Guest guest Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Finally some diagnosis... Fibromyalgia and Sjogren's....my ana SSA and SSB are positive along with elevated CRP and SED Rates... I've been testing RA and ANA for many years because I have had one illness after another including chronic sinusitis for all my life... Seems like I might have a day or so feeling good then bam, I can barely move and can't get enough rest. I used to work out everyday... but seems like every three weeks or so..I'd be taking the day off or the week or two off to get overy what I had gotten, so now I just consider a gym or DR office another place to get germs... As it turns out, my sinusitis was a little more severe....I had a bone infection in my facial bone and upper jaw.. nasty one,, spent several courses on IV antibiotcs...and am missing now all my upper left teeth at 38.. I am 41 one. Everytime I would get tested for allergies, EVERY SINGLE ONE would come back positive. and the normal Zyrtec and Claritin helped but not much. In my late 20's I started getting arthritis and alot of swelling and stiffness in my joints...and my muscles are in spasm most of the time...I am sure you all know and can relate... happy to have a DX so I can get treated now!! hopefully this will improve my quality of life and I can get back to skiing a bit... how I loved to smile and ski... can't do either now. warm regards, Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 i would be very careful about skiing-aerobic exercising is very bad for us. In 1991, I was doing aerobic exercising and I relapsed and spent the next year bedridden-just as sick as I was in 1977 when I contracted CFIDS/ME. Also, i had 13 teeth extracted last year and tried wearing partials but was unable to due to severe jaw pain-am going to try the flexible partials (made by Valplast) to see if I can tolerate them. Can understand all of the life's losses that go along with CFIDS-including loosing teeth-people used to tell me what a nice smile I had-gone now. and Certainly no more aerobic exercise for me-except for a brief dog walk daily that I can seem to tolerate-but had to work up to it. diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
