Life as always has been quite caotic, my husbands family's health is not well and we are very concerned but unfortunatly our hands are tied and all we can offer is emotional support but quite frankly they need soo much more than that. I have been diagnosed with an auto immune disease and the are trying to narrow down which one, first on the list is Lupus, we are waiting for the results of the latest blood work. I am in thyroid failure so we don't know what will happen with that they are trying to adjust meds but so far the levels have not improved. Pain management is also difficult so we are now doing morphine patches, Loratab and Zofran plus all the other meds like flexeril for the numerous muscle cramps, lyrica fro the nerve pain, meds for the depression and anxiety. I am beginning to feel like a walking pharmacy I wish with all the research out there they could find a med that would be all these things in one pill. Well I guess that is the end of my rant, now it is time to brush things off and proceed with vigor. As I've always been told what won't kill me only makes me stronger and I have a wonderful husband and step son that need me to have it together so to all who may read this please pray for our household and feel free to kick me in the butt when I need it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
