I have excellent news on my health front that I wanted to share with you all. I saw the rheumatologist today. I was diagnosed with Raynauds Syndrome and Connective Tissue Disease. The PA said based on my symptoms and physical examination, I could be diagnosed with "negative rheumatoid arthritis". Pretty much my blood work looks negative but everything else is positive. They're starting me on plaquenil. The doctor was not happy that my PCP let me go so long without any treatment. He said it's going to take a long time for me to feel okay. But I'm just thrilled to have a diagnosis! Muffyn, my thoughts are with you and your brother! I hope he is okay. Family stuff is never fun to deal with.

Missy, my thoughts are with the baby and family! No child deserves to suffer. HFC, I love baby smiles! That brightened my day! To everyone, thank you for your support and information! I have started looking at everything you have linked to! I ended up chickening out and cancelled the appointment. I have this overwhelming bad feeling about this guy. I talked to my mom and sure enough she did as well. We've learned to always trust our gut, we're both very intuitive. I've been struggling with an unrelated issue with my liver/pancreas/gallbladder area the past week as well as a UTI. It's like my whole body is spazzing out right now. But when I'm feeling a bit better, I am going to call and see if I can see a different doctor in that clinic. My grandma sees one there that she likes.

My PA diagnosed me with hypothyroidism. She put me on synthroid. I was miserable on it. Hot flashes. Fatigue. It was awful. I told my PA, and she set me up with an endocrinologist. I see him on Friday. I'm nervous because the doctor doesn't have high reviews. I am on medicaid, so I don't have options for shopping around. I don't know what to think of it all. The only thing my doctor is going off of is my TSH level. And it was only abnormal once.

I personally prefer Ben and Jerry's. But seriously, if Ben wasn't fundie, he'd have fake black hair hanging I'm his eyes, with black nail polish. He's soooo emo. ;)

I'm at that point too. The minute there's no pain, then I worry. Lol!

The onus of proof would fall on the plaintiff no matter what, in this case Danica. Her team would have to prove that Josh was there. The defendant doesn't have to even have a defense. It sure as hell helps though! But since she is the one claiming it happened, it would be on her to prove it. It would be like if I said that you dented my car, and I took you to court for damages. It would be up to me to prove that you are the one who dented my car. You wouldn't have to prove anything, but if you had definitive proof that you were not guilty then you could use that to help prove my case wrong.

Because IG sucks and doesn't have the actual date,I had to go and do math and use a calandar. The picture was uploaded 125 weeks ago, which puts it approximately around August 17, 2013. Which is not at all in the time frame of Danica Dillon's allegations. He said he was passing through, and I think that's the truth. Shortly after that he posted a picture of the Ohio boarder.

I don't think it's offensive to offer prayers, and I'm not religious. Personally I think it says that the person is thinking about me and wishing well. When said sincerely (not in the I'm praying for your heathen soul way), it's supportive.Eta: It posted before I was ready! Jynnan, I'm so sorry about your kitty! I was hoping for a different outcome. Missy, I hope your husband finds an even better job. My thoughts are with you.

Well thank you. I care about everyone here, and I've been lurking in the shadows keeping up with everyone. But I saw Amitville's post yesterday and it made me so sad that she hasn't been posting. And I didn't want her to think I went away. I guess I needed my time to decompress and deal with life. That night I posted was the lowest I've ever felt. I felt worthless in life. I felt like a burden to my family. I felt like a burden to myself. I had posted a whole long spiel, and it made me anxious. On top of everything else, I struggle with crippling anxiety. Against my better judgement, I spilled my heart out to a group of wonderful people. And I sat worrying about it. I worried that it was too long or that I divulged too much. I had a knot in my stomach. So when I got on and saw that I had upset someone by my post, it just confirmed my fear. I was already feeling so broken and beaten down, that it hurt. Normally, I can roll with the punches and can just ignore people. But that night was just too much and so it hurt. When my mom realized that what the tipping point was that caused me to hide in my room sobbing, she came to bat for me because I was not well enough to do so. I saw everyone's outpouring of kind thoughts and I really appreciate it. This group is so wonderful. I hate to be a debbie downer but that night I was just so lost. Since then, I got to spend the holidays with family which was very pleasant. It was a nice reprieve from worrying about the real world struggles. My health continues to remain the same, but things are looking optimistic. I had saw my neurologist, and he advised that my lumbar puncture is normal. He decided that I need to see a rheumatologist, he thinks it's silly that my doctor waited so long and so he referred me to one. I will be seeing the rheumatologist on the 21st of this month. I'm really excited because this doctor has excellent reviews and I've waited four years to see someone. I see an opthamologist tomorrow. Fingers are crossed for good news. My neurologist looked in my eyes and didn't see anything that stuck out to him. But he wanted an actual ophthalmologist to look. So thank you everyone for your support. It means a lot to me.

I have always been around, I amjust very sensitive and worry about making waves. :) Your post about you not posting much anymore made me sad. After a lot of thought I decided to stop letting my anxiety and fear control me. I can't let a poster or two who don't like me keep me from posting.

We have a cat ghost too. Two actually. One's more kitten like and the other is an adult. I'll see them walking or playing and think it's my kitty, but then she'll be somewhere else. One time I was cooking and the older spirit was in the kitchen with me, and I thought it was my kitty so I was talking to it and went to offer it some food. Suddenly it was gone, and I found my kitty nestled under a blanket on my bed where she had been all day. It's nice have animal ghosts.

I'm still here and alive. I lurk now, not comfortable posting much. But I am here. :)

I LOVE pocket doors! When I watch those shows and people say that everyone hangs out in the kitchen, I wonder to myself if I'm weird because I don't know anybody that hangs out in a kitchen. If we have company, we're all hanging out in the living room. I want the smallest amount of house that I can fit into comfortably for the exact same reason I don't want a two story great room. As you said, it would suck to heat/cool. And here in Michigan air conditioning in the summer and heat in the winter are a must.

Sorry to have bothered you. I only posted here by the suggestion of my mom to see if anybody has had to deal with disability insurance companies. People gave me suggestions and I'm acting on those. I won't post anymore about my crap. Thanks for confirming that here is not the place to ask for suggestions or advice. Wellfleet I will look into that, thanks.
