How is a nap in progress if you are posting in the forum?
Oh wait... I get it... You're sleeping with one eye open.

So, what's the name of the infusion they're giving you? Luckie's on one that's so new most hospital staff we see aren't familiar with it, Entivio, and it's working slightly, but possibly not enough, and since she's broken through two other options we're running out of medical solutions to the problem. Right now we're just waiting to see if the next six months will yield stronger results, but if they don't we're at a dead end.

About a decade, along with a second autoimmune related illness that isn't helping any. I've seen what it does to a person, so I'm glad you seem to be on the mend; it's so much easier when the pharmaceutical stuff works, compared to the other routes one can take. We're only seeing incremental improvement here, but we'll see what happens by this time next year.
Thank you. Yes it's made my life hellish in the past, so I'm really grateful it's under control now. My specialist thinks I'll need at least one more operation at some point, but hopefully a less major one.
I'm on infliximab, I go every 8 weeks for a 2 hour infusion. The nurses know me well enough now to rip the piss out of me given any excuse! I'm very sorry to hear they aren't working for Luckie, I wish you both all the best and I hope a treatment will stick soon, and it doesn't come to surgery.

I'm at the ragged end of yet another 60-hour work week ... and no reprieve until October.

Ain't that life?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Still dead.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
