Well, it’s Wednesday and that’s Methotrexate and 50,000 IU Vitamin D day, every week. Merp 😒 So I’m switching things up. Started my morning with 🌶 ☕️ per the norm 🤗🤗☕️☕️. Added in my French Vanilla Casein powder, maintenance meds and supplements of Vitamin B complex, Collagen and Ashwaganda, Chromium and holding on magnesium and will try before bed. I had scrambled eggs 🍳 and sausage instead of IF. I plan to do my stairclimber 💃🏻 climber earlier today instead of at night. I find I have zero strength on Wednesdays due to the meds and it seems to last a few days off and on, plus RA fatigue is getting real, and the combination of Plaquenil and Methotrexate are giving me insomnia, even though I’m tired. My sleep is terrible. Between meds, IF and work being busy, my calorie intake has been terrible. It’s too low, I’m trying to remedy this. It’s resulted in me feeling cold, and leads to not a very productive digestive system. It also can stall weight loss. I really noticed how low my intake was last week and have made a conscious effort to up it. Happy Hump day all. Be ☺️☺️💪💪☀️☀️💜💚

You're taking the Methotrexate for arthritis, not psoriasis, right? How is it working for you so far? Any improvement?

Yes friend, for my RA. They put me on it with the Plaquenil because I was still having a lot of disease progression, daily discomfort which whatever, but more mini flares then I should and a few long intense flares. It’s working. My CRP level is dropping at a faster rate then when I was on the Plaquenil. It’s still elevated but it’s definitely going down.

Oh hugs Jc. I hate that you feel horrible. Sleep is so very important (used to be total insomniac) so I know how it affects everything. Yes, please up your calorie intake. Happy Humpers Day to you also

Thanks friends ♥️♥️♥️ it’s ok☺️ I’m just trying to find ways to deal with all the things this medicine brings. I have been trying to get things done earlier in the day on Wednesdays. I just don’t want anyone thinking I’m reducing my calories super low to lose weight. It’s not the way to do it❤️ I recognized all the factors that led to it, and I’m trying to figure it all out. This insomnia is a bit much. On days I log long hours, I go back to bed when my 12 year old goes to school and let my lil guy sleep in. I didn’t do my climber yet because I was stocking up at Costco. Water is flying off the shelves lol. 💜💚
