Hey Dar,

Praise God for the Scholarship! You know your situation sounds more and more like mine. I was going to school full-time(college), working part-time and was pregnant with my daughter etc. After she was born my thumbs started literally locking in a open position. I almost dropped her so many times, but Praise God I didn't! I also had arthritis pain, a rash on my face (they call it a butterfly rash), fatique, a high ANA count and Sed rate etc. They did blood work etc and told me that it was S.Lupus.E. Four years later I started feeling real fatiqued again and this time they said it was fibromyalgia after testing certain trigger points on my body and monitoring my other symptoms. Since then, my health has just gotten worst and worst, but I refuse to give up so easy...Yes, I deal with depression along with my poor health, but as I know there is a God, I hold on and I hold on tight to Him! Jesus Christ My One and Only Savior! We'll make it through this...I promise, because I know that My God is real, powerful and can do all things! We'll make it.

I've joined the PAH support group because of my diagnosis of Borderline/Mild Pulmonary Hypertention. I also have multiple diagnosis such as Systemic Lupus (which is in remission-Praise God!), hiatal hernia, fibromyalgia, hypothyroidism (my thyroid has been removed),prinzmetal angina,tricuspid regurgitation,pulmonic regurgitation,and dilated cardiomyopathy (with a pacemaker/defibulator). With multiple health issues, I tire pretty easily, but people are very patient and understanding, and I praise God for this and all things.
