OK, so I started the infusions about 1 and 1/2 months ago and all seems to be going. That's it , just going. I have no side effects, no allergic reactions and it really feels almost like a spa day at the infusion center. But......I feel worse than I did when they started. more joint pain, more fatigue, more stiffness. I understand that right now I'm probably just having a horrible flare up - but that doesn't make me feel much better.

Today at the infusion appointment, I was prescribed more prednison, a higher dose of MTX and a shot of Depo - Medrol. Oh what fun it is! Having a hard time "keeping my head up". Usually angry at my husband, mostly for being the healthy one (who would be angry at someone for being healthy? ME, that's who!)

I'm hoping to wake up tomorrow with a brand new lease on life and on the right side of the bed, otherwise, I'll have to send the boy and the husband away for the weekend so that I can have my very own pity party.....
