April is National Poetry Month, so when you see this, post a poem you like on your LJ.

I felt a Funeral, in My Brain (280) - Emily Dickinson

I felt a Funeral, in my Brain,
And Mourners to and fro
Kept treading – treading – till it seemed
That Sense was breaking through –

And when they all were seated,
A Service, like a Drum –
Kept beating – beating – till I thought
My Mind was going numb –

And then I heard them lift a Box
And creak across my Soul
With those same Boots of Lead, again,
Then Space – began to toll,

As all the Heavens were a Bell,
And Being, but an Ear,
And I, and Silence, some strange Race
Wrecked, solitary, here –

And then a Plank in Reason, broke,
And I dropped down, and down –
And hit a World, at every plunge,
And Finished knowing – then –

so i'm starting remicaid soon. supposedly. maybe. someday. IF THE FUCKING INSURANCE COMPANY APPROVES IT. i mean, seriously, they need proof that i need this treatment... why would i do it if i didn't need it? sitting in a doctor's office for 2 straight hours hooked up to IV is NOT my idea of fun, nor is it anyone else's idea of fun, so why would they think i'd do it if i didn't need it? i'm annoyed. angry. irritated. sick. i mean, come on, i've lost too much weight, i can barely eat, i'm tired and i'm sick of being sick!

Thu, 01 Feb 2007 16:20:30 GMT

so yeah, i've kinda dropped off the face of the internet recently lol.

i got strep throat twice, back to back. that sucked. also, my crohn's is flaring up and my job took me off the schedule. more suckage. and i have to have 5 or 6 medical tests before i can start my new meds which i wish i could start now. blah.

however, i'm starting iron infusions again so i hope that'll make me feel a bit better. and, once i start my remicaid, i can do them both at the same time to save me a doctor appointment and a needle poke.

also, i got a job @ wendy's again. yay for work!

and it's ian's birthday next week! yay for cake!

now if only i could eat anything... lol

ideas?

later last month, i went off of my majour medication for my crohn's disease, pentasa, because it seemed to be making me feel worse. after being on it for about 2 years, this is an odd occurance; side effects popping up after so long. my mom made me an appointment with a homeopathic nutritionist doctor, and my gastroenterologist reffered me to a colleague of hers to get his input.
i had my appointment with her colleague tonight. he basically said that i should either go back on an immunosupressant drug (either imuran or 6mp or something to the like) or that i could participate in a study for a new treatment option called adacolumn. now, earlier this year, my doctor had put me on imuran and i was good on it for about 2months, wherein i then was diagnosed and hospitalized with bilateral kidney infections that had gone unnocticed due to my supressed immune system. for that reason, i am not so much liking the idea of going back on immunosupressants, however, i'm not sure about being part of the study either.
adacolumn is a non-drug based treatment, which sounds nice to begin with. basically, it is an IV based therapy in which blood is drawn out of you and into the adacolumn machine. the machine selectively takes out white blood cells that are actively assaulting my system, and then the cleansed blood is cycled back into the body. 2/3 of the stduy's particpants will get the cleansing, 1/3 will get a "sham" (placebo). this technique is widely used and accepted in japan and europe as an effective way to treat crohn's. i would have to go to hamden twice a week for 2 weeks, then once a week for the remainder of the testings. after the entire study is over, if the FDA approves this as a treatment, i would be able to get it openly (the real deal, no "sham"), but if, for some reason, the FDA does not approve it, all of the test subjects, whether it had helped them or not, woudl be out of luck.
my question is, what's your advice?
