About Me
I was so happy to find everyone on this site. Thank you to all for the support and advise I have received. My prayers are with all of you so that you can feel better. Let us not lose hope---- About me in a nut shell----I am 37 years old. I was Dx. with Fibromyalgia in 2002. I tried my best to live with it, and did not take any meds for it. I struggled with it for years. With some days being worse that others. Last year I think I went into remission because I even went back to work-part time and I felt great! Suddenly in April of this year 2009 I just went down hill. I thought it was another Fibro. flare-but after tons of vistits to the ER-and tons of blood work (you all know what its like) at first doc. said it was Lupus, now my Dx. is UCTD--- I just went on Plaq. and I hope it helps me feel better. I have a wonderful husband, and two girls 10 and 9-I also have great parents and a brother. I love my family and they the reason I push myself out of bed each morning. It is my hope that God will allow me to be here with them for many many more years to come...

I’m With You
Hope u r doing well. Is the plaquinel helping? I can truly feel your pain. I'm sure u r busy w/ your family & illness, but if u get a chance consider writing a journal entry so we can keep up w/ how u r doing. It also does make u feel better after venting & I'm not a big journal writing type of person. Also I am an animal lover so maybe u will consider up loading pics of your cats. My dogs & cat make me smile 2. Hope 2 hear from u soon. Best Wishes.

Hug
Oops. Hit send 2 soon. Anyway, the prednisone helps me b/c my hands swell & hurt which causes me 2 drop things frequently which is frustrating. The wt gain from
fluid retention is bad but hopefully the daily prednisone will b stopped when the MTX begins. If I have 2 hear 1 more person makes a comment about my chubby face I think I'll go off. Have you considered writing any updated journal entries? I just like keeping up w/ how my friends here r doing. God Bleds -
Shout Out
Just thought I'd check n & c how things r going. Have u still been able 2 work? Has the plaquinel been helpful? I can't tell much difference since taking the plaquinel & n Nov it'll b 8mo. so they're going 2 change it 2 MTX inj @ that time b/c it will have been an appropriate x trial. The prednisone helps wonders b/c my hands hurt & swell causing me 2 frequently.
