Testing, 1,2,3
Well, people. It seems that today is the day. Sometime during the day, between muttering and fits of rage, I shall go.
Unless I change my mind. I must head to the Vampyre Clinic for my quarterly desanguination, my Bloodletting with a Co-Pay. I shall be drained, at least partially, and interrogated regarding my medication.
I like to think of it as my 'Am I Dead Yet?' meeting.
Within a few weeks, I will return to the beloved Dr. Yup-Yup. We shall go over my levels, my kidney function, my liver function. He shall smile and nod, and ask rapid fire questions. I may or may not understand him.
We shall discuss Options, which are down to two. If the Humira is not doing its job, or if it is wrecking me, we shall take the next steps.
Chemotherapy and a cane.

None of that sounds like any fun at all.
Yuck...just yuck. Doesn't sound like a way I'd like to spend my Friday. Then again, you could be spending part of your day in a pool with water temps not quite at body temp, and out door temps at high 60's...with a bunch of toddlers "practicing" their kicking. Yeah...good times.
Good luck, Renn. I hope it's all good news!
Uh, Renn? That sounds rather unpleasant. Can I bring you a smoothie or perhaps a bitey puppy to lift your spirits? ooo! or wait, some icecream from sunny skys?
I'm your girl friday, ask and I will deliver.

Hope things turn out for the best, and you are given a shot of Jack at the door.
Ugh - I went to the Wikipedia and looked up Humira. I understood a third of it.
Keep your humor about you!!!
Oh my. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
My word verification started with "IV". Coincidence?
Exsanguination is one of my favortie words, but not as it involves people I know and like.
Best of luck, friend. Let us know how it goes.
Hey - a cane with a sword inside would be kinds cool. Suitable for brandishing at snotty coworkers and the like.
My verification word is "gahfacx" I like it.
Sweetie, you definitely would have to get the sword/cane. OR if you couldn't find one of those, maybe just a really knobbly chunky cane, that you could A) smack people with and B) trip people with, the former, helpful and the latter, funny.
Praying for you, you know.
Better yet, Tiff, a cane with a screw top and a reservoir for whatever liquid you fancy!! (which may help you not mind the reason for the cane).
I know someone on Humira, Renn, and she is doing well. I hope it works for you!
That doesn't sound very good, Renn. I hope it all goes well...
What? I had no clue about any of this. Jeez. I looked up Humira and I'm like: holy CRAP.
Best wishes for your bloodletting.
My thoughts are with you!
well this sounds like a ticket to sucksville!
I hope its all good news.
I hate the blood-letting. The vampires. And I have three tattoos and 12 earrings. You'd think I'd be over it, but...
I hope your results are good. Keep us updated, huh? Mwah!
Yikes! I'm so sorry. I hope it turned out less horrible than previous visits.
