I survived!

I survived my daughters wedding! It was iffy for the latter part of the day for sure. We had 75 people come out and of course it was an outside wedding it was a toasty 90 degree day :) My daughter was beautiful of course and everything went well. However, I guess I just tried to forget I had RA for the day and just be Mom. I don't think I'll make that mistake again anytime soon.

Oh and I had insisted on keeping my oldest granddaughter who is 3 overnight so they could go on their honeymoon. What was I thinking? By the time the last guest left at 10:30 pm, I had been going full speed since 7am and I was done. My feet and ankles were huge and throbbed in such a manner I had to check and make sure they weren't doing like cartoon feet lol! The fatigue was unlike anything I had felt before. I was almost frightened by the intensity of it. I haven't used that many spoons in a really long time. My granddaughter was awesome though and willing to lay with me and watch Baby Einstein on TV. Thank you Dish lol!

The next day was a nightmare, in fact the next three are a blur of agony and fatigue. Then it was time to drive to Dallas to see the Dr and of course I felt much better by then...but we did figure out my meds (Enbrel/MTX) were not working anymore so now I have to try Humira. Doesn't he know it took me three years to get up the courage to try Enbrel?? Geez... So, roll the dice again with a new biologic or suffer endlessly. The MTX sucks period. Nothing will make that better, but it's safest, but really that's not saying much is it? And guess what? You need to take it with all the biologics or you build up antibodies to them and they don't work. Oh, now you tell me after two years of Enbrel working like a dream alone. Quality VS Quantity../sigh. Yay.
