It seems like no one knows anything about Mary Ann’s sacral cyste. I’m not that surprised about it since I had big difficulties to find some in Danish about it. So maybe it’s very rare thing. I will have to ask the doctor tomorrow. Her nails have to be rubbed off while they are wet. We will try that tomorrow when we give her a bath. She smells of baby now and not of this strange smell that the whole ward is permeated with.

I went to the rheumatologist today. I will start on some new medicine to relief the pain I have more and more. The pain has increased since I use my arms in another way now holding Mary Ann. I have a headache like never before and pain in my back, neck and shoulders. Nothing seems to help. I can only be given massage once a week by my physiotherapist. I need at least twice a week. I still go to water aerobics four times a week. So the only thing left for me to do is taking server medicine. The medicine also puts a stopper for the development of the rheumatism itself. I also need that desperately. Now I’m not pregnant anymore, therefore I will start already today. The doctor gave me some Prednisone which I only can take shortly because of all the side affects. In January I will have to start something else. In the meanwhile the doctor will test me to make sure I’m healthy enough with heart and lever to take Methotrexate from January. I look forward for the Prednisone to work in few days, but dread that I will put on a lot of weight like last time when I was teenager. On the other hand, I also thought I would put on a lot of weight during the pregnancy which I didn’t.
