I felt like crap the last couple of days, I over did it Sunday and Monday with the flea business we had!  I had also tried to decrease my steroids. Bad move. I ended up going home at 2 yesterday and I'm barely functioning today.
Talked to the rheumy. She had 30 calls the last 2 days, I guess early fall and late February are the big times for flare up. We discussed my IBD testing, which was negative. So, apparently no crohns. However, the humira injections are helping my D. We decided I need to go all the way up to 30mg a day on the steroids for a week, than I can start to taper down. I'm SO not happy about that. I'm sure its going to be good for at least a 10pound weight gain and a facial wax!  
I'm babysitting the office but only doing the bare minimum. I brought my heating pads, pain patches and a big bottle of vicodin. We have plans to go to the Ren Fen this weekend and its the last weekend so no rescheduling. Please send me some good healing thoughts. I'm walking around the office in slippers because my feet are to swollen for shoes and both hands are wrapped in wrists braces. NOT making any good fashion statements today but hey, I'm here. The rheumy said we are back to the serum negative ra diagnoses but is a bit confused as to why the humira is helping my D. I put a call into the crohns guy to see if I should keep my appt Oct 6th or not, still haven't heard back from him.
