Hi. A small update.
In September I had blood tests to check for arthritis markers.
My rheumatoid factor has gone down considerably with the immunosuppressant but is still not at the levels my doctor wants, however I feel great.
The good news is that the side effect I had been having with the medication, which was hair loss, has stopped.
I also have not had any problems with infections from the medication, my white blood cells are at optimal levels so I am not vulnerable to infections.
I have not had any pain, my knees have not been swollen for months.
A funny thing that happened was that my husband needed to take an anti-inflammatory and we didn't have any at home, proof that I have months without buying anti-inflammatories.
The medication has given me the opportunity to live better, to concentrate on other things, to enjoy my life without always being in pain.
My personal process and internal work continues and this last year I was studying Mythology and Spirituality of the sacred feminine, where every month we saw an archetype for example Artemis, the Goddesses.
And it helped me a lot to connect from my feminine side and the energy of each archetype.
It helped me to be clearer about what is vital for me, to set clear limits, to respect my rhythms, what I can and cannot give in to.
This time the inner work has been more loving and not so much from pain.
Thank you for reading me.
