Im not sure sure why I still have this but I do.... here it is four in the morning and the anxiety has already kicked in. I feel I can trust the doctor im seeing today.
I have been getting worse with my RA...im not sure if its the weather, my hormones, or my diet slope.
So I decided to talk to my doctor about different treatment for my ra Depression has already sunk in with the thought of august being here. I feel after September its winter. Winter makes me cry a lot. Winter/fall/spring = agony for my joints.
I've also come to terms with the diagnosis of fybromyalgia and am ready to start treatment for it.
I have my list of questions, meds, notes, all ready to go.
I feel im loosing good days again. However.....im not loosing spoons!!!
This week is a busy one for Team Knaup we have a dance for a cure in olney hosted by my team mate lori! I've been down right excited about the dance....but then I got even better news.... my team captain beverly Knaup has traveled all the way from california to join in on everything...absolutley ecstatic about that!
In fact I got to meet miss beverly yesterday. For my gentle readers who don't know who she is....she is an amazing girl who flew f-16s...turned lupus fighter. She is the first person I ever talked to about my diagnosis. Beverly continues to fight for her life...and even with her struggles still manages to help others like me cope, understand, deal with the heavy burnden of lupus. AND TO BOOT she is my team captain of the walk for lupus now fundraiser!
We officially met yesterday and I felt absolutley at ease with her like it was normal for us to meet for lunch like we have been doing it for years. It finally felt great to be around someone who just knows. Knows about my worry of the sun and heat with out even mentioning it! Knows why im more sluggish then most... I didn't feel alone. I felt stronger just by being around her.. I've never really associated with to many lupus fighters...it felt amazing.
