Happy New Year Guys

[Bullwinkle]

Happy New Year Lads.
Just had to change the topic on this forum.;)
How are you guys doing? Is kryptonite still eating thru your superman suit like it is mine? I have sle and mixed connective tissue issues. My pains are like I am having a heart attack almost all day long with chest pains. Then there is the leg, joint hands, and neck pains. Headaches seem to want to have their share of my time too. Then there are a few more minor issues, just in case I'm about to feel okay for a short while.
I wonder if sitting on a topless beach would help at all, any other suggestions would be a help.:lol:
I'm on the usual concoction of drugs; Pred 15 mgs; Plaq. 400 mgs. Didrocal; Warfarin, Imuran, T3's, etc. Probably not as many as some of you fellas, but lots for me, a guy who never took even an asprin before.
All the best in 2007 guys.:wink2:

Thanks Bullwinkle and Happy New Year to you all.

I've been having a rough time myself and it all started with an infected cyst. I will be starting on 20mg of pred. tomorrow because my rashes have become very active with this long ordeal. You have me beat on meds but I share a lot of your pain. Lets hope this all passes soon for us and the kryptonite goes back where it came from for a while. My super suit is definately going to need some major mending after this. :lol:

Take care :)

Hi Stonefeather,

No flare, Yay! :cheer2: I hope your treatment does the trick for you. Nicer weather will be welcome here as well. I think I'm all healed up now except I think I have a flare hangover. :p I am planning to do some exercising myself soon, it's on my resolution list. :wink2: Take care and get that fishing gear ready. :wink2:
