Starting week three today! Still have not cheated (I repeat that because it surprises even me!). I have gone three days now with NO FLARES. This may be a coincidence. Because it has only been two weeks and it's hard for even me to believe my "leaky gut" has healed this fast. But I don't care the reason. Because it has been three days with NO FLARES!
It may be way too soon to do this, but I made the decision not to take my Orencia this week. It really isn't working anyway, although it may be because I haven't given it enough time yet. But I thought I would try taking it every other week instead of every week.
I might add that this decision is not under a doctor's recommendation. I don't return to my rheumatologist until March. I know that if I emailed/called her and asked about cutting back on the Orencia, she would most likely say not to do this. But only because that's her job. So I'm taking the chance on this one. I'm hoping to go back to her in March and tell her I have cut back on the Orencia and feel great.
Or better yet - tell her that I don't need it anymore. Or any of the other drugs. And no I won't be making a follow up appointment, thank you. It's been very nice knowing you. But I won't be back!
Ok, so March may be a little soon to expect that. But I can dream.
