About Me
I was diagnosed with Epilepsy in 2006; Crohn's Disease in 2008; and my Rheumatologist now thinks that I may have Lupus and possibly Fibromyalgia. I am trying to learn how to accept and manage my illnesses. I just need some support and encouragement to get there.

I love reading. I also love any outdoor activity. I enjoy swimming, taking walks, taking my kids for bike rides, and spending time at the park with them. I love to watch my kids softball games.

Close Fibromyalgia
I may have Fibromyalgia and my doctor thinks that I may have Lupus.
Treatments
- Heat Working / Worked
- I use heating pads when I go to bed, and when I wake up my pain is not as bad, for at least an hour or so. I have a heating pad that you put in the microwave and you can use it anywhere. That helps me during the day.
- Lyrica Too Soon to Tell
- My pain is still debilitating, but it is not as severe as before. I have only been on it for about a week, my doc says that I need to be patient and give it time to start working.
- Hydrocodone Working / Worked
- As much as I dont want to be on a controlled substance it seems to be the only thing that dulls the pain enough for me to function during the day.
- Fioricet Working / Worked
- I use this for the pain in my head neck and behind my eyes. This helps me function daily.
Close Lupus
My Rheumatologist thinks that I might have Lupus. I am awaiting bloodwork results to find out.
Treatments
- Azathioprine Not Working
- I took this medication because I also have Crohn's disease. I was allergic to it and developed hives.
- Prednisone Not Working
- This made my pain much worse, to the point where painkillers were not even helping it.
