Hi Linn,
No I have never been evaluated for Vasculitis. I have some of the syptoms, of different subsets, like I have had fevers before. I have had some circulation issues, small but still had them. Anemic during one of my pregnancies,etc. I have most definately had my share of anxiety and panic, and depression. But I am sure mine is and has been true anxiety. I am on an antidepressant and have been for about 10 years, also blood pressure medication, runs in the family. I do have an increased puse rate another vasculitis symptom.
Is is worse in winter, probably. I live in southern Misssissippi so it isn't really cold here! Any tricks to dealing with it, not really. I rely on lots of prayer and The Lord. Best trick I know! IF you have any please share them. Yes I do work outside the home, I stayed home with my children for about 11 years, I went back to work three years ago. I am 37 years old. My family is supportive, but I honestly try not to talk about it much. I talk most to my husband about it, and he is sympathetic.
Tell me your tricks and about North Dakota. I'm not very well traveled so share!
Talk soon,
Suzie
