but I keep progressing, The left hand isnt far behind the right. It feels like about 2 monthes behind the right. Hope I dont have to do it again but if it gets large like the right I will have to or I wont be able to use it and be in to much pain again. Lots of snap crackle and pop coming from all the joints latlely.
Found out ffrom the prim doc I was taking to much of the water pill and had very low blood preasure from it. The urol doc put me on the max of 50mgs to help washout the kidney stones but almost killed me in the process. Went to the prim doc after bad head rushes and coming very close to passing out and he caught it thank goodness. It was the headrush that lasted almost a full 60 seconds that scared me to the prim doc. Now I am back down to 10mgs and 20mgs everyother day. Thats all of the highlights I can think of at the moment.Hope everyone is well and feeling better. wish there was more time in the day so I could chat more often.I could use an extra day in the month too. Like november 31st, 32nd and 33rd.
