#rhuemy

I like to be on top of things and one of the more important topics I feel the need to keep up with (ofcourse though) is my rheumatoid arthritis. I don’t know about anyone else, but I have been one 5 different medications too many and all have a side effect that makes me want to just give up all efforts. The main one is weight gain. I’ve gained 35 lbs. in the last 8 months and I can’t drop a single damn pound, no matter how much I exercise or how little I eat. It’s fucking frustrating. What the fuck to do?

The worst part is that I really liked this doctor.  Farewell Dr. Ramos, i'm sad we can't be together longer. 

The glamorous life of a spoonie

My RA flared up again, apparently it can be in your jaw...I couldn't get to sleep until 3 am because it felt like somebody had ripped all my teeth out on my left side, when I woke up it still hurt and so did my wrists, and knees, and ankles, and my feet are both swelling... Anybody else find it ironic that they trap your pain pills in a bottle you can't open because you're in pain? Yea it's super helpful. Still feeling nauseous from my methotrexate pills 2 days ago...I just need to wait until november to ask to switch to injections hopefully!! Side note, any of you rheumates have a handicapped parking pass? I'm thinking about getting one so if I'm at school and my feet/knees are flaring up I don't have to walk half a kilometer to get to class, but then again, on the outside I look like a happy ,perfectly healthy, blonde 17 year old girl that isn't handicapped and I could get scrutinized...do you think it would be worth it?
