New day

6:30am
Again.
Feels good to get going,
Safe to say
Routine works best
For my system,
And the sky is a lavender blue.
Slept deeply last night
Till the dog woke me up
Hot searing pain
In my thighs
And liquid burn run down my back.
Damn I think, damn,
Do i stick it out
Or cave to the crave
Of the painfree life?

Just a ditty. Planning to sit down today and work carefully on a performance poem, which I'll share later if successful. The picture above is my medications April 2014 (on the left) and then June 2017. I've actually just lowered again and taken 2 more tablets off. Trying to work out where I'm at with this and seems not great. Big pain in the arse with Methotrexate : it stays in the system sometimes for up to 3 months so very hard to tell how safe when dropping - especially as it also takes so long to re-enter your system once upped again. It's not a pain med. It's actually chemo. I have 'sero negative' arthritis - both ankylosing spondylitis and psoriatic arthritis. I was told this was 'progressive and incurable' and have had to work intensely to heal my gut and control the illness naturally. Has been a long process and really struggling with these last few tablets but argh. I will get there.

My blog is a poetic record of both my life with, and my efforts to crush,
seronegative arthritis.
