Guest guest Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 Hi Everyone, My crazy week is over, and now I'm back to just " too busy " . The house is getting very close to being done and should be on the market in about two more weeks. It's getting really nice, and now we're leaving. Guess that's how it goes when one does " fixer-uppers " for income. Saw the Rheumy on Friday. She took me off Plaquenil. I've been taking it for 8 months with no results. I'm going off it for a month to see if I notice any difference in how I feel. So, now I'm not taking anything except Darvocet and Trazadone at night so I can at least have a chance at falling asleep. I just have to live with the pain and fatigue till I get bad enough for steriods I guess. Everything else makes me too sick to function. I've been having some brain stuff where I go blank, can't concentrate, can't find simple words when in the middle of a conversation,...stuff like that. My GP thought I might be getting Lupus inflamation in my brain. My Rheumy said it's not lupus, it's something else. She's going to ask my GP to send me to a neurologist. I've already had an MRI that turned up normal. What scared me is that she asked me if anyone in my family has Alzheimers. My grandfather died of it. Sooooooo, I'm worried. I'm trying not to think about it....so of course it's all I can think about. I know worrying won't help anything....but I just keep going to " what if " land. Guess it's a good thing I have lots to do on the house to keep me distracted. Anway, that's my great news from last week. Luckily this is a new week and all kinds of wonderful and good things are out there making their way to us all. Have a great week everyone.
