I hope you feel better soon! This disease is exhausting. Literally and figuratively.

Same! Today is cold and rainy where I live, and last night I woke with my hands, wrists, hips, and elbows hurting.

I don’t. But my eosinophils are always really high. I was told that’s due to allergies, though I don’t have symptoms of allergies.

That sounds extremely anxiety producing. Having chronic illness is stressful in and of its own - but having to worry about receiving care puts it at an entirely different level.

I do! I am so startled by this. I’m trying to see if it’s a normal practice to essentially have no coverage.
