Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I'd keep my discovery to myself, intensify my evaluation protocol, and make no serious commitments until the vetting comes up clean as a whistle.

Oh, sorry! Flashback.

six rechecks
1. French bulldog- long term encephaltis case, multiple relpases, currently doing well on immunosuppressant meds
2. Cat- bacterial encephalitis, extension of inner ear infection to the brain, currently back to normal on antibiotics, continue meds for 1 month more
3. Pitbull- long term multi relapse encephalitis case, severe gingival hyperplasia from cyclosporin, need to switch meds, neurologically stable
4. Mini poodle- epileptic currently being treated by someone else for suspect disc disease but I am concerned his unsteady gait is a side effect of one of his three anti-seizure meds
5. Elderly Pomeranian- brain symptoms, no advanced diagnostics due to anesthetic risk (bad heart), improved on symptomatic treatment
6. Pitbull- pinched nerve, long term case, annual recheck for the purpose of prescribing meds, doing well with occasional twinges
one new appointment- Ridgeback with back pain and hind leg weakness
one spinal MRI- Pug, long story, short version is 7 degenerated discs but I'm not sure any of those are actually his problem
one emergency Husky with maybe fulminant myasthenia gravis
one crazy homeless person in the parking lot- police called
one long term epileptic malamute with seizures- going home later
and babysitting a post-op spinal surgery German Shepherd of my colleague's

currently wrapping up my day
then drive home
leftovers ribs for dinner

watch part (seems like 27 or 30) of a Ken Burns documentary on the Roosevelts

you?

Yeah, I kind like it too. No BS. Reminds me of long-suffering spouse, whose hard head, open eyes, and stringent requirement for honesty have made our 43 year relationship possible. Just never look at the spreadsheet. It's not pretty.

Given we're in a similar part of the mouse drug cycle, it strengthens my suspicion that it's drug related.

And yes, I used my earlier post to calculate the time frame. It's almost like I blog here.

@ Addiction docs (- @LAJ)

I view the above as the drug wearing off/withdrawl symptoms. Is that how I would frame it in communicating to my witch doctor? Or is there a more specific term for it?

Unclear to me why I would become "dependent" on a TNF inhibitor. I didn't go through this phase with the other ones I've taken. But a similar thing has happened twice now and I have no alternative hypothesis.
