Last day of classes for summer and this will determine whether or not I pass Calculus. I will manage one way or the other, but I'd rather not have to take this again. On another note I am getting ready for my trip out to Sacramento to see my brother and his wife next Wednesday. It will be a nice chance to get out of NM and perhaps create a WoW addict or two ::insert evil laughter here::. I finally had to break down and buy a replacement cane to travel with since my nice walking stick isn't allowed on the plane (spike on the end) I would just check it but I have a whrilwind walk once I get into LAX and I'm going to need a stick. So now I have a neat QUIET breakdown cane to replace the clicking-clanking one that I borrowed from my mother. Great fun. Went to Dr. ended up with more new meds and more checkups required, but they should stop my knees from being pseudo-useless and getting worse. Okay, time to go take a shower and then go feed puppies... perhaps I'll watch a movie and study for Calc at the same time...

I would have gladly loaned you a cane for the trip as I have several. The new one will probably be useful in the future though.

What are the new meds they gave you?

Plaquenil 400mg a day (the one that makes me get a vision screening every three months) another 5mg of Prednisone (15 total) and a pile more Folic Acid because my mouth has decided to declare war on me. Which leads me to an interesting predicament: Bubblegum flavored liquid Benadryl and a quick benzocaine stick really work well to force unhappy mouthes into submission.

As far as the cane goes it means that I have a telescoping one for outside and SCA'ish events because it is easier to dress up, while my travel one is great for plane trips or stuffing in a backpack. Also having two means that I can vary the way I have to hold on to it.
Besides... my new one is actually prett... as far a cane can go.

Gulp! Plaquenil at 400mg qd? Even with the list of stuff I have been on that would give me pause. Did you get a chance to ask about every other day prednisone? If a benzocaine stick is helpful to your mouth you might see if you can get a prescription for viscous lidocaine. Depending on the shape your mouth is in it may work wonders.

He is not putting me on e.o.d. Metho because after two and a half months it hasn't touched the arthritis, and as far as the Plaquenil goes, I will probably only be on that for about a month and a half to appease the Pres. insurance gods till I can switch to a biological med. (I've done my homework, but I still don't know much about the Plaquenil). My mouth seems to have calmed down a bit so that I don't have to numb the *^&$ out of it with the benzocaine. Instead, the benadryl is working to keep it happy. Now I'm more intent on keeping my skin happy. (I guess this Psoriasis part of the Psoritic RA). Okay, now I'm rambling and need to go have food.
