where's cookiemonster

Hi Laura....I know I have been busy.
My hubby had his apt and this rheumy said he does not think it is lupus or fibro, he just wants to treat the symptoms so he perscribed him Mobic (he has not taken yet tho) and he upped his lyrica dose to 300 mg a day. We don't know what to do 3 rheumys and 3 diff oppinions ???? : o He is still feeling terrible :( and it really sucks cause it takes soooo long to get into a new doc and then when you finally go we are hopeful that this will be the one that will figure it out, but it seems like they all have terrible bed side manners and don't want to listen to what you have to say.....so far 3 strikes :( I have not given up but my hubby says he has he thought this last doc would help but no luck. so we will keep truckin I am not giving up I want him to feel better and I will keep trying as long as it takes...hopefully it won't take too much longer tho....cause I feels soooooo bad for him.

Anyway enough about us, how was your apt on the 16th? I hope all is going well and you are feeling better. :)

Sorry I was disconnected for a few weeks....
Take care and I will talk to you soon Laura

Hi, cookiemonster. Sorry, I just haven't been on lately or at least much anyway. I wasn't feeling well there for awhile. It's strange i have pain and the iky feelings aren't as bad. But then the pain isn't as bad, then the iky's come back. I hate this awful stuff!! But, i know it could be so much worse.
How's your hubby. I read he's not doing so good. I'm so sorry to hear that. You were talking about sevella. I never took it. But i did and at the present time am taking Lyrica. My dose was upped once. I think it may have to be upped again. the pain in my arms and hands is getting ridiculous. I am feeling the pain from the fibro coming back as well. Mostly in my shoulders and collar bones. I really wish i could help him for you. For me, It's just been a roller coaster ride. I believe it will be that way the rest of my life. I just keep thinking about everyone else who is worse off than me. I feel sad for them, but i'm glad it's not me... terrible for me to say. but it's just how i get through it. I will say alot of prayers for your husbands relief from his suffering and one for you, to keep strong for your family. (((((hugs and kisses))))) to you both. Laura <3
