Rheum

Busy, busy day. I have no energy left. Just extreme nausea. I saw my Rheumatologist today. I've been seeing Dr. Scroggie since I was 13 so he has known me longer than any of my specialists. I told him the Cimzia + Imuran combo has improved my joint pain. He said that was good & asked me about all my GI issues. I told him about the TP tube and how we night eventually do surgery to put in a GJ tube. Turns out his daughter has a permanent feeding tube so he offered a lot of advice from his personal experience and said he agrees with Dr. King that I need a feeding tube but I should get it placed locally in case I throw up the tube or in case I have surgery for the GJ tube and it comes out of my tummy etc. so I could just go to Providence(close hospital to me)& get them to replace it.
