A change of plans...

So I have not been in the mood to do any blogging in a while, but I am ready to get back into it! My Rheumy doctor went MIA in October and I went into a panic state. I have been on methotrexate injections (chemo) for over a year now and my next appointment we were going to switch to a biologic. I was excited for this because I had heard of people having so much success with it. My doctor had explained to me that insurance companies kinda make you follow a cheaper to most expensive time line when it comes to prescribing medications and biologics are at the most expensive end of the time line. So, I had done my time and tried all the least expensive drugs and none of them seemed to help any.  I got a call the day before my appointment saying that no one knew where my doctor went and that I would have to find a new Rheumatoid doctor. This meant that my almost empty pain killers were all I had left to survive on until I found a new doctor that would prescribe me the medications I need
