Typing really aggravates my hands so sorry about not posting to everyone individually.
I had a relatively good weekend. Did my shot Friday and boy does that stuff make me sick, nausous and throwing up. I have a girlfriend who is a doctor and she brought over some, um, well, not really legal green stuff to smoke and boy it really helped me get through the night.  I didn't throw up after that and wasn't nearly as sick feeling. SO, I guess I will start doing that Friday nights after I do my shot!  
I have been on the heavy duty mega dose of vitamins and started the lycria as well and Saturday, I felt relatively well. I mean the usual places still hurt and I was dizzy and would almost pass out if I stood up too quick and the shakes are still really bad but overall, not bad. I spent about 3 hours cleaning house but didn't get to taking down the x-mas decorations, so they will stay up another week. But, my bathroom was pretty gross so I hosed it down, actually got naked, climbed in the shower with a bucket of cleaner and went to town!! Well, I realized the bath matt was moldy so I throw it out.
I put some jeans on and headed out to buy a new bath matt. I drove by this hardware store by my house that is closing to see what was on sale. No bath matts but they had Dyson vacuums on sale, they never go on sale! I have wanted one for years, so, I flagged down a cute little boy working and asked him to carry it out for me! Had to put it on the credit card but oh well. Its the purple one, the top of the line with all the gadettes and gizmos!! 
Still needed a bath matt, so off to Target, boy was it busy! Got caught up in trying some cloths on, got some really comfy yoga pants and long sleeve t-shirt, some panties and tank tops, a new book, blah, blah, blah, bunch of stuff I really didn't have to have. Stood 20 minutes in check out, walk 2 miles to the car and realize DUH, I didn't buy the darn bath matt!  Crap, walk back into the store and 20 minutes later back at the car with the bath matt and a bag of cookies!
Got home and took a nice hot bubble bath. My tub is little so it wasn't as relaxing as I was hoping but my little Oliver sat next to the tub licking the bubbles and looking so darn cute. I would have dropped him in with me except we were expecting company for dinner in like 20 minutes!
My girlfriend and her boyfriend came over and Will cooked a great turkey roast and baked potatoes and steamed green beans, yummy! We just hung out for a bit and socialized. It was nice to feel well enough to entertain.
I know I over did it as Sunday I slept most of the day! I hurt but not as bad as usual, even after doing all that on Saturday! Today, I am a bit tired and my hand is screaming but otherwise everything is a dull roar instead of a SCREAM. I noticed my ankles are very swollen but the rheumy said that might happen with the lycria and it should pass in a week or so.
Mentally, I feel a lot better. I was feeling really suicidal there for a few weeks but now, I feel a bit renewed. I'm going to give it a few weeks and do some research. I don't know if I will wait the 6 weeks until I see the rheumy again before I make an appt with a neurologist or do it on my own. She never mentioned seeing one but if I do have neuropathy, I think that's who I need to see. Maybe Ill give the vitamins and lycria the 6 weeks and go from there. I'm still a bit overwhelmed with all the doctors and medical stuff so as long as I don't get any worse, I may just wait. I think I just need to chill, see what happens, recharge my batteries so to speak. While I was driving around Saturday, I was actually singing along with the radio! I am trying to stay positive and not let myself get so down as before. I realize this isn't going to be easy to battle but I think I will be ready for the fight soon. 
Thank you so much for every ones continued support through all this, it really has met the world to me! Love and hugs to all.
