I have not been here in a really long time because life just got crazy! I hope you are all doing well! Life is good right now, Remicade seems to be working and the grandbabies are doing fantastic! Walking, talking, sassy little boys, thank you all for asking about them! This is my crazy travel time and I am on the road weekly. Good thing is I have gotten to visit some great places! I do seem to have a few new places in my body that is falling apart but meds seem to be helping! Since going off Humira and starting Remicade my psoriasis is coming back which sucks! But I guess I am now looking at tradeoffs. Please don't anyone give me grief for taking meds, they work for me as well as changing my diet to eating organic and clean. Missed talking to all of you and I hope you are doing well! Kisses and hugs, thank you for supporting me! ---

are you taking a DMARD with the remicade? Somtime the P flares when changing bios, I am convinced because it wants to remind you its still around. It could be flaring because of all those wild hot tub parties on the road ;-)........ Always nice to hear from you. ---

MAT! So nice to hear from you and especially nice to hear that things are going all right for you. Not perfect, but all right. And the grandbabies sound like they are flourishing. Gosh, it seems like only a couple of months ago that we were betting on birth dates! Thanks for the wave and the hello! ---

No DMARD'S, because of other meds I take. Gave me a new cream to use and it seems to be working OK. Oh and I do love those wild hot tub parties - oh wait did I forget to participate in them - perhaps I should! Home this week and then to Kansas which I don't see any wild parties there but then Texas the next one and I can see some there - those Texans are wild people! Good to talk to you guys too, you always make me feel good! ---

Hey Seenie! Nice to chat with you too! No real complaints here, going up to my full dose of Remicade tomorrow. Surgery went well, graph is taking but a little slower that Dr. Hottie wanted it to, but back is so much better, now on to the shoulder! It seems unreal but those boys turned 16 months old Friday! I kept them two weekends last month and they wore me out! Such busy boys, but we are so thankful that they are healthy, happy, perfect babies! I hope things are going well for you, let me know.
