    Tuesday, July 1, 2008 | An Anxious story

    I think it's all catching up to me...I had a mild Lupus Flare today and slept almost the entire day. I'm also having some real anxiety because Stacia's soon to be ex husband called and wants his visitation of their 20month old son Tristen. He's supposed to have him the 1st and 3rd weekend of the month. Also in the papers each parent gets to have their son on their own birthday and...

    Wednesday, April 1, 2009 | An Anxious story

    This is not one of my positive entries.  My family just received some very crushing news, my husband lost his job.  They are downsizing because of the economy and my health insurance will be gone after April 30th.  I don't know what I will do.  I don't know how to pay the doctor's.  I don't know how we will pay the bills.  I don't know if we will ...

    At least I got on the phone. Spent ALL DAY facing brick walls, being fobbed off and crying.
    I DID get something positive out of it though. 
    In desperation, I called my GI and the consultant nurse listened to the whole thing and completely got it. she assured me she was "on it" now, that she would write a fax to the dentists on the GI's headed notepaper and make the case...
