Hi, Suzzy,

 

I am sending you a virtual hug.  Hope you get it soon. Wink

 

We all go thru the denial process, Suzzy.  At least you have FMLA in place now, or will soon, and that is a very good thing.  No looking back, sweetie.  You are on your way to finding what is really going on with you and getting some meds to help. I know you have had trouble with the meds, too, and it has been rough. BUT, sounds like you have a good RD and he is determined to find out what is going on and help you. 

 

My Rx for you:  Rest...a lot...take your pain meds and/or prednisone or whatever combination of meds your RD has prescribed. Don't be so hard on yourself.  Don't give up hope. You just need to get on the right meds.  Hang out with that adorable grandson of yours and let him give gramma some love. Things will get better.

What does your RD say is causing the skin issues, Suzzy...Lupus, possibly?

Suzzy,

So sorry you are going through all of this. I guess the good thing is, you should have some answers soon. Knowledge is power and with a dx you can start researching and working with your doc on a medical plan as well. I really wish you the best and better days are ahead. We are all here for you!
