Oh, my dear friends, I wish I could gather you all up in a gentle hug and tell you everything is going to be all right. But sometimes, with chronic diseases, things are not all right ... they are managed the best they can be.

What is happening to you, Christina, and you, Kiya, is an outrage. Surely there is someone, anyone in the medical community who will speak up for the two of you. Christina, I know what's it's like to be bipolar and have my pain ignored, but my pain isn't as bad as yours. Kiya, if you can't do it, you can't do it and tell them!

I went to the rhuemy yesterday. I explained about my teeth and the hard time I'm having with losing them all three or four at a time. They said with the Sjogrens it was inevitable and that it's also inevitable that the fibro would be flared. Trying to survive a dry socket on tylenol and advil has about done me in. I must be a big baby because it's taken the spit fire right out of me and now I'm afraid to go ahead on the 1st and have more removed. Pardon my raging fear.

I had to have a cortizone shot in my hip and hopefully that will help a lot. She numbs the area really well before she injects it so it's not painful, per se.

I am really dehydrated. It comes with Sjogrens and makes the fibro worse. This too, shall pass. I swear, you guys, this too, shall pass.

I love you all.
