Rough Weekend

8 Feb

It was a rough weekend. The hours at my part time job have changed so I’m no longer driving home in rush hour traffic. This has taken a lot of stress off me. However, Friday afternoon there was a chemical spill on I-635. It took me three hours to get home. It was insane.

David’s arthritis has been pretty bad lately. David had to leave church early two Sundays in a row in January. His back and neck hurt too much for him to sit down that long. Sunday week he had to take a pain pill before church so he’d be able to make it through the services. Yesterday he was bedridden.

This is so frustrating and discouraging, especially since David’s Humira injections have increased to every 10 days instead of every 14. He’s supposed to be going into remission! Why is he flaring now? He’s gone all winter without being bedridden.

David’s job search continues. He’s been approached by a few out of state companies looking to hire a developer with his particular skills. We’ll see what happens.

Thank you all so much for your prayers!

Love,
A Young Wife

    I’m so sorry to hear things are not going well with the Humira. And I know how stressful job hunting is – saying a prayer for you both right now.

    Hey Ashsley,
    I’m so sorry. Do you think maybe the stress of the job searching is effecting his arthritis? Stress makes my MG waaaay worse…even if I’ve been doing okay with my medication and stuff…
    Best of luck…keep us posted!
    Love you, and praying.

    I’m so sorry about your husband. Has he been on Humira for very long? Maybe he is due for a change. My husband has had problems with his body growing too tolerant for a medicine to be effective.

    Thank you all for your prayers! I really appreciate it. Kerri, stress could definitely be causing his flare. Kat, no, I am not going to Bloggy Boot Camp. Heather, David has been taking Humira for just a few months.
