Hello mY friends!

[Guest guest]

It has been awhile since I checked in to see how everyone is...

I just moved recently from an apartment to my own house (with hubby

and kid in tow)

The move was ENOURMOUSLY stressful and really played havok with my

body-- There were days I worked 16 hours straight and my body just

QUIT on me.

Anyway-- some of you may remember that I wasn't sure if I was a Lupus

canidate or not. I was awaiting a blood test to see if my first test

was a false positive-- Well according to the last lab test it did not

show any autoantibodies which is good-- My doc is not 100% convinced

so she took some blood again today-- YIKES that hurts!

I am being sent to a rhemotoid specialist (not sure what to expect

here) and I am also being put on Doxepin (to help me sleep) and

Tomapax to help with pain (Especially that darn headache pain I can't

seem to go away) HAS ANYONE TRIED THESE DRUGS... DO THEY WORK-- I am

SUCH A NO DRUG person so it makes me nervous-- but fact is I am in SO

MUCH DARN PAIN I think I'd try anything at this point!!! LOL!

Also-- you guys will LOVE this--- I went to a specialist on sinuses

(Seems if your primary Doc doesn't know what to do he sends you to

other people! LOL!) ANYWAY-- this doctor said " I don't think you have

allergies-- have you ever considered a brain tumor!! " OMY!!!! I about

laughed myself silly------- what a jerk!!

Anyway-- still in pain (More then I have ever been in) and I wish I

had an answer--- Doc thinks either Lupus or Fibromayalgia (SP?) and

to be honest I really don't care what it is I just want out of PAIN!

Look forward to catching up on past posts and also from hearing from

you all.

ALSO one other questions-- does anyone have trouble with their

moods... It seems I am quick to cry and quick to get angry (NOT at

ALL like me as I am normally a really low key gal) Curious to know

and see how YOU deal with it-- any tips I could really, really use!

XOXO Jill
