Sed Rate is down. My Rheumatologist called at 10:10 last night. Obviously this is bothering him too. He was behind all day because their computer was down when I was in the office and people were stacking up like a load of logs. I knew he would have a hard day. But he took the time at 10:10 p.m. to call and let me know that the sed rate was down and I don't have to add the Plaquenil or steriods to my regimen. He also commented to my husband that perhaps the lower dose of methotrexate was what was causing the fractures. In other words, allowing the RA to "eat more bones". Who knows, but maybe I've turned a corner finally. I'm waiting to start the Forteo until I talk to the Endo. I'd like her regimen to be followed. She's experienced with it, he's not.

Now to just get over this break. By the way, I do not recommend a Temperpedic mattress to anyone who is suffering with a lumbar, hip or pelvic problem. It doesn't permit you to scoot and it is a real **tch to get out of or on to. It grabs you and won't let go.
