Journal Entry for May 29, 2007 Mood
Tuesday, May 29, 2007

Second remicade infusion today.   No problems so far.   Also found out results from sleep study done a couple of weeks ago...bummer.. I do have severe sleep apnea... so now I get to start that round of diagnostics...  On a good note... I can stop taking plaquenil and begin tapering off prednisone.  

I did already feel better from the first infusion two weeks ago.  I was actually able to help husband clean house this weekend... hmm, that may have been a mistake (lol)... he'll expect it every weekend now!   I was also able to open a jar which hasn't been possible for a couple of years..  Small milestones, but it's progress.

All in all, it's been a good week.   I actually accomplished some things at work this week AND managed to stay awake 'til 10 or so...as opposed to going to bed at 7pm!  Quite an improvement... of course I wasn't doing much just escaped with a book with no redeeming qualities.  It's a start.   I go in  on Tuesday for my second remicade treatment.  The first one was a piece of cake, hopefully this next one will go well.
