Brief Update

I've got a few new diagnoses on top of the others but we're working through it.

Crohn's disease, hidradenitis suppurativa, migraines, psoriasis, and polymalgia rheumatica.

I'm on a 60 day taper of steroids and an experimental dosage of Humira at 80mg per week.

Will update later.

Argan Oil

Argan oil! I am in love with this stuff. The Body Shop Wild Argan Oil  smells amazing and is good for hair and body. I have the  solid  and it makes a great cuticle oil. The label says not to use on the face but I may have already done that... I might grab a few items the next time I’m near a Body Shop because I really just want to smell like this all the time.  The Josie Maran Argan Oil Light  is a liquid and has no smell and can be used all over, including the face. It’s super effective at getting rid of flakes and dry patches. It also plumps wrinkles and improves skin elasticity. The “Light” version is different from  normal Argan Oil , it sinks into skin faster and dries with no extra shine, but from what I can tell it is missing some of the skin repairing properties of regular Argan Oil.

There was an incident...

Yesterday was shot day. Three pens, as expected, no big deal. Except one of my pens misfired. The needle didn't even touch the skin. I pressed down, counted to ten, pulled it away, and the Humira started spraying. I put my hand over the end to catch to fluid so that it didn't spray all over the carpet. According to the Humira rep with AbbVie this is a normal mechanical failure. I explained the incident, gave them some info from the package, and as soon as they confirm with my doctor a new pen will be on the way. I have extras in the fridge, so no lapse in dosing. Still, injecting is anxiety inducing enough without equipment failure. The other problem: I noticed two lumps in my right arm pit on Thursday morning. Around 9 AM it was the size of a ping pong ball. I sat in Sus' house all day while she cleaned, unable to help her because the building pain was just too much and movement would only make it worse. By dinner time it was roughly the size of a tennis ball, and more...
