A quick update before i get to the smushy stuff, im currently on 15mg Methotrexate and am suffering from a bit of nausea so they're considering switching me to injections which is fine.
They also gave me another lovely steroid injection to top up my tablets so pain was down... apart from my back terrible back pain the doctor cannot explain. Not to mention numb tingling limbs headaches and foggyness, fibro anyone?? Anyway i'm just paranoid.
More importantly I had two months of being single, lovely for soul searching and ended up defining myself as my disease. And it took a new love interest to change that. Because everything that was such a big part of me he doesnt see, he is so understanding about it and that's ever so good for my self esteem. I feel like i am a young girl having fun and i laugh all the time.
Because i am
And i shouldn't have to point that out as something unusual.
My new years resolution must be to never lose myself in this disease.
I have been following all your shareposts and shall also resolve to respond and be more active here!
Hope everyone's okay

Congratulations! On the meds working and the new persepctive. It's easy to get lost in the disease and sometimes, it takes someone almost literally pulling you out of it to realize that you are so much more. I'm so glad you found someone who sees the real you.
