Sorry folks, I need to whine.... I've got body aches to rival one of my worst flares, sinuses are swollen and hurt, sore throat, alternating chills and hot, headache, exhausted, hurts to breathe... I just plain feel like crap. It will be Monday at the earliest before I get test results. Gawd I just want this over.

I can't even imagine what you're going through! I'm hoping and praying that these results are negative too ... |

I’ve been dealing with health insurance crap. People that say Medicare for all have no clue. Once you have insurance they go over and beyond to cover only the bare minimum.
After waiting three weeks for insurance to approve an injunction similar to a epipen. It’s for my Hereditary Angioedema. I was approved on last Friday now it’s a matter of finding funding for the injection. Meanwhile my immunology specialist has suggested another injection which is administered every four weeks for my Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria. The injection is $30,000 per year. __________________ #SpoonieStrong Spoons are a visual representation used as a unit of measure to quantify how much energy individuals with disabilities and chronic illnesses have throughout a given day. 1).

My results came back negative. I still feel like crap though. Not sure what to do next. I don'thave a primary care doc. Maybe I'll try teladoc or doc in a box.
I just scheduled an appt at a local doc in a box. Last edited by lizardlady; Oct 04, 2020 at 08:48 AM.. |

Went to the doc in a box this afternoon. As I suspected all along I have a sinus infection which exacerbated my asthma. I have a baggy of drugs to take. At least I have an answer now and meds to treat it.

liz, sinus infections aren't any fun. I hope your baggy of meds gets you fixed up soon.
What distresses me is that COVID19 can cause body aches and such. Just what sufferers of fibro need! More pain.... |

I came across this post and had to share it. 💜💜💜
♻️♻️♻️ RePosted @withregram • @worrywellbeing Over the past few days, I’ve been struggling and having dealt with mental health problems for a long time, I’ve learnt to recognise the signs that I’m finding things harder than usual. I can’t really pinpoint what’s wrong, I just don’t feel right. I’ve been finding it hard to get up in the mornings, I’ve had panic attacks (something I haven’t experienced in months), my thoughts have felt completely uncontrollable. If you’re going through a difficult time at the moment, you’re not alone. I’m not sure what the answers are, this account has never been about giving advice and telling people how to be happy, it’s about me being honest, sharing my experiences, sharing things that have helped me, reminding you that you’re not alone. I am struggling at the moment, but that’s okay. And if you’re struggling, that’s okay. You will get through this. Recognising you are struggling is the first important step in helping yourself feel better💚 __________________ #SpoonieStrong Spoons are a visual representation used as a unit of measure to quantify how much energy individuals with disabilities and chronic illnesses have throughout a given day. 1).

Whew, Two!
Great news again, @lizardlady ... I hope the meds knock that sinus infection out and you're pfeeling better soon. I also hope that your good boss realizes the implications of having in person meet-ups and allows you to go back to teleworking. Some people are more at risk than others and should be given extra special considerations! |

The first few days I take new meds they kick my behind. It's getting kicked hard. On the other hand I seem to be breathing a little better sand coughing less.
They gave me an asthma med that makes me a little shakey when I use my inhaler. They also gave it to me to use in a nebulizer. Boy howdy, I was shaking all other like a leaf in a hurricane. I'm going to have to time using it to not interfere with things from now on. |

The last two days I’ve been in a lot of pain. When weather fluctuations happen I get flares from my autoimmune illnesses. I have continued walking 15-20 minutes each day. My legs, shoulders, back and torso experience severe pain.
I’ve been utilizing my cannabis license seeking to reduce my pain and other symptoms. Yesterday I had a Zoom meeting to receive training on a new treatment for my Hereditary Angioedema. I watched a video a few days prior. I’m very nervous to be honest. I have experience administering my Epipen which the needle is not visible. However this new treatment injection the needle is visible. It gets very overwhelming constantly juggling multiple autoimmune diseases/rare diseases. __________________ #SpoonieStrong Spoons are a visual representation used as a unit of measure to quantify how much energy individuals with disabilities and chronic illnesses have throughout a given day. 1).

So yeah.. I have Rhuemy appt on Monday just a follow up, I am hurting PsA and Fibro of course .. Hate it all ! and winter will probably mow down Fall. Fall is my favorite time of the year.. Liz are you okay? Nebulizing has me shaky as hell too ... But hey we gotta breathe.. Hope your feeling better. Pfrog glad the seat helps! Coco, Yeahhh the weather is a killer to me too, right now especially RV im sorry showering is such a hard thing but I can so relate. I usually jump in and out quick, Sometimes the water in a shower feels like knives.. Much love to Everyone ,Gentle hugs __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

Pfrog, good news about the new seat!
RV, I'm sorry showers are so hard for you. Christina, glad you got good results on tests. This damn disorder is so weird. RV struggles with showers. They are a good send for me helping ease the pain away. A friend suffers horribly in hot weather and loves the cold. I am the opposite. I'm not sure what's going on with the sinus infection/asthma. I stupidly did not use the nebulizer Thursday. I really hate the shaking. I know the shaking is because of the med. It's a physical reaction, but my brain registers it as the way I feel when anxious. Add to that I worked around the farm and my mom's house the last couple of days. Bottom line is I feel like poop today. Going to spend the day vegging to see if it helps. |

Spent my special anniversary doing a little leaf peeping yesterday ...
The trees are just starting to put on a little show up there in the N. Georgia Mountains. Getting around gets more and more difficult every day, so I'm hoping this wasn't my last mountain road trip, but ... I made sure to enjoy it extra special just in case!
