Hello There! It's been a wonderful week, and I thought it time to update my blog before I call it a night and curl up for sleep.
Firstly, my flare up continues to make my life difficult and I found out the medicine I'm on for my condition has possible side affects that are identical to the symptoms it is supposed to be reliving me of.... I like my doctor and told him I would try an increase from 6 400mg tablets a day to 12 400mg tablets a day. 4800mg a day with this medicine and although i have noticed a slight difference in things that are good, there are a lot of problems that are more intense. After reading the info on this drug and thinking about it, I know understand why I've got pain in my chest, abdomen, joints, heart burn, and a whole long list of things. I always thought medicines were designed to treat symptoms not intensify them but apparently I'm wrong on that.
After one more week if things don't improve I'm going back to see Dr. J and I'm just going to have him give me the freaking injectable and call it a day. The thought of sticking myself every two weeks with this stuff is not all that appealing but if that's what it takes to start feeling like I"m living instead of just existing I'm all for it. The injectable is called Humira, and it seems like a very good option.
On to happier things now that I'm done ranting :) First and formost Jess and I are official. I am officially off the market. I'm taken and very very very happy about it! I made it official on Tuesday, June 24th 2008! She seriously makes me happier than I've ever known and being around her makes me feel sooo good and safe and strong-it feels better than playing music, scary thought huh? I can definitely see this going someplace amazing and I cannot wait to see what the future has in store for us and this incredible relationship :D!
Got an XM portable tuner and it's pretty freaking sweet! I can listen to my cubbies at work now :D and I know the guys around the office are going to appreciate hearing the game while they are in!
Speaking of Cubs: SWEEP! Now what White Sox fans? Win the world series once and you all act like the Sox are these incredible ball players. That happened 3 years ago now and you guys can't do it again..... It's our turn this year!
Eric and I went to our first night game at Wrigley Wednesday night and it was a blast! They won against Baltimore 7-4. In the words of my brother "Baltimore Sucks!" WOOT GO CUBS! The plan is to attend some more home games in the near future and get some people to go with us. Let me know if you want to and we'll get something going :D
In Eric's news: He had an interview today with the FAA over the phone! Lucky duck doesn't even have to get dressed for his interviews I simply could not believe it-but I am so very happy for him and hope very much that he gets the job!
end of line.
