Oh Mandy, that's horrible you have to have test done again! Especially when with a prep like that! Hugzzz!
Well, I'm "stressed and radiated". (Had the stress test with nuclear something or other to show heart in specialized x-ray of some sort, don't understand how it all works.) Had to have chemical injection to increase heart rate more because of mobility issues, but heart was already racing from, per orders, lack of heart meds yesterday. Can feel my heart pounding in my neck right now. Going to go sleep it off. I'll be back and win later.
Good luck with surgery Ron.
 
Aw Sandy...hope all this stress of the tests comes up with something that can be of help to you hun. you sure deserve a break..Fingers crossed for you 💞💞
 
Sandy, I might call the doctor if I were you, that sounds scary. I remember my grandpa had a stress test like that a couple years ago, where they gave him an injection because he was not physically capable of running on the treadmill (he was in a wheelchair the last few years of his life). His heart did not like the injection at all, and they had to give him some other injection to calm his heart down again. I don't know more details than that, but surely they could give you that other injection to calm things down?
 
That made my day to hear you say what your son said Ron. And I'm now almost normal heart rate, so winning. I also think because I effectively (in heart beats) ran a marathon today, I'm the first one across the line for Carol's marathon. Reinforces the winning status.:emot-q:
 
Trysha, someone will carry you if they have to, but you're going to be running circles around everyone else soon.
 
Cat, I would have asked for that injection if I had still been there when feeling so poorly, but was actually ok, but tired, there. By that time Doug dropped me off and had gone to work for the afternoon (he had an audit he was in charge of/doing so also would have been hard to reach), and between heart beats that actually got faster when home and my narcolepsy, all I could do was sleep between (sigh) trips to the bathroom with, of course, diarrhea and cramping. I also knew I just needed to give my heart meds time to take effect, but since the one is extended release, it would take time. Much better now. Thank you all for your concern. I never want to do that again.
 
Ron.we'll all be thinking of you,and you'll be back home before you know it...hugs.

Sandy,there will be a drugs test before the race,but by the sound of you all it looks like I will be running solo.We could do a special druggie race though,to see who's is working the best...going down the coast with little blackie,back later.
 
Good luck today, Ron!

Sandy, glad you're feeling better. And congrats on winning our marathon! ;)

Mandy, in a way I'm glad we're scan buddies, that makes me feel a bit less anxious about my scan knowing that you're having one too (but it's obviously not good that we both have to go through this). Hopefully we can both drink the awful stuff without any issue. We've just got to get this over with!

Carol, does pred count as a performance enhancing drug? Ha ha.

Well,I know they're not anabolic,but steroids are steroids and you wouldn't pass the Olympic medical.........:rof::rof::rof:
 
Ok, I can't be the one that killed Carol's marathon. That was just a warm up for me, and Cat (and others on steroids), you have time to get off them. Everyone else, you also have time to get healthy. Ron, hope your recovering well from your surgery right now. Tony and Trysha, your recent surgeries are no excuse.:hug: All upcoming scans will be proven to have reversed any disease process. Training starts now. And so does dreaming about the Christmas party and all the wonderful food that everyone will be able to eat, with only good consequences to weight and health...
 
I would love to get off the steroids! Sometimes my body has other opinions, though (and those times all seem to coincide with when I try to taper below 10 mg). I'll definitely try my best to get off of them. Hopefully once my GI prescribes me LDN, that'll help me heal and I can get off the pred for good. GI emailed yesterday to say he's looking into how specifically to prescribe me LDN (I think I'm his first LDN patient which is exciting!). So I should be starting that really soon, hopefully.

Then I can run the marathon, just as long as LDN isn't also a performance enhancing drug... ;)
 
Well scan buddie the prep itself wasnt too bad last time,it was the amount to drink in 45 mins... im lucky to drink a litre all day lol. Ye at least we are doing it together ish hun. 💕

Sandy i dont av steriods at the mo so please can i shove a rocket up my backside so i can compete :rof:
 
Training for the London marathon starts first week in January,so you can all merrily stuff your faces at Thanksgiving and Christmas.I of course will continue with my healthy eating except for choccie,and I will be cycling if weather permits so if you want to back out now......... no chance !!!



Trysha I'm (we're) starting to worry now.:ghug: Dave same goes for you,let's know everything's OK.
 
AAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!! I hate incompetent dr's offices, who tell you they have the prior authorization for weekly Humira, when it really has not been approved. And I hate INSURANCE COMPANIES who think they can play doctor! They are denying the move to weekly HUMIRA. I really don't need this stress on top of my flare, Sandy's heart problems, and everything else going on.

OK, Vent over. Winning.
 
Aw Doug so sorry your having to deal with idiots. Like you or Sandy need any more stresses. Big hugs n loves to u both. 💞💝💕💖:ghug:.
Back to u winning Doug (as my comment dont count)
 
Mandy, I'm not sure what I'm going to have to drink at my scan, they haven't told me! Eek! Maybe it's better not to know? All they said was that I have to go NPO for 4 hours prior to my appointment. My appointment is at 1 PM on Dec 2nd, so that means at 9 AM that day I have to stop eating and drinking. I predict I will be guzzling about a gallon of water at 8:59 AM that day...

Ugh, I just looked at my hospital's website and brought up their page about MR-enterography. It says I have to drink something called Volumen, but it doesn't say how much. It says I have an hour to drink the allotted amount and that it "may cause some diarrhea". Um, yeah, that's pretty much a given for me! I will be wearing an incontinence pad because I'm sure it's going to go right through me. Going to bring a change of pants and underwear and wipes and plastic bags too. Fun.

Doug, that stinks! Can your doctor contact the insurance company and explain to them the situation? My doctor has done that at least once in the past, he can appeal to my insurance if they deny anything. I've also appealed to my insurance company although that takes forever. At any rate, good luck, I hope you can get this worked out quickly and get your Humira!

I talked to the Dr's office this morning also. They told me they have talked to the insurance company and will get them the information the insurance company has requested. While this was all going on this morning, I got a call from Acreedo (the specialty pharmacy) about refilling my old prescription (only 2 pens every 28 days). I told them to refill it, and they will get it to me by next Tuesday (Jab Day). I am actually out of medicine at this point because I am already injecting weekly. Dr's office will provide me with samples in the meantime, if need be.

Yep, all you want, Ron. Gotta go for now, want to stay here with my fav people, but can't right now. Hugs to all.
 
Cat i think its just another name for the cr*p we have to drink lol...oh well we can do it hun..shame we have to tho.😕💕
 
Trysha, just say hi.
So. Thank goodness thanksgiving day over. Was nice to see my brother and niece. Thankful Doug drove and for Doug. And dog.
The end.
 
It's a lovely sparkly day here...going for a walk to the park.Have cleaned the oven so it's take- aways and sandwiches 'til the "festive"season.Just about to cut hubbys hair and I have warned him it will need doing again before santa comes.He hates his hair cutting but his caps are getting tight.I'm not kidding.....A bit to frosty for the bikes today,but we've been out 3 times this week,so I happy with that.
Hope everyone who overdid it on thanksgiving aren't having digestive problems. hugs.
 
We went to my son's place for Thanksgiving and his girlfriend introduced us to ginger candy which they say is good when you have stomach trouble. It tastes good.
 
Hope those celebrating thanksgiving had a great day.. and no suffering for it.
Carol iv just had my hair cut the other day, i was looking like a mop on legs haha ☺
Big hugs to all n lots of love. 💕💕
 
I love ginger tea! Very easy on my belly and basically the only type of tea I'm allowed right now (can't have caffeine so have to do herbal, chamomile is not low-FODMAP, and mint/peppermint is not allowed with my GERD, so ginger it is).

I had a horrible migraine all night on Wednesday night and didn't sleep well at all and had a lot of head pain and some nausea, so thanksgiving was a bit difficult. I got to visit my grandma though, which was lovely. She was so happy to see me and I even brought my dog to visit with her (she loves my dog). And my in-laws fortunately did not bring up politics at all! I didn't over-eat, in fact I lost 2 lbs because I barely ate at all (that must be a new record, I'm on pred and it was thanksgiving and somehow I lost weight instead of gained!). I'm doing a bit better today - there's still some head pain, but I managed to get my xmas tree up this morning. That feels like a win. :)
 
Aw Cat sorry you had a bad head hun . Glad its feeling better now. Aw how lovely you took your dog.. bet she got lots of cuddles ☺.
Hope you feel much better very soon. 💕
 
