So, I would consider this just as trying to rope you, or more precisely your work / labour power in again for whatever she has next on her 'to do-list'.

Oh, I've made it very clear I'm never doing anything for her again. I didn't finish siding her house and I'm not going to. Period. Anything goes wrong down there, she better hire someone to fix it because I won't help. I'm done.
NOW let's see if she still wants to make amends when she'll never get anything out of me labor-wise.

I like staying home. I think I do have a bit of hermit in me... my maternal grandfather was one.

I think it is a heritable trait. My mother was semi hermit, I lean hermit, and my son is for sure a hermit.

Good afternoon, Cafe. Made a fresh pot! We've got a biting cold wind today and zero sunshine...

My zoom appt turned out not to be enough to change meds. I'll have to make the 5hr round trip on Friday for a physical examination. More of my favorite thing(needles!!), I'm sure of it. I'm really hoping the weather is clear, as the pass sucks even when it's bone dry. Meh

That is goo bad!

I hope the trip goes well

Thanks, Ron! Methotrexate is what I think is next, which requires monthly or bi monthly blood tests. I guess the hope is that I'll get so used to needles I will no longer care

Is Methotrexate for arthritis?

It would be nice if there was a service to come make the blood draw so that you did not have to make a long trip

It was originally used as a cancer drug, but it's a DMARD (disease modifying antirheumatic drug). And it's the cheapest one, so that's what the insurance likes. You basically have to start at least expensive and work your way up if it doesn't work for you.

Luckily, I can get my blood work done here and don't have to travel for that. Only the exam.

Did you already take the Methothrexate? If so, for how long?

No, I haven't tried it yet. That's what this appointment is for. I've been on hydroxychloriquine for about 7 months, but it's not working so she said to stop taking it yesterday.

A friend of mine tried Methotrexate and the side effects had her stop it after a few month, and she did not get any benefit from taking it.
