Welcome to my Blog site!

Okay...I finally did it....here is my blog site. So for the first one I will tell you a little bit about myself. I am 32, I have RA, OA, and osteopenia. I also have a slipped disk in my cervical spine. I am currently on Remicade and Methotrexate for RA and when I remember to take it, Actonel for osteopenia. I have had one arthoscopic knee surgery in sept 06...and I have another one scheduled for feb on the other knee. I am not sure that the Remicade is doing its job at this point. I am getting ready to undergo some spinal injections in my neck in an attempt to get some relief from the pain related to the slipped disc and well....I guess I have a lot of things coming up soon.
I am an ER nurse, though I have been on medical leave for the past few months and I am not sure at this point when if ever I will return to work. Don't worry, I have plenty to keep me busy with 2 kids, 2 cats, and 5 dogs. Oh, yeah, and a husband too...lol.
I live in Texas and most people who know me will agree that I am very proud of this fact. I am usually a happy person considering all of the crap that I have to deal with and I have a pretty laid back attitude and a good sense of humor.
I am the creator of RAsushi, but I couldn't have done it with out the help of my friends Liz (Grammaskittles) and Katie (ArrisColwell). They have done so much of the technical stuff, and they are the ones who keep the RAsushi blog going strong.
This blog is just my journaling about my day to day thoughts and feelings on life with RA. I am a pretty typical person...and average girl. So maybe just maybe my story is someone else's story...and maybe I will be able to help someone deal with RA, or at the very least help them to ward off insomnia.
