I only saw Van in concert once, and we had nosebleed seats. The tickets sold out in 15 minutes. At your mention of a concert, I am suddenly very intent on finding the tshirt I bought that night - haven't a clue where it is. And, what would I do with it if I found it? T shirt season is definitely DONE in Minnesota.
Wasn't it just precious beyond words? Bob fumbling the lyrics, Van's combover coming loose - yet is was so very perfect, in a way I can't describe. Two old friends coming together and jamming, on a hilltop by the sea. It put a big blast of warmth in my heart on this cold Minnesota night..........
hey, Rick, just stopping by to tell you thanks for all you do for us here! I appreciate your help and how much you add to the content here. Enjoyed the Jackson Browne video from Kathy, I don't know that song, but it was beautiful even if I couldn't make out all the words....
Hey Rick. We got our new benefits info for 2010 and guess what - Express Scripts is the only prescription provider to choose from. Yipee! I am ready to step on someone's head.
Then I listened to this song and calmed down. Made me cry,, as usual. '74 is the year I was diagnosed.
Ya, the Pred. can be a Royal pain as far as sending the blood sugars out of control. But at the right dosage and correct length of time it can get rid of a Bad flare usually. I thought your dose was a little too low actually. Sorry, it didn’t work for you Rick.
Yes, you mentioned the Cimzia before. I mentioned it to my Rheumy but I forgot what he said. :D Evidently my brain went on vacation at that time…without me. =) I believe his response was a negative.
Good luck in talking them into giving you the Cimzia by infusion. I think only the Orencia is delivered by infusion. I Reallly hope that it works for you. I’ve been on many sites and there are so many People in Bad pain with severe RA.
I had that kidney infection in September so I had to stop the Orencia since it spreads infection faster. It wasn’t working much for my RA anyways. I didn’t go back on it since I’m trying to decide whether to get the Flu shot or the H1N1 this week. I believe they said that we can’t take the biologics when we’ve had a vaccination within a certain time period. Are you getting either shot?? My Hubby is getting his H1N1 this week I think. Another Child here died from H1N1 the other day. 2 days of symptoms and he was gone. Poor Kid! Really scary.
We had 2 days of Nice sunny weather although cold but I see we get rain again today. Blah!! Makes RA hurt worse. :P I can''t wait to see the first snowflakes fall. I hope that your day is Sunny and you feel less pain Rick.
thanks for the comment. Nice to get to know you. So are you retired since you say ur not working ? You must have had an angel with you that day in San Francisco. You have a purpose to be here..... or you'd have gone down on that span. You're a good guy : )

Good to hear that you are still holding on there.
