New Meds

Well, I took the new meds about an hour ago. Feeling it now for sure. Hard to describe how it feels. Kinda reminds me of back in the day when I would smoke pot. Same kind of feeling. LOL If that's what this is going to do I think it would be cheaper to just smoke a joint. Probably less side effects for sure. We'll see how the night goes. Hopefully I will find sleep soon since I have to be at work at 7:30 a.m.

Today's Doctor Visit

Today I had an appointment with my family doctor. She has put me on Lyrica and Sertraline for my Fibromyalgia. I go back to see her in 3 weeks.

My current medications in addition to the above are:

• Enbrel sure-click injections weekly
• Methotrexate 3 pills weekly
• Folic Acid daily except for Enbrel injection day
• Weekly B12 injection
• Hydrocodone for pain
• a muscle relaxer
• Ambien as needed
• and Oxycodone when needed for kidney stone pain

I don't think I left anything out. I'll check later and update if I did.

Background Information

I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis in 2009. Since then I have also been diagnosed with Sjogren's Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. This blog will document my journey through these diseases as well as serve as a way for me to vent my anger and frustration at times :-)
