Drug Failure #3

In my quest for the perfect Rheumatoid Arthritis drug...

(okay maybe not perfect, how about more effective and less pain)

I am now on my 3rd biologic drug.

I am hopeful this is the one...

This drug is given by infusion. 

I get to go sit at the Doctor's office and they drip it in.

The first round (two weeks ago) took 6.5 hours.

I took my ipad and a book and life was good.

It makes me sleepy so I also napped.

After I had to wait around an extra half hour cause my blood pressure was a bit low.

Second trip was yesterday.
I love how they cover where the IV actually goes in.

I can't even watch them set it up.

I read and napped.

It was a much shorter day only 4.5 hours.

My blood pressure was not quite as low so I was able to leave.

I felt better already and was all excited..

the doctor told me that was the steroid they gave me.

It should be working by 2 - 8 weeks.

The good news is the next infusion is in 5-6 months!

Life is still good!
