268/365 ~ Currently Loving | Handiwork | Raw Material(s) | Leisure Activity
This kinda-sorta fits into the idea today. My husband has had psoriatic arthritis for 7 years. Early on, symptoms weren't so bad... Within the last 3 years things got worse quite quickly and finally (and grudgingly) he decided medicine would be necessary. The doctors first tried multiple drugs in pill form and some actually made him worse. It took a full 2 years before we were finally informed of an injectable medicine (Humira) that sounded very promising. His very first injection was January 9 this year. He needs me to do this for him because the injection takes about 10 minutes due to the horrible burning sensation it causes. Things got so much better for him until about a month ago when his doctor said that the Humira isn’t actually keeping up for him. So, after 18 injections of that (every other week) he finally started a new medication last week called Cosentyx. He will be on a regimen of once weekly shots for 5 weeks and then just one injection a month after! AND! This one doesn’t hurt him!! So I am absolutely loving that fact and he doesn’t mind leisurely resting as I still do this for him (because even though this one doesn’t hurt ~ he really doesn’t like needles).

Danette BadgerThis is my FIFTH challenge! I completed an entire 365 in 2014. In 2015, I tried to do something different and failed miserably so after finishing 2016 successfully I just had to keep going in 2017 and 2018! I am part of an amazing group of talented photographers who post an image from an interpretation of a prompt that we receive every day in our e-mail. It's so neat to see how differently a person perceives a simple word or concept and how they translate that into a photograph. I enjoy this challenge very much and I am looking forward to seeing what 2019 brings! Archives
