Change of Plans

Not being found of the idea of getting a weekly shot, I called my insurance copany and prescription coverage and found I don't need to try Enbrel before getting Rituxan. I've had Rituxan before and it an IV infusion every six months. Both have plan to help with prescription co-pays as well.

I called my doctor and yesterday she agreed to set me up with Rituxan. Now I'm just waiting for when. Thankfully I work for a very awsome company now with great insurance that has an out of pocket cap, I know that I will easily met that cap.. just gotta work on paying on that cap to keep a float.

Right now my hands are very swollen and hurt, although I shouldn't type right now I wanted to share.

Broken bones with RA

I have oftened wondered what affact RA ia going to have on healing a broken bone. Just my luck, I get to find out 1st hand. On January 4th. I went to a birthday party with the kids and was sorta talked into skating. Now I have skated before but just got an ankle brace and have issues with my feet, but I still had to try. I was a little wobbly but quickly skating came back and then my 12 year old fell on the right side of me. I did notice fast enough as I was talking with my 15 year old son, teasing him about tring to skate backwords. So I saw the yongest leg and bumped his skate as I lifted my right leg to miss him. I just couldn't balance long enough on the left foot and fell. Now it wasn't painful when I fell, but moving my arm hurt. Something was off but I continued skating. As time moved on and the swelling set in my arm got worse. I used the arm to stop my self at the wall as I was getting off the floor and it was very painful. My arm would not extend all the way and m

Feets, Foots, and Toesy

 Me and my husband  I went to the Podiatrist on Friday. No surprise, he said I complicated. He sure got that 100% right. Good news there is no erosion signs from my RA. Then he used several larger words that I didn’t quiet catch or understand. He explained that when I walk on my right foot I’m actually walking on the right side of my foot. (I’ve been paying more attention and he is right) I have an appointment on December 6 to have a brace made for my right foot and ankle. They are also making new insert for my shoes. I have insert already but this insert will go almost the whole foot where the ones I have now only do half. Hopefully this will help reduce the foot pain I go through. Right now I can stand twenty minutes before my feet really start to hurt and soon after that I just have to get off of them. Not a person to allow my issues to stop me, I use my wheelchair at that point to continue on. The Podiatrist surprised me a little when he asked me if I had handicap tag,
