Today is a much better day. I finally got some real sleep. It required a night time cocktail of flexeril, darvocet and ambien but... I have taken your advice and order the lupus book. I can't wait to read it and that's funny b/c I hate to read. I also believe that the knowledge is the best to tame fear. THANK You for everything.

HI LYNNE, I READ YOUR MEDICAL ISSUES, AND IM SO SORRY. I HOPE TODAY YOUR FEELING BETTER. I HAVE THYROID DIEASE, AND SUFFER FROM BILATERAL TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA. IM LOOKING FOR PEOPLE, WHO I CAN SHARE WITH AND LEARN FROM. I HAVE SEVERAL PHYSICIANS, OF WHICH ALL DISAGREE WITH EACH OTHERS DIAGNOSES. I WAS TOLD I HAD LUPUS, AND MULTIPLE SCLEROSS.
HOWEVER, THE SPINAL TAP WAS NORMAL, OUT OF THE FIVE DR'S THREE AGREE TO THE M.S. WHILE THE OTHER TWO FEEL IT'S LUPUS. MY QUESTION IS CAN THERE BE A LINK? THEY ALL AGREE UPON THE T.N..
IF YOU HAVE ANY LINKS OR MORE READS, PLEASE PASS THEM ON.

GOD BLESS, LITLEFAWN3

My Diary
Diary Description: I've been known to rant and rave (politely), tell a few jokes. Most days these past 4 years have been more quasi-predictable when I think of when it all began many years ago.

My diagnoses are Myasthenia Gravis, SLE (lupus), Graves' Disease (post-ablative RAI-131 in 1997), other CNS issues, cord compression in cervical, thoracic and sacral spine areas; mod-severe OA; TIA in 2005. Other issues.

I'm here to share and care.
