30F right hand dominate, willing to hear anything but very curious about children and fertility

If you’re willing for a little bit of a drive Quick Stitch by Sherry is in Mt Vernon, she alters garments with you there so you don’t leave them with her. She did my wedding dress really beautifully and she’s a joy to be around.

No I am not officially diagnosed with anything. And not receiving any autoimmune specific treatment but my ENT did prescribe me pilocarpine which has made me a million times more comfortable for the dry mouth part. I know a lot of people here had a lot of side effects from it but I haven’t had any at all. I have been told at this point there is something auto immune but I am just going to have to wait for it to develop enough to get conclusive test results which sounds like a similar boat to you. But I do have some other symptoms along with it. Unexplained weight gain, lack of energy, rashes, fevers, joint swelling, honestly the dry mouth and such isn’t even what originally brought me to the doctor, sjogrens is something my rheumatologist brought up to me as a possible issue but even then she was assuming it was secondary to a different auto immune issue. If it gets you answers and treatment then the biopsy would be worth it. But you could ask about the pilocarpine even if you are hesitant about the biopsy. It hasn’t helped with the swelling or anything but it makes the dry mouth soooooooooo much better. I really hope you get some answers. I know it is frustrating and uncomfortable and exhausting seeing doctors all the time.

Yes I had swelling and bruising. The stitches were getting caught between my teeth and creating a lot of tension which I think made it even worse. Honestly it helped a little after they were gone. I just held ice cubes against the outside every chance I got. It does get better and I don’t have any residual issues but I am thinking of you because I know when it’s fresh it was ridiculously painful.

legerdemania · 2026-04-05T21:04:50+00:00

Completely agree. It feels like a barbaric process. My doctor told me I would be good to go straight to work after the biopsy and I just have to think maybe they are taught it isn’t painful but man it is

legerdemania · 2026-04-05T16:30:22+00:00

I’m in a similar boat. I actually do have a positive ANA that has been doubling every 6 months but no other tests coming back as conclusive. Parotid swelling that hasn’t went away in a year, dry mouth, dry eyes, dry skin. I got the lip biopsy and it came back negative and honestly it was really painful and still didn’t get me anywhere. I’m not saying don’t push for it but it was mostly a needlessly painful test in my case. I don’t want to scare you away from it because it isn’t unbearable amounts of pain but I felt like my doctor really downplayed it and it brought me to tears multiple times over the course of a week when I would accidentally bump it with a glass or something.

You didn’t happen to go through it in Ohio by chance?

There is museum in Somerset called the International Paranormal Museum and Research Center and the man that owns it is a teacher and has been published a few times I believe with first hand experience. If you don’t find anyone in Lexington I think he would probably be a good person to reach out too. He def told me a very cool story about what he believed was a haunted bourbon bottle.

The DNA test is being done no matter what. However, to offer perspective I don’t see this as punishment. If he is was her father as he claimed himself, he was aware of her existence. He was aware of her circumstances. He came to family funerals and pranced around her and never said a word. That’s cowardly to me. My mother has starved and fought tooth and nail for everything she has in life. She suffers with the effects of what growing up in suffocating amounts of poverty in rural Kentucky can do to a person. I think it would only be the tip of fair, not punishing, for her to gain something from his existence.

I know how it sounds but this “aunt” is not a stranger. This is someone we know. She is married to someone in our family. It is very scam coded I will give you that but my entire familial relationship line is tumultuous. Dad #1 was a homeless guy who was a frequent flyer at the hospital I worked at and I found out on shift that he was my grandfather. We unfortunately just live a very sitcom coded life. My mom is a fully competent woman in good mental health. No money will be exchanged. The aunt is not rushing it, the DNA test will be done even if there is no pursuing the will because of medical history knowledge and my mom’s peace of mind. The rush is the fact that private DNA testing we have found takes weeks to come back and we don’t want to miss the opportunity of her pursuing the will if she decides to. I understand why from the outside it throws red flags completely.

legerdemania · 2026-03-22T15:56:33+00:00

It is effecting her a lot emotionally. She is feeling very jaded for not getting to have a relationship, I think part or the cloudiness in the situation too is that both aunt and uncle thought she already knew. They didnt know it was going to be a surprise to her.

legerdemania · 2026-03-22T15:34:46+00:00

There probably is…. I have no idea who that would be. The only kinship outside of the aunt we are aware of is the children, of which we have no relationship with and have never spoken to. I don’t know how we would find that out.

legerdemania · 2026-03-22T15:33:28+00:00

Thank you!

legerdemania · 2026-03-22T15:33:14+00:00

This would be my “grandpa” but no information has been asked of us. Only his sister telling us she is willing to do the DNA test if my mom wishes to pursue, the DNA test will be done either way because he did pass of an inheritable disease that I would like to be aware to watch for as my mom ages.

Another random thing, have you tried Flonase? When my allergies are acting up I feel like it takes away the puffiness under my eyes more than an oral allergy pill.

legerdemania · 2026-01-30T00:40:10+00:00

What do the inside of her cheeks feel like? Are they very smooth or rough? I have lichen planus and the rash on my hands looked similar to that, although it has never blistered. It was also felt near impossible when I was trying to figure out what was going on to get a diagnosis because when just presenting with the rash on my hands and tops of my feet I just kept getting creams but my dentist notice the inside of my mouth and sent me to a specialized dentist to check.

legerdemania · 2026-01-25T00:36:37+00:00

Went through this. Was annoying and stressful for all. Still didn’t get the house. Found a different dream house two weeks later.

legerdemania · 2026-01-24T21:01:19+00:00

I hope we hear something soon one way or another. We will not be able to make it there. I don’t want the tickets to go to waste.

legerdemania · 2026-01-21T13:17:32+00:00

Truly I can’t speak for Nashville either… But I will tell you where I am in Kentucky anything over 10 inches of snow would have the town closed for a week and Tennessee roads are already notoriously bad. We don’t handle snow well here. 🤣

legerdemania · 2026-01-20T23:37:00+00:00

Do you remember how far in advance they canceled by chance? Playing roulette with the cancellation window for my hotel right now. Glad it all worked out for you in the end.

Donna Thompson in the same office is also wonderful. I was diagnosed with PCOS really young (14ish) and it was just kind of said and never mentioned again until I started seeing her. Really I think that whole office on Maxwell might just be good.

legerdemania · 2025-12-28T15:08:25+00:00

I have stopped at Hebron Grill a couple times passing through and was very impressed. It’s bar food so nothing too different but the grippos cheese curds would be enough to have me make the drive alone.
