AnnieB3, the flu took me down hard. Sorry I didnt get answered. On top of that I have this housing recert that is coming differnent than before. The expect me to do the detailed paper work on uncovered medical Yplus 6pt forms and for the other person all teh cleaning to get my place inspected!! Then this morn just now the home aid agecny nurse (4th one since October) called to say she HAS to come this week for their recert and sounded snippy when I said I was getting over the flu and had housing due this week. I said call my daughter and she said ok as if that will do her any good! I got 'the tone ' from her. She didnt have that tone last time when she called from her car and didnt know my case yet. Not good.

No skin stuff like you noted. I do now have a rash under my breast from some or all the meds I am on. I had an odd case of chilblains when this was all early on. It was my foot and they said you must have been out in the cold. I said no but they didnt believe it. The dermo they referred me to did an ANA which came back negative but I have had postive ANA and the speckle test came back positive at that time which came back again later in 06 with the Sjogrens blood work that was positive.

I feel like I am a broken record here but because I got dehydratd from the flu my dry eye is even more intense and that with less mesti cause tummy is so raw my eyes have reached a new low so I hate that I cant spend as much time online or here.
