Weekly Regimen

14 Sulfasalazine
+ 7 Meloxicam
+ 6 Methotrexate
+ 1weekly injection of Enbrel
= 1 week of medication!

So far, the first three medications I have been on hasn't made a dent...unless you count some of the side affects! But I have done 2 Enbrel injections (tube looking thing that is a "Sureclick" needle, which is much safer with little kids around than a syringe!) and can feel some difference. Not 100% yet, but some improvement. Cross your fingers kids that we've found the right pharmaceutical cocktail! I feel like I will be glowing green and should wear a bio-hazard sign!

Do you have rheumatoid arthritis??

Yup. Found out while I was pregnant with Brooklyn. (Also found out I have Ankylosing Spondylitis, a spine disorder which can lead to your vertebrae to fuse together.)
