Howdy folks!
I can’t believe how tardy i’ve become in updating this journal, things have been VERY hectic for me since early September.
In my last post I was very excited about my inflammation levels reaching an all time low at 8! So far, it appears to have stayed, which is even better news! Due to feeling like a million bucks, i’ve been able to go back to college and get a proper education, which I’ve wanted to do for years now. I’m studying Animation, Art and Design at Motherwell and hope to progress to university next year to study Game Concept Design or something similar.
It’s all very exciting!
The bad news with this post is, I appear to have contracted Swine Flu. Neither my GP or rheumatology nurse seem very worried just now. I’ve been confined to the house as per regular instructions, told to rest, and have been given a sick line for 7 days off college and told if I experience any breathing difficulties or chest pains to go straight back to the doctor. My nurse told me not to take any Methotrexate or Humira this week and to go back for a check up at my GPon Wednesday. The reason for no drugs is the likelihood that Tamiflu can interact with the Methotrexate and increase the Methotrexate Plasma Toxicity. Bad times.
I’m feeling pretty lousy at the moment, so I’m off to lie down. Thank god swollen inflammed joints are not accompanying this!
