    • See You Later

      From shadeseeker October 1

      I am loving the cooler day today. Just need the afternoon to lower a little bit more. Still in so much pain but it helps my mental state SO much, How about you? No, I never did tai chi. I am thinking about yoga but I can never find the time! How are you feeling since you've been out of the hospital? Recovering okay?

    • Close Lupus

      After being really sick over the summer and spending time in and out of the hospital I have just been diagnosed with lupus and sjogrens syndrome this past week. I am very new to all of this and have a lot to learn.

      Treatments

      Plaquenil Too Soon to Tell
    • Close Diabetes Type 2

      I was diagnosed with diabetes about 5 years ago. I've had a hard time keeping my sugar regulated since the summer when I got really sick. I'm now on Byetta and it seems to be helping.

      Treatments

      Byetta Working / Worked
      I've been on Byetta for about 3 weeks and have had no problems. It started working immediately and I've lost about 10 lbs.
      Metformin Somewhat Helpful
      Metformin has been helpful in the past until I got sick and I've also just been diagnosed with lupus so that may be contributing to my problems.

      I've had hypothyroidism for about 4 years now.

      Treatments
