I had sort of forgotten that I'd planned to keep a record of how my progress with my new medications was coming along. Whoops!
Some brief notes for you.
I'm still sore sometimes, and still on prednisone (but only 4mg/day!). BUT - Many days I forget that I have arthritis. We went to the PNE on Sunday, and were walking around for 6 hours, and by the end of the day I was wet, cold and tired, but not sore at all!
Work is interesting sometimes. The kids know that some days I'm sore, and some days they can't hang off my body. I think it's a good lesson for them, too. To learn that people have their own boundaries, and one can't exactly jump all over them.
Tim is, as always, awesome. Since we've bought our townhouse, he's been even more supportive. He reminds me not to work too hard, and fetches things for me when I have.
Speaking of townhouse, it does have stairs. I thought that it would be alright, but I have noticed my legs aren't such fans of the stairs. I try to balance it out by using them as little as possible.
I'm coming up due for my... 4th? 5th? infusion... I've lost count! But I'm used to them now, and actually enjoy an excuse to take the whole day off from any work :)
