I am really glad to have the opportunity
to share with all of you! I do not know
anyone who has the health issues I deal
with, and have been feeling really
isolated.
I was diagnosed with lupus and
fibromyalgia a little over a year ago.
The diagnosis came after almost 8 years of
extreme fatigue, widespread pain, lots of
sudden drug allergies, constant sinus and
respritory illnesses, and picking up every
little bug that came my way. I was a
teacher and was always sick. My primary
Dr. Tried to help, but nothing seemed to
help. He finally (after trying every
drug known to man) referred me to a
rheumatologist who figured it out. There
is no history of lupus in my family, and
everyone else in my family is strong and
healthy. I have a history of mono (5
times), athsma, and allergies. I quit
teaching in march, and at this point
cannot imagine ever going back to work.
My husband and I moved to az. Injune from
southwest fla. Between my poor health,
the principal from hell and living through
too many hurricane seasons, I was
completely burned out. I have been
sleeping for months! The lack of
humidity in az. Has helped. I just
wonder if I will ever feel human again!
Thank you for letting me get this all out.
Other people just don't understand!
