What Made You Happy Today?

[Elle Couerblanc]

I got my medication for psoriatic arthritis today. Huzzah!

Wow. Good tripping, that stuff?

It's Enbrel, a biologic medicine. What it means is that my hands won't constantly hurt and that the damage that the psoriasis is doing to my joints will stop.

So, no tripping but less pain.

This is awesome! My sister has psoriasis and I have a bevy of other auto immune diseases such as Graves and Celiacs. We now think my grandmother's arthritis was actually psoriatic arthritis too since she also had the skin version. YAY for modern medicine!

Insurance managed to anticipate a foot specialist that could only see me in December to see me next Wednesday. I can't even begin to describe the relief since I've been enduring a year of tendon pains without proper diagnosis other than 'yep, they are loose and you'll need surgery on your ankle for sure'. Very eager for treatment since I can't live without going to the gym and, these days, even hidroaerobics is painful as hell.

Not much has made me happy lately. A family member just died from lung cancer and we buried him 2 days ago. What a terrible terrible disease! What terrible suffering.

I guess I should be happy I have such a great family and friends who are there when needed - and that the suffering has ended. But I guess I am just not there yet....

[Tamar Luminos]

Oh my god, Mynerva- I'm so sorry! That is awful. I lost my father to something lung related 2 years ago, and still miss him every day, though it does get easier to handle as time goes on. My deepest sympathies to you and your family.

[TreatRothschild]

I'm sorry for your loss, Mynerva.

[Manon Seid]

I am so sorry Mynerva.

There is something magical in watching ones child fall asleep. That made me happy last night. Often i find happiness is tiny flashes of joy in the probably seemingly insignificant events of everyday life. Right now the morning sun streaming through an old oak creating dancing lights on my wall after two days of pure grey does it for me.

I got a new client!

I'm very close to having to hire someone.

I have worked hard to own and run my own business for years and I feel like I'm finally getting somewhere.

HELLZ yeah.
