Yeah. Catch your attention? That's what I'm dealing with right now. I applied for life insurance and was basically denied by a well known company because 1) they are uneducated (and refuse to get educated) about Sjogren's Syndrome, 2) they are concerned...
Okay, I've been away. Not literally, just been swamped with other things, and generally by the time I can type at night, I can't. Read on to see why. An update on where I am: My neck and back are still bothering me. After months of seeing a chiropractor...
Nearly two days ago I started to feel some pressure (almost like a bruise), so I gave it a day thinking it might just pass. However, yesterday morning while I was trying to pick up the house I still could feel it, so I called and left a message for the...
Yup, it's there. Somewhere my normally functioning brain is taking a vacation. I missed my OB appointment this week. Not because I was busy, but just because I forgot about it until tonight...only to realize it was Monday morning. And what was I doing...
I kind of had the type of day on Monday. Last week following my appointment with my primary OB practice, I realized there were a few things I needed to talk with one of their receptionist about. The first one being that my bi-weekly appointments with...
I broke down and called my rheumatologist this afternoon and left a message inquiring whether Plaquenil could be making me more tired than I was before taking it. Seems counterintuitive, but anything's possible, right? I did look around online for other...
A few people have asked me if I've noticed a difference after being on 200mg/day of Plaquenil after 2 weeks. Well, if feeling MORE tired is a difference, yeah. Not sure if it's at all possible for fatigue to be a side effect of the medication, as it was...
I met with my rheumatologist this morning for my first appointment after finding out I was pregnant. Overall, a simple visit - no blood work or labs required. The labs from my last round of blood work indicate that my SSA (La) and SSB (Ro) levels have...
I had my first visit with my primary OB this afternoon. Definitely exciting, and as my husband, my son in his winter suit packed into his stroller like that kid from A Christmas Story, and I huddled in a room with the sterile table, a bunch of rolling...
I'm starting to notice just how dry my eyes are. My husband surprised me with tickets to Wicked last night - what a fabulous musical! I've read the book (actually back in college a friend of mine recommended it, so that was over 12 years ago...), and...
Here we are coming up on Thanksgiving, and I know how thankful I should be for all of the things in my life. Our wonderful healthy son, that I'm able to stay home full time with him, that we'll have all of our family together again for the holiday, that...
When I was 9 months pregnant and patiently waiting (I was a happy pregnant mom-to-be) for the arrival of my son I started to notice a now too common trend...my memory wasn't what it used to be. You know the saying an elephant never forgets? I'm the elephant...
I, along with many movie goers, thought it was neat that in the Spiderman movies he had a velcro-like quality to his hands that enabled him to "stick" to anything. Of course when that happens, you don't realize you do "stick" to everything. It especially...
I've made it three nights with the brace, and have actually found it comfortable to wear at night...just as long as I'm not trying to do anything. Tried to hold my husband's hand last night...not quite possible. My son crawled into bed the other morning...
I really didn't think I'd ever need to make a trip to a medical supply store unless I was either shopping for an older relative or I was in some type of severe accident. Who would have thought I would be there to get custom fit for a wrist brace for carpal...
