hey all ..

here is my latest update:

NO LUPUS .. NO Rheumatoid Arthritis ... that's the good news (sorta) ... what I may have is fibromyalgia on top of the MS (joint pain, etc) ... with no sort of med treatment that would benefit me ... back to square one ... OH, I have a fatty liver - LOL, whatever!!

I may have Sjogen's disease - which is also another auto-immune disease of why I have dry mouth and dry eyes (no tears) ... and can be related to the RA and liver issues ..

next wednesday - I will be having a biopsy done of my lip (I guess) to verify the Sjogen's ... and then on Nov 12th - a biopsy of my liver ...

good news :: the rheumy said he would write a letter to my lawyer - To Whom It May Concern ... regarding my liver issues and treatments ... although I'm still going for testing .. I said it would be nice to have a nice Christmas ... actually, I saw him as a real person, not just a doctor ... and felt bad because there really isn't anything he can do with my pain ... until after the liver biopsy ...

onward!! I'm okay - just in alot of pain .. flare ... part of life, right?? keep smiling!! you all are just so cute!!

OH .. forgot to add - the reason for the liver biopsy is to check for auto-immune hepatitis .. the fun never ends!! ta ta
