Going back to the doctor tomorrow, the Christmas Blues and Lupus.....

[Guest guest]

I hope everyone is doing well tonight. I go back to the doctor

tomorrow after my first 6 weeks on Plaquenil. Honestly, the only

improvement I can tell so far is the fatigue is less. What should I

expect next? I always get the blues this time of year and am not

looking forward to this visit.

Also, my daughter who joined the group a couple of months ago after

being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia woke up this morning with all the

lymph nodes in her neck, arms and armpits swollen up. She even has

knots and swelling in front of her ears! She was tested for Lupus

the day the dr. diagnosed her Fibro but didn't go back for the next

appointment because both of her children were very sick that day.

Naturally, her rescheduled appointment was not until January. Does

Lupus display this type of symptom? When she was a child she had a

similar incident and we were told she had leukemia. Fortunatley, it

wasn't, but they never were able to find what it was. After weeks of

antibiotics they finally went down. They put her on antibiotics

today and told her to come back Tuesday. Please pray with me that

it's not leukemia or Lupus. She has two small children.

Thank you all for answering my questions and offering such good

advise always. I'm glad you're here!
