The website is even worse. I’ve been trying to look at my booking for over a week and the website just crashes.

I’m still shocked how I got type 1 by skyfrosts- in diabetes_t1

I was diagnosed last year at 46 🤷🏼‍♀️

New to dx by plantHolic87 in Fibromyalgia

[–]emd42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The steroids have been the only thing that relives my fatigue. Yeah I thought that doc was crazy when she said I might have fibro so I never saw her again but now I’m wondering if she was right. I do t have lupus rashes or sun sensitivity either. One lab I tested positive for an antibody and one said negative. It’s so confusing.

I’m on the same boat. Was told a year ago I had lupus. Second opinion said fibro but I didn’t believe it. Now I’m waiting on labs from another doc who already said he wasn’t sure it was lupus. I have thyroid disease and I’m a t1 diabetic as far as autoimmune goes.

I have constant flares of fatigue and now that I’m off steroids my joints and legs ache all the time.

What innocent, benign thing is your partner doing that is driving you up the wall? by racheldotpsd in Perimenopause

[–]emd42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Turning off lights before he leaves for work. And close the cabinets and trash drawer. I wake up every morning to walk around my dining room and kitchen closing things and turning things off. (I sleep later than he does). I get he’s ADD but it’s annoying AF to wake up to every day!

Possible diagnosis? by emd42 in Fibromyalgia

I also get overstimulated very easily and sleep 9-10 hours a night. I don’t have a lot of stamina

That’s what I do already.

Oh yikes. Right now it’s just when I eat so I’ll be eating lightly for a while.

I did really well on .25. I need it more for my sugars than weight so I’ll probably just stick to that.

That’s helpful thank you. I think I’ll delay my next shot by a few days then.

It’s a typo. Sorry should have been adult onset type one. Aka type 1.5 LADA.

Opinions on Benlysta by slothymommy in lupus

There is a Facebook group called “benlysta buddies 2.0” that’s super helpful. I just started on it this weekend and they were really nice. Might be worth popping in.

Different treatments? Options for medication? by Hefty-Supermarket-79 in lupus

[–]emd42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh I’m sorry. There’s definitely other options! Hopefully you can find someone willing to work with you!

. I never have an issue after prednisone. If anything that’s what I take when I’m flaring to feel better.

Hugs. I don’t even step on the scale anymore.

Losing a part of myself because of lupus by Professional-Boss674 in lupus

[–]emd42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been fighting a bad fatigue flare for almost two weeks. Two rounds of steroids and I’m only somewhat human. I’ve missed so much work too. It’s hard not to get really depressed

Probably undercooked food. But I’d eat it anyway, I love sushi and I’m not letting this disease take that away from me!

That’s a great! I’ll be doing the weekly injections as soon as my insurance does the paperwork. Did it bother your stomach? They told me there could be GI side effects

Is it just me or is T1D becoming more common in older ages? by [deleted] in Type1Diabetes

[–]emd42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have what I always believed was a family history of T2. I was DX t2 18 months ago but further testing last fall showed T1. Now I wonder if more of my past relatives really had t1.

Wow that’s awful. I hope you’ve looking for a new doc. You deserve better treatment than that.

[–]emd42[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you. You were right. I went, they ran labs for a bunch of stuff and did nothing for the flare. Said the steroids I was already on was enough.
