Sorry, this has nothing to do with fibro...I woke up this morning with a new "dent" actually another patch of lipoatrophy...this time on my upper chest 2-inches around.  It is related to my autoimmune stuff. Overnight II developed an unsightly lupus lesion on my forehead.

I'm trying to find a hidden blessing here...I suppose I can say I'm lucky that I wear bangs smilewinkgrin and that the new dent isn't on my face...I already have one on the side of my nose. I know my rheumy will want to up my methotrexate again...and the toxicity of this drug scares me.

This Saturday, we'll be flying to see family and I know it will help take my mind off this flare.

Sorry to complain, but I know that you all would understand.

Hugs, Robin

Robin,

I'm so sorry to hear about your rough morning. Not a fun way to start the day I hope you have a nice trip visiting family and that it distracts you from the current flare.

You're one of the strongest people I know so I'm confident you'll be able to find the positives in this and move forward with your wonderful attitude! You have a way of making these situations seem like little bumps in the road.

Hang in there my friend! Best wishes for a wonderful weekend!
yeah yeah yeah

Frankey, thanks...I just read your post...it brought a smile to my face. I know that I'm going to be just fine...this morning I was having a bit of a pity party...I'm over it!!!

Looking forward to seeing my family and playing with my grandaughter. She turns 3 tomorrow... her birthdays are like milestones for me. When I first was diagnosed with all the autoimmune junk, I was worried that I might not live long enough to see her grow up. I am now hopeful that I will. :-)

Thanks again my friend

Hugs, Robin

Robin, I don't see it as complaining, just venting your feelings. BUT if you want to complain - you go right ahead. If it helps to get it out and relieve any stress for you, go right ahead. We all understand and we all stand w/ you.

I also wear bangs due to skin issues. I have been waiting for our insurance issues to get settled so I can see a cpl of drs, one in particular for my skin.

I understand your concern re the meds, I hope and pray they cause you no harm.

The weekend away sounds wonderful! It will be so good to see your family and for them to see you. So your little doll is turning 3 tomorrow, that's great. You will be here to celebrate many b/d w/ her. I Believe!

Have a great time, you will be missed, but you will be back.

God bless.  Alice.
