Here is an update on my situation and progress.

I have been on Remicade and Methotrexate Injections for many months now, and I have been given some relief from the suffering that Rheumatoid Arthritis has been causing me. As for my spine, well it is calm at this present time. NO MORE frightening attacks of pain, praise God for that blessing! But, I have to be ever mindful as to how I move, bend, twist, positions that I sit in and sleep in (a mentally taxing effort)! But I am managing well so far, but I am forever apprehensive because it will take nothing to cause a bad flair up!

My rheumatologist has ordered a MRI that is to be done at Standford University Medical Center, they are suppose to have the most advanced Machine in the states. But, once again I am concerned about the cost. MY hubby is retired and our money ain't all that great. Scary thought that is.
