I just thought I would introduce myself before I started asking questions and getting more involved.

I am a stay at home mom to 2 small kids who likes to play travel agent when I get the opportunity. =)

The last few years have been over the top with the autoimmune madness. CURRENTLY I have been diagnosed with:

Rheumatoid type Psoriatic Arthritis with Spondlytis
Psoriasis, nail, skin, palmo-pustular (awesome for your self esteem)
Sjogren's Syndrome
Raynauld's Syndrome
Erosive Gastritis & Esophagitis
Malabsorption disorder with B12, Vit D, Calcium, deficiencies
Osteopenia (see above)
Multiple serious drug allergies
Basilar artery migraines with Aura & vertigo - good times.
Panic Attacks (yeah, but wouldn't you have panic attacks if you had all this?)
and...
NEUROPATHY, which is why I am here

In addition I have had the WORST year. I was hospitalized for Typhus (I know, right?!) this summer and dealt with hepatitis as an aftereffect - but I think I am good now. (fingers crossed)

Currently on Remicade IV infusion, Aciphex, allergy meds, and about to go back on methotrexate. (ugh) B12 shots, nose spray, daily liquid - whatever I am feeling up to at the moment. As well as a bunch of vitamins, and PRN drugs.

Thanks for letting me dig through your archives, I have been reading up this past week and my brain hurts. I really appreciate the combined wisdom of this group.
