Kiya,
I am still trying to be there for her but she verbally abuses me and my husband is done with it. For the last year she has done a pretty good job of not letting my husband hear her but he has and he is not having it anymore.
She is going to be 19 years old and from what we have heard from our friends is that it's the age I was hoping with her in college she would find someone else. Hopefully when she does not get any support from us she will see the light.I am praying.
I think you need to see another neurologist. Here's why. I also have lupus, RA along with the fibro and a few other things. My rhemy had to find a doctor who knew how to treat patients with lupus. Not all rhemys or neurologist have patients with lupus. If they do not have patients with lupus how do they know how to treat them or what to look for?
Yes they learned about it in medical school but how long ago was that? It makes me mad when they want to blame your symptoms on something else like a mental disorder. For me one big factor which keeps me out of the ER is once I am there the doctor will say it's just your lupus or this last time when my BP was so high and I could not stop throwing up the ER doctor who I saw for less then 5 minutes says to me do you realize how many medications you are on. Like really I never knew that. His next question was have you ever thought about cutting down? No I like taking 30 pills a day and doing 4 breathing treatments a day.
Give me a break. I was in so much pain Saturday that I took my meds a little early and so I feel asleep on the couch with sunny the cat. I found out something new about Sunny. He snores. I never hard a cat snore before.
Sometimes I have to get out of bed because of my husbands snoring and he claims he does not snore but I recorded him the other night

But when I went into the front room to sleep Sammy the dog was snoring in her kennel(she's the dog below) and now Sunny snores. I need to get ear plugs.
Ok I will stop rambling. It's 4:10 in the morning here and since I went to bed early I woke up early.
Take care everyone.
