I'm debating on stopping All arthritis medications until I am given the 'all clear' to resume my iv treatments. My body is having a par-tay with side affects since going back on oral medications as of the beginning of this year and I've about had it. I was always in that 1 or 2% of folks who experienced the rare side affects or allergic reactions to medications, but now, for some reason, I'm experiencing the more common, and even severe, side affects on a regular basis. Dizziness, vision problems (extreme blurriness and blind spots), histamine reactions, loss of equilibrium, drops in blood pressure, kidney function and thyroid function, headaches, ringing in my ears, increased fatigue and 'brain fog,' are just several of the things I've been dealing with throughout. It's scary, defeating, overwhelming, maddening & debilitating. And even those words aren't adequate enough. It also makes me wonder if now I'll react negatively to the iv medication if I go back on it. Hopefully my vision hasn't been permanently damaged. I can't think clearly enough, nor do I have the energy, to figure out another direction to go in. But that's where I'm at right now in this department. (You must have guessed by now something is amiss since I've been posting more photo's than words as of late). I hope you're all doing well!
Welcome! I'm so happy to have had so many visitors already! I must apologize for not being ready for you earlier! I also apologize for the wacky font sizes throughout my post. No matter how hard I try, I can't correct them. If music doesn't begin playing shortly after your arrival, scroll down until you see a purple music widget begin to load in the left hand column and wait until you hear the music before scrolling back up here. Happy Halloween Fete 2009! Love and Spookiness to All! ~Jo (Continue scrolling down until the end of the post) Outside, it's a gloomy & cold day here on the NJ coast. Many a restless Spirit wander here on days like this. One can never be too sure if the fog & mist are just as they seem. Inside, it is warm yet equally frightful! Creepy crawlies have gotten into the food & drink, I so hope you don't mind! What with all of the party hopping we're doing, I didn't want you to bust a gut, so I've laid out some Pumpkin Cook...

I was thinking of you today. I went to Bartram's Garden, a 45-acre property right next to the projects in Southwest Philadelphia. It was really rather lovely. Much of it very natural, but amazing that it has existed for almost 300 years.
You will be in our prayers.
Thank you for stopping by my California garden.
Brenda, I have been working on this with my doctor for months - it's a process of trial & error :o)
Lydia, Remicade is a God-send and I pray I'm able to go back on it with success! Your garden is lovely, thanks for stopping by mine!
