Ok so, in my last post a few days ago I mentioned GP had requested lots of bloods. Rang for results today - Creatinine and Vit D flagged up…don’t know any details yet.
Also went to optician today who commented on how dry my eyeballs are.
Dentists for years have commented on dry mouth and I have had a run of teeth/gum issues last few years too.
Sjorgrens flags up…also has symptoms of joint pain as well as dry eyes and mouth.
I often have hoarseness and difficulty swallowing as not enough saliva.
Does anyone here have Sjorgrens?
MS Nurse rang me to discuss MRI results and she said she’s come across quite a few with both that and MS
So basically I’m a box of frogs. Definitely going to hope GP refers me to Rheumatology! Sorry for the whinge but feeling particularly sorry for myself today.
My 16 yr old daughter attempted suicide in December and has since started intensive counselling and anti depressant meds. Sertraline has not helped, and now neither has fluoxetine. Today she had an enormous panic attack and was actually pulling her hair out in anguish and saying that things are getting harder and she can’t do this anymore. She’s still self harming. This is due to a lifetime of having social interaction and speech & language difficulties and masking to try and fit in, every single day of her life since playgroup. She is so very very broken and exhausted and I’m scared I can’t keep her safe.
Which is why I never sleep anymore until the early hours when she does, I think my ‘mama’ mode is on alert until she is asleep and safe!
It is possible that stress has kickstarted another horrible AI condition I suppose.
Being a parent is so scary sometimes…but I wish I could take her pain away!
Oh dear it’s turned into a bit of a pity post. I’m sorry - but husband finds it too hard to talk about, Mum is dealing with Dad with dementia, and I kind of have to get it out in order to help me process it and stay strong for her.
What does Creatinine do anyway?!
