Nibs goes from bad to worse.

[sistawendy]

Nibs told me a couple of days ago that her liver and kidney function tests have been so bad that she's being taken off methotrexate and Mobic. Her rheumatologist is even wondering if she has the same rare liver disease that her mother does: autoimmune hepatitis. She tells me that she'll be awake for more of the day than she currently is (which is about twelve hours), but she'll be in pain whenever she is awake.

I instantly thought, 'Good. She'll be awake more. I can talk to her in the middle of the day when I need to.' And then I remembered that that's evil.

Yes, to a considerable degree I've tied my life into a pretzel for her and will continue to, projects aside, for another three years or so. And you know what? I don't regret that. I have a feeling I'm about to regret it even less.

I'd tell you to hug Nibs, but her fibro may make that uncomfortable.

And I don't know her. I hug you to support a friend.

Oh, man, that's not good. Poor thing!

And I think you're a great person for tying your life into a pretzel for her!

they took my roomie off methotrexate as well, she takes humera now. Are all chemo drugs out from her liver function, now, or just that one?

I feel for her. KIB might help take the edge off for her. I cant recall if she has tried it or not, but if you want to pick some up for her, I do have it on hand. Just let me know.

You are a fantastic wife, and she is dammned lucky to have you as much as she does.

She can still take her biologic, but that's about it.

Me, a wife. Heh. Nibs calls me her wasband.

I think you would be a "huife" since you started as a husband.
