Anti-Inflammatory drug recall...

The drug, Prexige, I have been taking for the chronic inflammation in my hip has been pulled from the shelves by the FDA.... I fully understand why, it has been proven to be very dangerous including two liver transplants and 2 deaths associated with it. However, it actually worked for me, so this means I will have to start from scratch to find something that will give me the level of relief I have had for the last month... by no means has it been perfect, but it has been so much better than before. Ah well... maybe the next one will be even better.

Ok... I'm back...

So after a couple of months of being out of the loop, I think I'm back.... A couple of doctor's appointments later and things seem to be getting abit more on track. I have managed to get onto Lyrica for my flare ups and on Prexige for my hip pain and yesterday my specialist agreed to refer me to a sleep clinic... go me!

For all you out there I found a great website - check it out: http://www.butyoudontlooksick.com/ and also take a look at the Spoon Theory... very helpful in trying to explain what it is like to be ill even if you don't look it.
