ArteMie journey with Humira

[Grizzly Bear]

So. Fridge broke down, for the second time. First time with old fridge; no pens lost.( This time; lost three Humira pens. One of which I could still have used within 14 days of being at room temperature. 

Caused a bit of stress, them being so expensive. And then there was mr. ArteMie, thinking to help, putting them in the freezer.... So, hospital told me to throw them all out and get new pens.  Ofcourse in the evening of the day I was supposed to take it. Can't be mad at mr Artemie of course! The freezer part stayed on, though second-hand, it's a fancy fridge, it's got LEDs! )

So, had to take a day of and go to the hospital to pick up 3 new boxes with 6 pens. That's like... a lot of money worth of fancy meds =] In public transport, with a strange white cooler box. Don't rob me please =]

One day late with jabbing the meds in, but I'm told that's not a big problem; Humira has a 'half-life' of 10 to 20 days. And we're all different, So who can tell. And; have no idea what half-life is, since I try to live it at it's fullest 

No cost involved, luckily! Meanwhile there's still thinning of patches and less flaking, although not so fast as first. Not sure if this means it's not gonna work and my body makes antibodies, or that it just takes time. 

Not so bone tired this time, but it's sunday: monday usually is involved to in the tiredness, so not sure yet since I took the Humira a day late.

Fridge is still broken but replacement part is being put in tomorrow by shop, since it's still under warranty. We've got a small temp fridge to tie us over. Guarding meds with life. 

Wore a short sleeved dress to a party friday, elbow spots almost gone. Only felt a little self conscious. And when we have friends visiting our garden house and it's sunny; i just wear my short summer dresses. Not in public (yet?) , but it feels good.

I do hope that your fridge is working now ArteMie

Hopefully it won't be long before you start wearing your summer dresses out and about
