Thanks for the thought but yes, I've been tested for lymes three times in the last year and it always negative.

I know there are many children out there that need good homes. I hope as soon as I am feeling better we will be able to start the process with the home study. I really don't care what race or gender but I don't believe I am capable of handling a mentally challanged child. I hope thats the pc way to put it?
Right now, I need to concentrate on me. The rheumy today said that all hope might not be lost if we can get this under control however, I m not getting my hopes up.

Thanks Jen, we talked about pain control and for now, we are sticking to the vicodin. She is hopeful the mtx will get things under control before too long and I won't need long term pain management. If that turns out not to be the case, I would be on oxyocodone twice a day but she wants to wait to start that as a last resort kind of thing. I'm ok with that as I'd rather not need the pain pills but I've got to get over this flare first!

Surrogates are actually illegal in the state of Michigan. I don't have any friends willing to do that and even so, we wouldn't be able to pay the medical bills and health insurance wouldn't cover the in vitro or prenatal visits.
Out of country adoptions are usually about the same price but you do have a better chance of getting a younger baby. I don't care what gender or race but I would want a healthy child.

I have been buried between the kids (football, band, volunteering at school), work, a new business, church and hubby! Work has picked up a bit as well...I peek in every once in a blue moon. I miss you!

You've had to make some truly tough decisions regarding your health, and I'm very sorry you have had to at 36.
The actuality of not being able to support a pregnancy is very disheartening. I know, I can't have natural babies either. It is almost like you aren't a real woman. I deeply feel for you, for the empty feeling you must have inside. Even though we had decided not to have children before I found out I can't, I still feel like I'm a let-down. My mom wants more than 1 grandson to spoil. My grandma and papa long for more great-grandkids too. I know what it's like when everyone asks you when you plan to have kids. I get it all the time, especially now that we're legally married. I haven't anything to console you, but I know how you feel.
I hope that if the dr. suggests the methotrexate, that it is the magic wand you so desperately need. And I hope a miracle happens and you have no side affects, only healing.
On adoption: I often think of it myself. Everyday probably. I have two friends who have adopted from overseas - China and Russia. Their children are wonderful, loving, and despite having poor infancies healthwise, are thriving in their adolescence now. I would do it, if Thomas wanted a child. I'm actually, self-admittedly, selfish. As much as I want a child, I don't want a child. But I would do it. I would adopt a child - after all, all a child wants is to be loved.
I wish I knew the right thing to say to comfort you in all of this. As always, I wish you a good, pain free day, one in which you can button your shirt, tie your laces and brush your own hair.
