Sorry I haven't been on in awhile. I've been so busy with work and Blaze being gone overseas that I'm overwhelmed. I need so help though. I had one of the worst flare ups I have ever had last week where it felt like both the lups and fibro flared up together. I took some time off work since I looked like death hung over and have been off work since Saturday and go back Wednesday. I feel like I am out of the flare bbut I'm still having some problems. I don't know if this is due to stress or if I should be concerned. Within the last couple weeks or so, I've been having really bad headaches off and on that just come and go real quick. Sometimes they like to stick around for awhile and some just are there for a few minutes and go away. I also noticed that when I was in the flare up, there were times I couldn't comprehend anything. One night I was helping my mom with dinner and I was making two boxes of something and I just stared at them and then asked her, "If one requires 2 cups and the other requires 2 cups, how much is that?" She told me and I just stared at her unable to comprehend it or figure out how to measure out 4 cups. There are times where I am real sharp and then there are times where I feel like someone has beat me with a baseball bat and I can't comprehend anything like I am always in a fog. I felt like a moron this afternoon talking to the lady at my insurance company and I couldn't remember my SSN and then couldn't figure out and comprehend whjere my ID number was on my card and it was right there in front of me. I just feel like I haven't been myself. I am so forgetful and my short term memory is down the drain. I've experienced the fog and short term memory loss before but not this bad. Do I go to my rheumy or to my regular dr about
all this? ANy help would be very much appreciated. And thank you ahead of time.
