waiting...as always

Well I do not have RA. I have all the symptoms for it except that my fingers are not swollen and all my test results came back normal, LOL. So I have extreme pain (flu-like), gum disease, uveitis, lower back pain, extreme fatigue, UC and nodules on my LH palm but I do not have RA!! So much for finding a medication to help me. I guess back to the ol' Pain Clinic to try something else. I take cymbalta and tramadol and lots of tylenol for my pain but it's working less and less. Maybe there is something else to try. I will post on the FM page here and see if anyone has tried other medications. 

On another note, my medical bills are piling up. I need to find a job. I was going to try to teach this coming school year but no school district will hire me. I will just teach privately and hope to get enough gigs to supplement our income. I have another option of trying to find something that is not music related but I don't think I would be terribly happy doing something else. I even posted my resume with the Houston Symphony and no bites. Maybe they would hire me as an usher... I refuse to get discouraged or depressed! Onward in a new direction! 

My mom will be here in a couple of weeks. I'm desperately trying to get my house in order and cleaned. It is a major undertaking and as the date gets closer, my energy and determination are waning. Fortunately, I have an extremely loving and suppportive husband. After a long week of work, he came home last night and cooked dinner. He is amazing and does not know how much I love him. I try to do as much as I can but you know how it is; each day is different. It is by sheer will power that I get anything done.
