for Lauri, and for you, too Matthew. I do hope she finds some relief from the pain. I agree with Sharon, perhaps the gamma globulin might be a possibility....
thinking positive thoughts for you both!

Lauri had her appointment with her rheumatologist today. He did prescribe some pain medicine for her (Darvocet) to take along with the Bextra.

Bad thing about the appointment - he diagnosed her with Pleurisy. Yet another lovely disease that she has gotten because of the AOSD. Add that one to the Fibromyalgia and Acid Reflux.

He also prescribed some medicine to relieve some of the horrible swelling around her joints. He thinks that will relieve some of her pain and make it easier for her to walk.

Keep your fingers crossed!

That's great news guys! Keeping all appendages crossed.

Lauri, I am so sorry to hear that you have been feeling even worse lately. I know how bad some of your days have been in the past ..

I hope some of these new drugs help.
Hugs and prayers,
Kathi

I was really happy to her through the DIS grapevine
that you are feeling a little better.

When you have your next appt. ask them what
they think about :

Prednizone with a decrease as you go along
for 30 days

Plaquinil 200 mg each day

Something very small to help you sleep each
night (Sleep is sooooooo important).

See what your Dr. thinks. You never know.

This is what helped me out, the bextra did help
a little but not a huge difference. It just seems that
once you get one the other things just start popping
up because your resistance is so low.

You know you have SOOOOOO MUCH PIXIE DUST COMING
YOUR WAY and you keep a positive attitude (it is hard
work, but just take each day slowly) and you take
your time and with some rest hopefully this Dr will
get a grip and you can start to feel even better!!!!!

I look forward to seeing you post. Take care and have
a great weekend!!!!

Prayers and Pixie dust from the Parkhopper clan as well! I have a co-worker who was recently diagnosed with Pleurisy as well and she said that the only thing that helped even a little bit was prednisone (sp?) Please, please ask your doctor if there is anything else that can make you feel a little bit more comfortable.
