I'm making a list

I have to make a list because I have no brains. My husband swears that my life is wallpapered with lists.

In early May, I saw my rheumatologist with the goal of doing something about methotrexate. While it has been good at controlling my rheumatoid, it has suppressed my immune system so that I would get a cold that would last 1-2 weeks every two months. I can't be out of commission that often from a stupid cold.

We made a deal where I would wean down my methotrexate for two months and increase my sulfasalazine and wait and see how I do. Well its two months and I go back to see her to talk options. I am not sure this combination has been that good. I have been having a lot of problems with my RA. Damn.

But I am making a list of issues and what to ask about options. Its a long list of issues and I am not sure how many options there are. Double damn.

A little humor this morning.

I am going through a phase where my butt is dragging around because of my stupid RA and adjusting medication levels. I wasn't sure if I would be up for going to work yesterday or today. I did make it through yesterday morning and since I am up, I will go to work for a bit, probably just the morning again.
I need humor to make it through the day.
And I have to ask the question, which would be worse: being allergic to a favorite food or item or having cancer? At this point I am actually leaning toward the allergy thing. If I became allergic to red wine right now, that would really suck.