Sorry about the headache Cat, and hope you are doing ok aft your surgery Ron. Carol, Doug's off to get his hair cut right now, lol. Kirsty, thought of you as we apparently had a small earthquake this morning, but I was still asleep and didn't feel it. It was only a 3.2. I'm still trying not to be grouchy, having a heck of a time at it. Night before TG ended up back at ER, heart starting to race even more and low oxygen stats, was very wobbly and not thinking clearly. Under control again. Feel like something is going on they aren't catching with heart though. (Low oxygen from fast heart can explain the rest. ) Talking to my mother on the phone yesterday, she did melt my little heart with something nice she said however (and not like her, but heartfelt). 😊 Probably should clean my oven myself (it's not hard with a "self cleaning" oven), but will probably go with Doug to a movie instead. We are also getting new flooring in part if our house before Christmas. YAY! Have had sample here we need to bring back today also. My sister had a bad fall while outside her trailer night before TG (same night I went to ER she did too). Group of my family was camping in Arizona, and she was lucky to be found after calling out (by one of my zillion nieces who had her own trailer, my sis was staying alone in her trailer with hubby who is not all there due to stroke). She could have stayed there all night because everyone had gone to bed, but niece decided to check that the campfire was still going out one more time (in contained fire pit in freezing temps. Niece has a fire paranoia, luckily). Temps, as said, were below freezing and Sue (my sis) hit her head and broke her arm badly and couldn't get up. Will need surgery on her arm.
I should be thankful things weren't worse, maybe I'll use Cat's method of cheering self up and go buy something.
 
Oh my gosh Sandy, don't follow my example today of all days! I told myself I wasn't going to buy anything today, not going to spend any money. Welllll, then I realized I really should take my car in to the mechanic "real quick" to get that squeaking sound checked out. It apparently was quite a bad squeak. Turns out my back brakes were almost down to nothing, so my car needed new shoes (cars have shoes?) and new brake housing and new brake lines in the back as one was leaking and the other was about to disintegrate. Fun! That was almost $600 worth of repairs. So, do NOT follow my example today, do not spend that much money! (Unless it's absolutely necessary like mine was, can't really drive a car if it doesn't have working brakes so I consider today's expenditure to be a necessity!)
 
Car expenditures are always wayyyyyyy up there these days. If it weren't for the fact that they are a necessity around our area, I wouldn't have one. it's also a necessity with Doug's job, but not as not as necessary as a few years ago. The only money spent today was on a movie (but that is enough) and our normal stuff (like prescriptions). The flooring company is coming to measure our floors in the morning, however, and the new floors will cost a pretty penny, but we really need it, where we don't have carpet. Very excited about that.
 
Hey Cat ouch that was a bit of a whammy on the car front hun.my car brakes squeal when i put them on ...was told it was probably just dirt on the brake pads. Sure hope it is not that they are worn out. Tho they should have been checked pre my buying it so that shouldnt be the case..💕
Blimey Sandy what a nightmare time your having. I really hope things settle down quickly hun. Try and rest up and think about lovely happy thoughts 💕💕
 
I agree with Mandy,what an awful time you and yours are having.You must wonder "what next?" I wish they could sort your health problems out Sandy,it's so worrying.
If you like you can back out of the marathon???
Cat,it's a good job you had those brakes checked.The bill is a small price to pay for safety.
Glad your visit with gran went well.I know you too are feeling poorly,so I hope it passes quickly.You probably wont get out for your walk today.

SIGN IN A CAFES WINDOW......Don't stand out there feeling miserable and hungry,come inside and get fed up...
 
I am finally feeling mostly better today. The migraine "only" stuck around for a couple days this time, it was a short but intense one (they've been known to stick around as long as 5 days for me, so it could have been worse).

And actually Carol, I'm just planning where to go for a walk today! :) There's a really nice off-leash dog park one town over, with wooded hiking paths but no hunting allowed (it's deer hunting season here right now so walking in the woods can get a bit tricky). So I'm going to take Lily out there for a walk, it's nice weather and I'm feeling like I can do a hike today.

Mandy, in my experience, squeaking brakes could just mean they're dirty/wet/not quite in their housing properly - or, it could mean they're in dire need of replacing, like what I just dealt with. Probably better safe than sorry, get them checked out to be sure. Your car is quite new, so I would imagine they probably don't need to be replaced just yet and maybe just need adjusting or something like that (I don't know a lot about cars so I'm probably not using the right terminology!). That's the fun thing about cars, they're always needing maintenance or looking at or work done on them. Especially older cars like mine. I am hoping my car lasts a bit longer, I'd really like to pay off some doctor bills and credit card debt before I buy a new car and add that expense to my pile of debts...
 
