Is There ANY End to This Fatigue?!?

I can't remember ever feeling this awful....the past few weeks all I can think of is when I can go back to bed. It's been 8 wks since I started the Enbrel and even though I was fatigued before it has insidiously gotten worse and worse. There hasn't been a day in the past 2 wks that I haven't taken a nap during the day and/or gone to bed before 7 p.m. Have you ever not been able to put your finger on in it but just feel horrible - well that's the description of me these days. I have been having flashes of light in the peripheral vision field of my R eye intermittently for about 4 days. I have tried to get an Opthamologist appointment and will need to call again Wednesday. My Rheumatology appointment is tomorrow - I really don't know what to tell him - except I feel like crap - very helpful description of symptoms don't you think? - lol . Will let you all know how things are going. Hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day. If you feel even half as bad as I do HANG IN there!!!

The Envelope Please.....

After following up with the company I used to work for I was transferred for the tenth time to long term disability. They were confused but decided they should probably help me because I was starting to get annoyed...I was told my COBRA would continue and my disability would continue unless I got a "job of some kind" - somehow that didn't make since so I asked for my Case Manager to give me a call. I did give them the update on the Enbrel - which of course I haven't heard whether insurance will cover it yet. Another shot is due Wednesday - I have a sample from the Dr. but will need to ask for a couple more just in case. My right leg feels like knives are stuck in it and someone else is twisting it with every step I take. Gonna go to bed now - my appointment is 0800 - my poor best friend will have to come across town super early in the morning just to take me back across town.
