    Received a shot in both feet again.  Bump on left foot and bottom of right foot.  The shots seem to be helping.   The bump on my left foot is shrinking considerably.

    My ultra sound appointment was at 1:00 today at Ft. Gratiot Mercy.  I was there a little before 1 and was out by 1:30.  Hopefully will find something out about the left side of my hip.  Also gave myself my Humira shot today.

    My appointment with Dr. VanDellen today was at 8:30.  I told her that Dr. Turk had said to go to her about the pain in my left.  She ordered an ultra sound and reluctantly game me another cortisone injection.  Hopefully this will help.

    Dr. Turk - Note to self - No Tordol Shots!

    rheumatoid-arthritis-blog
    Had an appointment with Dr. Turk, Neurology and Spine Center, at 9:45 today.  I was there at 9:40, but wasn't seen by him until 10:30.  I was really upset during my visit with him, and decided to get a tordol shot.  Reminder:  Do not get another tordol shot again!  I think I may have had an allergic reaction from it, and felt worse rather than better.  Plus, it's only supposed to work for a day or two, so What's the Point?!

    I have been seeing Dr. Frascone since October, 2015.  Have been getting cortisone shots in both feet every two weeks since then.  My appointment was at 9:30 am today, and received a shot in both feet again.  The nurse told me today that the Dr. couldn't believe that I walked in the office when he first saw me.
