Went for my blood work this AM feeling 100%. No worries at all. Then the call came and I let it go to voice mail, assuming it was just routine. And then the phone rang again.Which couldn't be good. It went up. 320. SHOCK. I cannot believe this. Tomorrow AM I have STAT blood work again, a scan and then the shot. Now I don't even care about the shot. As bad as it was it wasn't this horror show. I don't care if my number is 85 tomorrow (haha) I am taking that shot. I asked the nurse since the 1st one didn't work why would the second. She gave me the same song and dance, that 90% of people are successful with Methotrexate, 80% of them with the first shot and then 7% fir the 2nd (and I guess there are people who go to the 3rd shot). I hope I am not going through all this just to have surgery in the end anyway. Of course, now I feel horrible again. Pain on my right side, blah blah blah. I went out and bought new deck furniture--didn't help. I thought I was at the end of my rope before---but this is absolutely ridiculous.
My hope--that the side effects are less horrible this time.
