Hey All!!

Just wanted to stop by and let everybody know that I was able to break the 13-day fast last night. Woohoo for that! I have an appointment with my doctor on Monday specifically to talk about the eating disorder. I'm also going to ask him again for a referral to a rheumatologist. I don't know if he'll give me one because he doesn't want me to see a specialist because of the psych meds, but I'm still going to ask him again. Thank you to everybody who was very supportive over the last week I needed that.

Yay! That's a big step, I'm happy for you. I really hope they give you that referral to the rheumatologist, I feel that's your right to go. So what your on the psych meds? (Silly doctors) , tell them you will let the specialist know what meds you are already on. Good luck with everything, keeping you in my prayers

Excellent news! I'm sure that makes you feel good. Here's hoping your doc gives you a referral to a rheumy. They always take your medical history, and want to know about all your medications and supplements with the disagrees. I keep an updated list, and print it off when I go. Keep up the good work!

So proud of you! I hope it continues into the weekend. Praying your stupid doc will refer you to a rheumy. That makes no sense, rheumy docs know all about psych meds. Hugs and cheers for a good weekend.

    Welcome to the Perseid meteor showers, the "biggies" usually every year. (The Leonids beat 'em one year IMHO).AND today much of the northern hemisphere will see 5 to 99% solar eclipse. How cool is that? Your best bet is to be in the UK or norhtern Spain, where totality is excellent before sundown. Me, I'll get a super duper tiny itty bitty slice of it, so little that it won't be noticeable. New...
