Bah Humbug!
Went to the rheumy today and told him my long story of continuing pain, fatigue and brain fog. His answer? He increased my gabapentin by 300mg (taken in the morning) wants to repeat blood tests for ESR, Rh factor, ANA, and complete blood count. Will get those test results later in the week. With my luck will probably not show anything! When I mentioned disability he said "Well u could but it's not recommended because of decreased income". Like I'm earning so much less right now!
Went to work even though I feel like crap and I didn't want to call in sick. Also when I did try to call I couldn't reach a supervisor. During my shift my boss asks me how I'm doing I reply, "hanging in there". Later though I managed to drop a stack of bowls on the floor (crash!! rattle, rattle!!). She came in asked me if I'm okay, I told her the truth and she let me go home. Feel like I don't know what to do. Feel the worst I have since being diagnosed! AAaacckk!

I hope that the increase in Gaba helps you to feel better. If you had an idea of what might help you feel even a little bit better, like lidoderm patches or a TENS unit, maybe you could ask the pain management Dr about that? Don\'t know honey. Like they do anything much with the blood work...my ANA is really low - so? He dx me with sero-neg RA. I hope you have a better day tomorrow!!! (((HUGS)))
I\'m betting all the stress about Hubby finding work has you in a terrible flare. Hang in there! It can only get better from here, right? *HUGS*
