Hello.
I was diagnosed last Wed by a rheumatologist. I have been diagnosed with Lyme disease, Lupus, MS, AS etc. Until I finally was able to see the rhuemy.
It is a relief as this diseases' prognosis is not as debilitating as some of the choices. And I finally feel like maybe I can start to properly care for myself based on this dx.
For many years I drank to cover my pain, depression and axiety. Sober for four years now, it is a struggle to find pain relief, I used to run and do a lot of work out side, now I struggle just to get through my full time job.
It is tough to see my home go messy (I am really fussy about a clean home) but I just don't have the energy. My husband has a hard time with my lack of energy. He is supportive, but after 20 years of pain, complaining, drinking problems..... He is a trooper.
Most days I am not too bad, but I do flare up and then it seems like my mobility is affected more and more after each flare.
Thank you for allowing me to join, I look forward to sharing.