It's infusion day today. Huge fiasco with the systems at the hospital, so they started an hour late. By the time S started remicade, it was late by 2 hrs. I am going out of my mind sitting here, and our lunch is clearly getting delayed :(
 
Hi Cat. Ye iv been looking up squeaky brakes and some of what you said could apply. The stop me really well but i will have to get my dearlship to have a check asap. Glad you feel much better hun. 💕💕

Madhu.. aw isnt it a pain when you get held up at hospitals, when you dont even want to be there in the 1st place 😕. 💕💕

Ron hope your doing ok after your surgery . 💕💕

Carol love the cafe sign :rof:. Hope you are well hun. 💕💕

Sandy hope your feeling better and you have been chilling out and resting 💕💕

Trysha hope your doing ok and things are improving for you. 💕💕

Kirsty how are you. Hope you are well.💕💕
 
Ah well in that case maybe for peace of mind, give your doctor a ring and check if it should or should not be occurring. Best to check if you feel a bit worried Ron.💕💕
 
I hope it's ok too, Ron. If I were to take a guess about the brakes, Mandy, I would guess like you were originally told, that it's dust in the lines since your brakes seem to work well, but like you told Ron about his leg, if you have any concern, you might want to get it checked out, yes, better safe than sorry. And Madhu, like Mandy said (and everyone feels, I'm sure) I'm really sorry you were held up at the hospital as well. One extra minute in that place is one minute too long. That is definitely my least favorite place at present (or anytime). At my recent ER trip I'm surprised they let me go, looking back, because my oxygen levels were below normal while there and I was on oxygen the whole time, (including up to the second when discharged) but I'm still glad I didn't have to stay. And I did feel better by the time I left (probably the ativan :biggrin:). At least my heart rate was down to under 100 again. And yes, lovely Carol, I'm glad to be "exempted" from the marathon. And yes, I do keep wondering what can happen next. Before I had more rest this morning I would have said that I would guess the next thing to happen would be that I get hit by lightening for some not very nice thoughts I was having. And poor Doug had to deal with a not very nice me. Sleep helped though. Have a lovely night/day whatever it is for all of you.
 
Thanks :) it kinda consumed our whole day but we are back home now. Hope you guys are doing ok. Lazy Sunday ahead :D
 
Kirsty,Trysha,DaveI'm (we're) getting concerned.I hope you're all ok but you're conspicuous by your absence.I hope you're off on a cruise somewhere nice,rather than the alternative !!! :ghug:

Sandy...you accepted that back out offer far to quickly.You've got at least a month before training starts.!!!

Going for a walk through the park to the Sunday craft market,Sandy and Cat would love it.The arty-farty does nothing for me as you know,but I'm always amazed at peoples imagination.There are lots of books to browse,so I'll be happy.... then a lazy afternoon gazing into space,between reading the papers.

Enjoy your day all of you.x
 
I'm around [emoji3] just picked up more work so been busy last week. Spending time with Steve over weekend as he's away all week again for work down south.
 
Spent the day with Jaxon..love it when he chuckles at my daft antics n voices 😆
He is trying to hold his own bottle now but usualy its more luck than management 😃

Hope you all have had a good day/night.
Lots of love n best wishes to you all 💖💕💋💋
 
My ace bandage has come off three times since going to the ER yesterday. After the ER, i stopped to get some dinner and the lady gave it to us for free.🤗
 
I've been playing with my genealogy today, and found I can trace some ancestry clear back to the ninth century!!!! I also discovered I have some French, Norwegian and even Italian ancestry. I would have never guessed the Italian ancestry in a million years. I knew I had a lot of ancestry from Denmark (by far the majority) and England (not far behind Denmark, including from Lancaster, Mandy!), not really surprised about the French, but the rest was a total surprise. I hate to admit this (sorry if I offended anyone because I am not a fan), but awhile back I also found I was ninth cousin to Barak Obama. That disappointed me. Not even a ninth cousin once removed, but a plain ol ninth cousin. (I couldn't tell you the connection, just know I ran a genealogy program that did calculations to famous people and it told me that relation, along with a couple of distant ties to founding fathers of the US and some ties to well known Utahns of recent years. I can't remember the name of the program anymore, though know it is one that is very reputable, and has been used by several famous Americans, as well as a lot of us peasants.
Think I'm going to get a migraine, going to go rest my eyes that are starting to see splotchy (a sign of possible upcoming headache, but so far the headache part itself is not here. Knock on wood.) Talk at ya all later.

