RA Post

Called my insurance today, because insurance is the god of the medical world...a doctor with 12+ years of experience in just training cannot pick a medication, the insurance god must approve of it. Whatever. :P Anyway, called insurance god to see where my Enbrel is, because I am feeling the effects of NOT having any ....very puffy joints. 
Insurance has to have this release form to prove that...my doctor is my doctor, I guess. It was a release form of sorts, but they wrote it in such a way that I am not sure who is releasing what information to who. Whatever again. I really don't care as long as I can try a therapy of sorts. 
Went for a third drive today, the third since I stopped being able to drive in September. It was a short drive, about two miles, and I am glad because my knee and ankle were driving me nuts. Went to my RA sister's house to fax. First time I've been there in ages. 
Have to say I love love love her RA bed set up. She is like me....try the normal human bed for a couple of hours, get miserable and move to a couch. Her couch is AMAZING. Lots of great squashy pillows, coffee table for cups and books, soft blankies and a poofy couch. We sound like the ultimate princess and the pea characters...lol. I keep trying to make my bed work better for me, but no perfect answer yet. Had a foam topper and it wasn't helping...but maybe if I put the topper from my twin on there...it was a different thickness and squashiness. I don't know. Or maybe the Enbrel will work well enough there is no issue.
