Hello My Dear Friend's, It seems that I have made a come back. I have been thru a period of time of both depression and physical pain, of which there seemed I could find no way out.
I am "Happy" to report that at last I seem to be on the mend. I have been on MTX for a little over a month. {but I must say that it seems to be doing little} I remain on Oxy Contin 20mg 3xdaily. Hopefully in a few weeks they are going to add REMICADE to the mix. The VA here in Dallas has taken a very strong interest in the treatment of its AS patients, and are soon to begin a study using REMICADE in tandem with the MTX. I have great expiations that the combination will be beneficial.
I have started carving again and am in the process of trying to put together a class teaching woodcarving. The first class will consist of carving Christmas ornaments. This is something that I enjoy greatly and have not been able to do in over two years. I will take pictures of the new items and share them upon completion.
It has been some time since I last visited KickAS and have missed the many friends that I have made here. I am looking forward to getting to know the new members as well.
The site has made some changes since I last visited and it will take me a little time to learn how to navigate it with ease. Any tips will be greatly appreciated. THANKS and its good to be back..............Gary Simmons
