The morning started off great! No stiffness, relatively little pain except for my toes. I started on my vitamins regimen today. Today was also my second dose of the methotrexate...I take it once a week. Not sure if it was the vitamins or the methotrexate, but felt very nauseated within an hour or two. Today was also the first day of splitting my prednisone dosage. Taking 1/2 in the a.m. and 1/2 in the p.m. instead of all it in the morning. Not sure how that's going to go! Probably having the worst pain in my fingers and hand I've ever had today. Have yet to take the second half of the methotrexate or the prednisone...not looking forward to another round of nausea.
Had oatmeal made with milk for breakfast...hard-boiled egg for a snack...baked potato and cooked carrots for dinner. Supper is chicken penne pasta in alfredo sauce and yellow wax beans. Drank a V-8 this afternoon...and LOTS of water. So I'm trying to fit all the vegies in! Will have fruit before bed. It's hard to get all of them!! Not even hungry enough for all the servings you're supposed to have!! lol
Feeling down today...tired of feeling like this...I want instant relief, but that isn't possible. Missed my water aerobics...hurt too much today. Hoping tomorrow is a better day...and I can call off the pity party! :)
Do feel like I'm sticking to most of my goals...aerobics just wasn't in the cards for today!

You're doing so much better than I would... I'm a lousy patient and no fun to be around. Love that you're drinking V8 juice. I spent a couple of years as a truck driver and couldn't get enough veggies at the truck stops. V8 kept me alive!!! :)
