| Would agree on the winter but i am in supposely too hot and sunny
Floridaland. Oh, and thanks Northerners for the extra puff of winter cool.
I only wish I was able to have fun and play in my garden but am sick, sick,
sick again.
Oh, and KCat, the meds i am on... Lord, if they make 'em, i take them.
Asthma stuff. Thankfully, I have not had to have a burst dose of prednisone
for a while, but tell you what, I am about ready to volunteer for one now!
I am going to ask my lady doc about that skin creme. Heaven knows i tried
most of all of them.
Hey, and someone told me it is no longer good to use Elidel? Is this so. I
come and go from here but in the past few days I am back to being sick.
Maybe it is what i believe to be the "outter" yeast infection spurring the
flare. Doc wanted to up me to 10mg Methotrexate and I am not so happy about
it. Anyone here taking 10mgs or over?
Shelaugh... maybe we are twins. I am thinking about replacing my skin with
rawhide.
Doc told me i was drinking TOO MUCH water and was why my ankles were
swelling again. He said I am not able to process all the fluids so quickly.
Now anyone every hear of drinking too much fluid!??! That sure was a new
one on me... but it seemed to be the truth. I try not to go over a gallon a
day now.
Thank you to whoever it was who suggested the antifungal yeast infection
creme. I finally got some relief. Now if only theautoimmune crap would
settle down again!!
Always,
