Man, just when I thought the tears had dried up, I read the latest posts from all of you and it started all over again.  Thanks to all of you. It's only just beginning to sink in what this will mean in terms of my life. And I have no doubt that I am going to get one of these drugs. Somehow, soon, the Battle of Bureaucracy will be won. We have only just begun to fight (sorry, I'm in VE Day mode). Many grateful hugs,
Kat

I am so excited for you. Enbrel has truly changed my life. My daughters said it best, Ebrel gave them back their mom. Your life is fixing to change. Good luck and God Bless. -Kate  
Have a GROOVY Day!

Hi Kat, I am so happy for you!!!! I am so glad that you have a Dr. that is compassionate to you. I wish we could all be treated that way. You just cry and be thankful all you want, you deserve it! Keep us updated on the details, Lisa (((((HUGS))))))

...they've been rocks for me and I am so grateful to them for everything they've done but they have their own lives to live and I can't expect them to drop everything to come to my aid when I don't have the energy to look after my house or do the htings I love. I live alone and the last man I was with couldn't have cared less about the AS. So, I have dealt with this as I have pretty much everything else, desperately wanting, eneding, someone to help me and holding ourt no hope for it. No expectation of it.
Hello Kat, I just wanted to say something in response to the bit of your message above as reading it was like reading about me and i know how hard it can be, especially as people can't always see the pain or think because you're going to work and getting on with things best you can that you're ok. but what i wanted to say is that i recently started a relationship with a man, the first proper relationship since i was diagnosed 5 years ago, and it has been quite possibly the scariest but most excellent thing to have happened to me in recent years. I didn't think i would be able to let him see me when i get bad, or that i wouldn't let myself accept help when i've been on my own for so long, in case he couldn't handle it long term and i would get used to it and he would leave....but he's made it so easy and has been so wonderful and it doesn't seem to phase him at all. I know this is a bit gushy (most unlike me!) but good things do happen to good people, and fingers crossed you will get your approval and will feel up to some serious flirting!
I wish you all the best.
(Just closed the quote for you - mig)

Thank you so much, Sarah. And I'm very glad you've met someone that special. Gush away, hon. You deserve it! As for waiting for my Enbrel to flirt ... who says I'm not already?  Hugs,
Kat
