Truxima infusion

Yay finally, infusion set for Thursday, 2 days to go, as long as my blood tests don't do a dicky fit (excuse the term, don't mean to offend). I did have an infusion in December but I've gone 21 months, with a couple of Dmard attempts only taking painkillers which only do so much. Most of the current Dmards affect my liver, the reason for the long term off meds. Anyway, with luck, fingers crossed everyone it'll happen Thursday and I might eventually get onto a new immunosuppressant? I will get there 😁👍

That's one word for it but I've got a bet on that I won't swear for a whole day. Tomorrow will be blue
