I have been dealing with the above diagnoses for many years now and am slowly starting to make head way.  I have one beautiful son to whom I thank for my initial diagnosis.  If I had not been having miscarriages trying to have a baby I may have not been diagnosed for many more years.  He has also been my rock (along with the hubby).  I had to quit working in 2003 and finally put on disability medical 6/08.  I am still in the appeals process for SSI.  My hubby and I have been happily married since 7/4/98.  I like many different things.  I really enjoy being a mom and hope someday to have another one.

I would like to be able to go back someday.

Mommy

Worked from Sep. 94 to July 2003 and had to quit working due to my health.  I still have a beacon of hope to maybe someday be able to return as I miss having the satisfaction of bringing home a paycheck.

Tons I have a library of 5000 and its still growing.  I don't have any one that I like more than the other.

Anything with a good singable tune to it.

Fried chicken, pizza, schnitzel, and tacos.  

I like murder mysteries, a few romance, and horror.

Systemic Lupus with antiphospholipid syndrome antibodies

Miscarriages, gallbladder, appendix, acid reflux, painful knees

acid reflux, teeth gone bad, severe aches and pains, sun sensitivity, rash, thyroid goiter, crohn's, severe burning in joints

Darvocet,Imuran, plaquenil, Levothriod, flexeril, vistaril, prednisone(during flares), multi vitamins, Vit. d, and calcium, ashwagandha

the Levothyrxine keeps giving me headaches so the endo is thinking bout switching to something else

Don't know it's up to the person as everyone is diff.

I hated being on cymbalta it just made the reflux unbearable

Could be better but is getting there. I just have to find a diff. regimen as I think I have been on darvocet for too long and it is not working like it used to and I am having to take more of it.
