this isn't funny

sleep evaded me last night...i was SO looking forward to sleeping after a long day and it just wasn't happening!

11:00 - off to sleep
1:30 - up to pee (i drank some water before bed so this was fine)
2:30 - up with a cramp in my foot (hate those)
3:45 - up with a cramp in my other foot (okay, enough already)
4:30 - up with cramp in my calf and foot (seriously?) and to pee, stayed awake until 5:00
5:45 - up...why? i don't know, maybe to listen to the birds
6:15 - up for good

on a somewhat better note, i think we figured out a plan for the immediate future. i think i'll restart the Enbrel to get the disease under control. then i'll wean back off of it while remaining on prednisone to prevent a flare. we'll try to get pregnant during this period and see how it goes. i was feeling like going back on the Enbrel would be like an end of us trying for a natural pregnancy, but it doesn't have to be. we can just use it as a method to gain control and then stop it again. makes me a little more hopeful.

the face is still crazy puffy. we've noticed that it gets worse as the day goes on. my knee and ankle are swollen again too, but i think this is the disease and not the prednisone. today needs to be a rest day for me...been too busy this weekend. when the steroids are making me feel so good i tend to go overboard without noticing. maybe a nap is in order this afternoon after that glorious night sleep that i had.
