Six weeks new treatment

As of thursday I am now a full SIX weeks into our new treatment- Actemra, and its NICE to say we are finally seeing improvements. I was told SIX weeks was the turning mark for most people to start to see some improvements and THEY WERE RIGHT!!!   So hears to the number SIX!!

Here are top SIX things we notice now that we are SIX weeks along...
1. I can wiggle my toes EVERY morning
2. My morning stiffness is decreasing
3. No more fevers
4. I am only on one pain killer - not three
5. I can drive again
6. my heart is doing great!!


now here are the SIX not so fun things we are dealing with
1. a HORRIBLE focculitis rash
2. a fungal throat infection
3. mouth sores
4. really shaky hands
5. not sleeping all that well
6. looking at new deformities :(

now SIX things that are happening soon...
1. Start occupational therapy for hands
2. start physical therapy for my hips
3. start physical therapy for my knees
4. getting braces for my feet
5. seeing a oral surgeon about wisdom teeth issues
6. seeing ENT for ear infections and ear problems.

Hope everyone is doing well. I am happy for today I am wearing NORAML jeans.  Just like the little tank engine I am trucking along. ...
