I was trying to make coffee the other morning and couldn't remember how to fill it with water. It's on the other side of the kitchen from the sink... I was in a panic thinking "WHY would the coffee...
Hi there, have you figured it out yet?! If it hurts during/after eating, particularly if you eat something sour (bite a lemon and see how it feels..), it might still be a salivary stone. Eating,...
Suetoo mentioned Rachel Ray's magazine... In the September issue of Everyday with Rachel Ray, Rachel had recipes for cooking 20 meals in "one day". It's one big day of preparing pulled pork, pulled...
It's always disheartening when you have a problem that just keeps going without a diagnosis... Just got back from my GP, he said the salivary gland is definitely inflamed (after pressing on it so...
Hi! I'm Mel. I'm a 21-soon-to-be-22-year-old who has a lot of "auto-immune issues" which my doctors have yet to fully diagnose... several years ago it was "you most likely have lupus" then it was "it...
Hi! I'm Mel. I'm a 21-soon-to-be-22-year-old who has a lot of "auto-immune issues" which my doctors have yet to fully diagnose. I haven't posted on the Sjogren's board yet, though I have posted on...
I AM NOT TRYING TO SCARE YOU, JUST SHARE MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCES. TALK WITH YOUR DOCTOR! EVERYONE REACTS DIFFERENTLY (And I was stubborn and didn't bother to go to the doctor long after I should...
Hey all, I'm getting ready to go to the doctor later today because I've caught the virus my 1 year old niece just got over. But I was wondering if any of you have had problems with your stomach...
Oh my, this is hilarious!! An old friend of mine shaved her head for St. Baldrick's this year, as well. I don't have that kind of courage-- I'm self-conscious enough about my random bold spots that...
Hey everyone! Hope you all are doing well. It's finals week for me, which means this horrid semester is finally almost over!!! So I'm visiting my family doctor (the one that initially thought I might...
Lynnette, I guess what I find myself asking is what would wear me out more: travelling to be with my parents, or staying at home worrying:what if something goes wrong- would I regret not being there?...
pluslouie: It's been a while since I have had more than 4 vials taken at any given time, usually that hasn't been a problem... I'm not sure though if I start getting back up to taking 13 vials or so...
Carol, from my poking around on these threads lately, I've noticed you've really not been having the best luck staying out of the hospital. I don't know you well but my heart goes out to you... and...
Wow, Pat, that's an eye-opener! And you and redrose both bring up a good point: I should be taking better care of myself and be getting treated whether or not it's officially diagnosed. Tomorrow I am...
See, that's the weird thing, Redrose. I asked the red cross lady during the pre-donation tests for anemia and what not that there was a possibility that I might have lupus and she said it wouldn't...
Just a few days ago I spent 10 minutes trying to get into what I THOUGHT was my apartment.... No, it definitely wasn't. Was on the wrong floor, wrong side of the building.... I didn't even realize I...
Okay, hate to flood the boards...but. Should people with lupus donate blood? I remember I tried twice in high school to give blood. The first time I successfully donated blood, and felt fine for the...
Hey everyone! I've been somewhat of a silent visitor to this site for some time now, and just never took the time to get an account and speak out. Partially because maybe I didn't think I had...
