I have one last test, a nerve biopsy looking for inflamations. I started to show signs of lupus..swollen finger joint, pain in shoulders, raynaud's, hypercoagulation. If I am lucky, it will show in the biopsy and I will be treatable. But I am realistic, it is a long shot.

I learned that they cannot try IVIG due to the coagulation problems, it would probably kill me. I have to wait for the blood workup results.

I am going to an ALS clinic, they have so much to offer and the husband need more support than I do. I am on ritulek and have alot of preparing to do, but also I want to live my life not focusing on the future, not spending my days waiting to the other shoe to drop.

I am very religious and do not receive this as incurable, as I believe that by His stripes we are healed. I believe in supernatural healing. This above all else is what helps me.
