I have not posted in a while and my how time has flown by. Before jumping back in I'll give an update. I'm still taking Humira weekly though I'm sad to say I don't know how much it's helped. I've only been able to get my prednisone dosage down to 3 mgs daily and I feel like I'll never be weaned off of it. Though as we all do with rheumatoid arthritis and other similar chronic illnesses, I manage. I've been very busy taking graduate classes in the evenings, the older kids have more going on than ever and the twins are walking and talking, a lot of fun but exhausting all the time!
I've had another health issue stemming from an abnormal pap, leading to a colposcopy and then a LEEP procedure a few weeks ago. I find out the results of that this coming week. On top of that I had some really bad stomach illness last week which had me nearly incapacitated for a couple days. Combined with the stress of the end of the semester with one exam, one presentation and two papers - led me right into a big RA flare. It was too much and I began to feel I was falling apart but as usual, I keep waking up all in one piece. So I keep plugging on....
