got diagnosed with fibro... and possible Sjorgren's syndrome. From what I have ready now, I definitely fit the Sjorgren's syndrome profile. She is also testing me for RA and lupus.
I went the allergist today. Very, very disappointing. I was so hoping for an allergy as opposed to an autoimmune disease.
He was so sure that I had some type of inhalant allergy, he didn't order the food tests. So, now I have to go back on Tuesday to get that done. The only thing I am severely allergic to is cockroaches! And I am mildly allergic to dust mites and cats. And that is it! No trees, grasses, pollens or molds. That's good...but bad.
Wednesday I go to the sleep doctor.
Have a real good feeling about the rheumy doctor. She was appalled that I had told three GPs about my choking and snoring at night and none of them had ordered a sleep study. And she was upset at the eye doctor as well. As she said "dry eyes may be a problem, but it doesn't cause swellling around your eyes so badly that they close up." She thinks the eye doctor should have suspected Sjorgren's. I don't know.
I am feeling pretty low right now. Can't take any meds until all this is done.
I guess I had just so hoped that the allergist would have a piece of the puzzle today. I dissapointed to the nth degree, and so angry at my body!
Anyway, just wanted to blow off steam. Thanks guys for being here!
