Rheu'mom'toid: Enbrel and The Currant Bush
http://rheumomtoid.blogspot.com/2014/06/enbrel-and-currant-bush.html
Tuesday, June 17, 2014. Enbrel and The Currant Bush. Whelp, that didn't go quite as planned :) I started Enbrel today. I tried my best to avoid it: I have been following a gut healing program called the RepairVite Diet. The whole idea is very similar to the Whole30. Program. On top of this I was getting Immune Boost IV's twice a week. How could this not work? However, I baffled my doctors and immediately started flaring up? Too many new supplements? I still don't completely understand why I was given thi...

Confessions of an RA Superbitch: April 2011
http://rasuperbitch.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 12, 2011. A Dose of Reality. I guess it comes down to one thing. We all just want to see how other people are handling IT, the RA because for one thing, it gives us a barometer for how hopeful vs. how pathetic we sometimes feel. But also we want to see how others are handling IT in case we can learn from them. Please do not attempt to learn from the following conversation anything except that I too have moments of weakness:. Hubby: But that's ok because you get up. A Dose of Reality. RA Di...

Confessions of an RA Superbitch: March 2010
http://rasuperbitch.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 16, 2010. Sometimes These Things Just Happen. Well, since this is a place where I confess all my deepest secrets, I think it is only fitting that I mention that I am falling in love with my physical therapist. She is in her sixties, and I'm pretty sure she is married.to a man, and I've never had any lesbian tendencies before now. But all that aside.damn my knees feel good! Do you think she will have me? Monday, March 15, 2010. I figured out how we're going to do the book discussion (Yay!

Confessions of an RA Superbitch: Mary,Jesus & Joseph! Mamma had an epiphany, and its about time!
http://rasuperbitch.blogspot.com/2010/06/thank-lord.html
Saturday, June 5, 2010. Mary,Jesus and Joseph! Mamma had an epiphany, and its about time! And I also hate RA because it hinders me in SO many ways. Remember, before RA, I not only felt human, I felt that I was super-human. (How the mighty has fallen, huh? If someone gave me a list of tasks that would require the energy of four people, I would not only have 'em done in a day, but I would have added five more and had my hair done, and my outfits changed twice to boot. So here's where things got/get tricky&...

Rheu'mom'toid: July 2011
http://rheumomtoid.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 10, 2011. We got a puppy! My husband caved and we became owners of a morkie puppy (Maltese and Yorkie mix) Her name is Bella. House training a puppy is hard but house training a puppy with giarrdia is IMPOSSIBLE! Her name is Ursula.should I be nervous? They are making me into a better person. But what happens when they are grown and leave? Who am I then? And "just keep swimming, swimming, swimming" Things always work themselves out, right? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). An Attitude of Gratitude.

Rheu'mom'toid: September 2011
http://rheumomtoid.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 27, 2011. Things are good. I have had some incredible things happening in my life lately that I must share. Sorry for neglecting my blog all summer. BUSY! I have missed many of my blogging friends and have been thinking of you. With the kids back in school and somewhat of a fall schedule settling in, I turned to my blog roll one afternoon. I now have two kids in school, 1 in preschool and 1 baby who is still napping at that same time which equals 4 hours of me time a week! This time is...

Rheu'mom'toid: November 2010
http://rheumomtoid.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 24, 2010. I read a post by 'Single Gal' yesterday which has caused more contemplation than she probably ever intended. It is a great post! Am I thankful for my RA? It's been on my mind constantly. I've tried thinking of every possible angle to this question and no matter how I looked at it "NO WAY! Thankful for." My mind began racing with little details that I never would have listed on my thankful list if it were not for RA. 4 A normal bowel movement.too much info? 5 Weight gain....
