Hi All! Just a quick note to share a little about myself. My profile is still incomplete but it does give a fair idea of what I deal with on a daily basis. Sojgren's is still pending confirmation but my docs all opine that they are confident the tests will be conclusive. Thats just based on my symptoms, examination and lab results that are back. Me?? I'd rather wait for the whole enchilada before they tack another name to the board.

I'm trying my best to cope with;

Fibromyalgia

Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

Intractable Pain

Depression.........Menieres, RSD......crazy but I think I've left something out....

Dizzy

On a positive spin.....I am blessed with a wonderful husband and 4 daughters. My daughters are 28, 26, 15, 12. The two oldest have given me between them 5 beautiful grandchildren. My family is so very understanding of my 'issues' but they can not fully understand my pain. It takes a person who also deals with Chronic Pain to truly get it.

I'm looking forward to getting to know you. Thanks for reading........

Deb
