a damaged

disease.

Thanks, Lea. I slept last night during 'normal' hours, which is very good with

the insomnia

I have had lately. I do have some kind of virus (according to doc who said

throat & ear are

red), and now it is in my 'nose'. I suspect this is why I have been feeling so

terribly tired,

too. SO I am taking it easy and snuggling with my chunky monkey poodle in bed.

I hate going to doctors, Lea. But as you know, sometimes it is what we have to

do!

I finally got off my tuckus and made some appointments that I had put off - the

rheumatologist, the endrocronologist, an opthamologist (since I take plaquenil)

etc.

Maybe that will be enough for the next year. lol

I am not a big 'doctor' fan.
