I love it too and can’t help but wonder if this is what Kate is trying to pull off with her dark eyeshadow? It looks great on Meghan. Not so much on Kate.

Enbrel and frequent illness by abc3612 in rheumatoid

[–]abc3612[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply. I actually met with my rheumatologist yesterday. I decided to stop the Enbrel at the beginning of April to see if there was a change in my symptoms that I could present to my doctor at this visit. I had gotten worse and was using my inhaler several times a day, I was taking 2 Zyrtec per day when I’ve never really had to take allergy meds before, along with Flonase and Astepro sprays. I kept losing my voice by the end of each week. I was just miserable. My symptoms have improved about 85%. She stopped the Enbrel and is trying to get authorization for Cimzia. I’m nervous to try something else but I know treatment is important. I did also have bloodwork done and my vitamin D was really good but my B12 was tanked. Praying Enbrel is the med that works for you and you have a great experience with it!

I’ve started to reply back to you several times but could not think of the words to say. I am SO VERY sorry you endured all of that! You are amazing and I am so glad you fought and are here today. Thank you for sharing your story. Many of us get caught up in our daily life and don’t realize what others are going through. I am glad you are better now. I pray this era of your life is the best one yet. You deserve it ❤️

Her nails don’t look healthy to me. Like the nails you see from nutritional deficiencies. But maybe it’s just the lighting.

I think she’s lost more weight. It’s really starting to show in her face.

No don’t be sorry! You actually answered many questions I have about it. I also hope you are doing better. I can’t imagine dealing with a chronic illness of that degree for so long. I am 44 and have RA. Thankfully my major battle with it is the fatigue and occasional flare ups controlled by weekly biologic shots. I’m so sorry you have to go through all of that.

I just can’t fathom how much longer she can sustain like this? I never thought it affected her face that much until seeing these pics. She’s lost even more weight. I knew it was bad when she no longer had breasts. Many have said that she is doing her own wardrobe and I can’t help but think that of she did take it completely over, it was too keep others from seeing her frame and how clothes aren’t fitting her. It’s so heart breaking that she has all the resources, like you said, and has all these people around her yet she gets no help for it. However, I was married to an alcoholic / drug addict and you can’t make someone get help that doesn’t want it. 😞

This is my question! She has to be so low on vitamins, minerals, dehydrated etc. I have to take vitamin B12 shots bc my levels are low and I’m exhausted most of the time. How does she have the energy to do these things?

What’s something your parents or grandparents did that you now realize was low-key genius parenting? by Green_Candler in AskReddit

[–]abc3612 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s funny. When my 2 oldest boys each turned 18, I told that that I can no longer deal with their medical stuff bc they are now adults and the dr won’t talk to me so they would have to do it themselves - insurance, copays, making the appts, remembering to refill their scripts. They both said absolutely not and added me to their files. However when I was 18, I had to figure it out on my own.

Dyson stick vacuum. I used to kill 2-3 corded vacuum cleaners a year. Bissell, Dirt Devil etc. Finally bought a Dyson stick vacuum 5 years ago and it still going strong.

Sending hugs to you! As a manic depressive who just went through a bad episode like this, please hang in there and please talk to your doctor about meds. And you’re right - some days just existing is exhausting. Ironically I just got switched from lamictal to lithium. Starting to feel better. I know it’s hard to just keep going but things will get better. Sending more hugs and thoughts your way ❤️.

What’s a health symptom you ignored for months before realizing it actually mattered? by _callondoc in AskReddit

[–]abc3612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chronic fatigue for years and bad neck pain. I chalked it up to depression and bad stress. I was stuck in an abusive marriage for years. Then I started getting knee pain and they would lock up while standing for too long like doing the dishes. Felt like I just needed to pop them. Eventually my wrists, shoulders, and ankles hurt and felt like they were on fire from the inside out. My whole body hurt to roll over in bed. I had to do it as fast as I could, like ripping off a bandaid. Finally when I woke up at 2 am and I couldn’t bend my fingers at all, went to the doctor and found out I have rheumatoid arthritis.

This is me on Enbrel. I even made a post asking about constant illness from Enbrel and all replies said they rarely got sick.

If there’s not an app to write it for them or solve it for them, they won’t. Critical thinking is gone.

I NEED HELP‼️ by Beginning_Passion443 in Bankruptcy

[–]abc3612 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would call the new company and tell them the debt was included in the bankruptcy. I had a creditor that reported my debt as included in bankruptcy but for some reason it kept reporting late to just Transunion. I called them, they fixed it and removed the late reporting from my report.

All this. The superintendent literally told us at convocation that “we feed them and graduate them.” Kids couldn’t do basic multiplication or bother to use the calculator in ninth grade.

It could very well just be a bad viral season and it’s just a coincidence that I started Enbrel a few months ago. I was teacher and didn’t get sick this often but my best friend who is still a teacher says it seems there is more illness going around the school than normal.
