RA = massive amounts of joint pain
Sucks a lot, but at least makes sense
Massive amounts of joint pain = complicated treatment
Fair enough.
Complicated treatment = Methotrexate (six or eight pills a week for over a year) + Remicade (infusions tried for six months) + ENBREL (currently once a week injection) + Prednisone (to help with pain while we figure out the rest of it)
Wow. That's a lot of drugs. Not to mention the ones I am on to help with the emotional aspects of all this. Oy.
Prednisone = Inflammation reduction + fat face + 30 pound weight gain
Yuck.
Prednisone + Reduced ability to exercise + 30 pound weight gain = High blood pressure at age 26
Yuck.
High blood pressure at age 26 = Need to take meds to control blood pressure
Like I needed some more meds to add to my crazy cocktail!! But I understand the need.
Meds to control blood pressure = hacking cough
Wait....what? My blood pressure meds are giving me a....hacking cough??
DOES NOT COMPUTE!!!