Sorry on the bandage Ron what a pain...
Hey you dont do bad on the free meals do you ☺ nice one Ron 💕
 
Sandy well i am sure thats been fasiniating to research. My mum has done a bit but i cant remember now what she found out ..
Lancaster is about 50 miles from me but that quite a close link. You never know a bit more digging n we may have a connection yet hun ☺
Hope the migraine hasnt surfaced fully 💕💕
 
Sandy, my mother has done a ton of research on our genealogy as well. We can trace ourselves back to a few Mayflower pilgrims, that's been fascinating to learn about. Those particular Mayflower pilgrims that we descend from, they had 10 children, all of whom lived to adulthood and had children of their own, which was unheard of in the 1600s! Especially at Plymouth Rock where the mortality rate was quite high. So as a result, those particular pilgrims have many thousands of living descendants today and there are websites showing what famous people descended from them. So, I can say that Alec Baldwin and Christopher Lloyd are very, very distant cousins of mine because we all came from the same Mayflower pilgrims. :p

Ron, I hope none of us have to see the ER for a very long time! Hope you're doing better.

Sandy and I have started operation avoid the ER. Let's hope we can pull this off for a long long time. May everybody here join us in the effort.
 
Oooo, pretty snow. (And yes, the patio furniture is all put away.)
Collage%202016-11-28%2013_15_10-1_zpscllvmsji.jpg
 
Very pretty but keep it away from me for awhile! :p I don't want the "s" word here any sooner than necessary.
 
Thanks Ron, a win tonight would be nice! We've lost 4 in a row now so I'm pretty sure we're due for a win already.

Mandy, are you dreading the scan as much as I am? I keep buying myself presents to make myself feel better about it. :p So far I've got a new scarf (it has pockets!), a new stuffed animal toy (it's a tiny fox and it's sooo cute), a new lego set (to put together after the scan is over with, a gift to myself for getting through the scan), and some cute new slippers to wear during the scan (they look like fuzzy white lambs and have hard grippy soles, perfect for wandering around the hospital in). Maybe if I just keep buying myself presents then the scan won't be so bad (heck, the scan will be fine, it's drinking the icky stuff and possibly crapping myself that I'm really dreading).
 
I'm trying to keep the snow away from you Cat, but I don't have very much pull over the weather department, LOL. I do understand however, that this storm is not headed your direction, but I have no idea what your forecast is. I have to go driving in just a few minutes out with all the crazy people on the still slippery roads, but not going very far, thank goodness. I was shoveling snow earlier when I heard what I thought was a dog barking. After a bit I realized it was me, everytime I breathed in, I was making a squeaking sound from my lungs/bronchial area that almost sounded like a dog barking thanks to my asthma. I decided that was a sign to stop for a while, even though I was not feeling out of breath. I'm still waiting to see what the next thing to happen is going to be however. One thing that did happen is over the weekend is I got snippy on Facebook with a neighbor/friend who didn't read my post about my sister very well and said "I hope your mother starts to feel better after she gets to a doctor." Hello! I had just told how my sister had fallen while camping and hit her head and broke her arm bad enough that she couldn't get up and could have been left there all night in freezing temperatures. So I commented back, for all of Facebook land, that it was my sister, not my mom, and that of course she was taken to the ER that night, etc. I know I sounded snippy in the way I said it because I was angry at the time, with one of my pet peeves being that I am not listened to or invisible (especially by med professionals and my growing up in family unless they want something, but I hadn't told them, ie Facebook, about my two ER visits, etc.) I'm sure I alienated some people because this was a very sweet person I snapped at. I apologized back on the comments section of that post, but know things won't be the same between me and that person particularly. It's going to be awkward at church. I think it's time for me to stay away from Facebook for a while. I'm tired of the myriad of political comments anyway. My grouchiness continues but I do have good spots in there too.
Hope your scans go well, Mandy and Cat. Sorry I'm so self minded these days.
 
Haha i have some sheep slippers a friend bought me. Im thinking of taking them to the hospital. Yes the prep is the bad bit really. Tho i struggle with the scan itself as i have to lie on my stomach,which i find very uncomfortable and staying in one posistion for a half hour or more is pretty painful for my joints. So thats not easy for me which is why i think my last one was blurry... i must of been moving at some points as i was aching quite a bit 😕. Good luck with yours Cat 💕💕

Thanks Ron. ☺💕

Sandy,someone got a little too personal with me on Facebook. I unfriended that person.
 
I still like this person, we were both at fault. Just awkward, I'm sure she has misgivings about me now, because I didn't explain where anger was coming from (didn't want everyone to know about health and family problems). Will prob write a personal message when I have a chance.
 
Aw Sandy dont worry about the facebook post. Il bet theres been worse posted by others. If she takes offence tough she should have paid more attention to your post hun. . I know if id missed read or not paid proper notice of a post and was corrected. Id be apologising for my blunder.
Lifes to short to worry about that. 💕💕

Yay Mandy, we are scan buddies and sheep slipper buddies! :D Ha ha. I did see in my paperwork that it said I will have to lie on my stomach during the scan. That does not sound comfortable. It's like they purposely design these tests to make us feel worse! Here, drink a gallon of laxative and then lie still on your stomach for an hour! Ugh. No wonder your scan was blurry, it sounds so uncomfortable. I will make every effort to lie still because I know I won't want to go through all this again. Hopefully both of us will have clear scans and can put this behind us for awhile! (A long while!)

Sandy, oh no, I hate driving in snow, especially the first few snows of the year when everybody is driving like crazy and nobody has remembered yet how to drive in snow! Be safe, be careful! We're supposedly getting 1-3 inches of snow on Sunday, so we may get a bit of your storm after all. And I think snippiness is in the air right now because I'm in trouble too. My boss interpreted something I said in an email today as blaming her for something that went wrong at work (what I said was that I double checked everything and nothing went wrong on my end, so therefore it's possible that something did go wrong on her end) - I wasn't blaming her, but she interpreted it as that and now I'm in trouble. She's on vacation but is getting emails on her phone so I'm due for a talking-to when she gets back. Great.

Gotta stay positive though. Maybe the Packers will win tonight. :p And hubby is making me a tummy-friendly pizza for dinner (tomato slices instead of tomato sauce, and goat cheese which is friendly to my lactose intolerance). Yum!
 
I'm surprised Sandy did not say anything about this, but we are getting new flooring in our Kitchen, Dining Room, Sandy's Craft room, hall, and the front entry. The new laminate flooring, with a much better installation than our old floor, will look so much nicer! It is our big Christmas present to ourselves for this year.
 
Doug, I'm not sure if it was in this thread or a different one, but I do recall Sandy talking about new flooring. Congrats to you two on the flooring, home improvements always make me happy (when they're done!). Just tell me you're not hiring your teenage neighbor girls to do this job! ;)
 
No, professionals doing it, but had one of the two teenage neighbor girls cleaning for an hour today, the other one on Wednesday. Got my dishes done and carpet in livingroom vacuumed. And they are super cheap. I think that's a win:)
 
I've wanted pine interior doors fitted for a while,but I've just talked myself out of it.The thought of having people in the house for 2-3 days is not for me.Might get a new sofa for Les instead......I'm not a fan of Facebook at all.I was on it a few years back but I found it very intrusive and uneccessary.There's no one in my past life that I want to share things with,nor do I spend my time wondering about them,except fleetingly.
Too cold for the bikes today so we're going to a market town an hours drive away.The car needs a run out,
 
The Packers did indeed win! I unfortunately didn't get to watch any of the game because it was on ESPN and we don't have cable. :( So I was just checking score updates online periodically. It sounds like the Pack finally played really well! Hopefully they can keep that going.

Is anybody else utterly exhausted today? It's only Tuesday! I can't afford to be this tired this early in the week. I don't have any paid time off left for this year, but I have to leave work early on Friday for my MRE. So, I'm working 9 hour days until then instead of my usual 8 to make up the time, because I can't afford to lose that money. But it's completely exhausting me.
 
I was informed this morning by my insurance company they have denied my prescription for weekly Humira injections. They informed me they would approve Remicade, Entivyo, or Cimzia. I hate insurance companies playing doctor.
