Ready to go...I think

The pulmonologist cleared me to start the Humira today, with the following warnings:

No airplanes, no long trips, no hospitals, no doctor offices (except my own if I can avoid it), stay away from anyone who is sick (thankfully my kids are pretty healthy, for now) and call his office immediately if my cough changes, if I get a fever, if I get a rash or anything changes in my symptoms that seems out of the ordinary. And, he won't let me start lowering the prednisone until I'm on the Humira for at least 6 weeks.

Noooooo, I'm not worried!

On the up side, he said people who exercise regularly tend to do better on Humira. So, I keep moving!

I also learned today that I'll be starting the Boniva infusions soon. Apparently, losing a bunch of bone mass in a single year is a reason to start boosting the bones (Sally Field better be right!!!!). I hate the idea of having to take yet another drug, but I swear, if I break a hip, someone will get punched :-}
