I have many relatives who live in your neck of the woods- and I have spent alot of time there. Not a easy place, CT is not much better.Somnambulist wrote:It's a pipe dream. We're going to die here.

Active shooter in Battery Park. I was supposed to leave work early today... but I'll pass. 
This country has problems right now.

Make it a very elaborate, detailed pipe dream then. And maybe, just maybe you will find yourself looking at it with wonder one day, and realizing that - by golly - this may actually work.Somnambulist wrote:It's a pipe dream. We're going to die here.

And if it never gets to that point, well, you had some pleasant daydreams.

Didn't know where else to put this, but my Father-in-Law was called home @ 9:45 am this morning. In a way, I'm relieved that he is no longer in pain. The BC is a great distraction right now.

Commuting is so much fun.
Thank God my boyfriend had off and drove an hour plus to get me and brought slices of pizza for me. Bless him.

Sounds like me. And you would think a dozen would be hard to miss? I hope you find them.Ballerina wrote:I bought a dozen jar candles on sale a couple moths ago. Now, I can't find them. How could they just disappear. I remember bringing them home from the store. What happened next I haven't a clue.

My sister was diagnosed with RA earlier this year. Apparently, someone on my dad's side of the family died from complications from RA. And it's looking more and more likely that I also have it. I'll get tested, but that's just what we need on top of all my kid's medical problems.
But hey, my sinuses are still working properly!

AI's cluster heavily on my mom's side. I went through the ringer with this for 2 years. I ended up with pelvic floor dysfunction, but a Googling of those symptoms shows a pretty easy comparison to MS/IC in some ways, although IC is heavily debated as an AI. I don't think it's that common for siblings to have the same AI.starrydreamer wrote:My sister was diagnosed with RA earlier this year.

I'd demand a lymes disease test. There are two.. the one they offer first on offices has an abysmally high false negative rate but people don't often know about that. Since you lived in this area that's the only reason I mention it.
Good luck. The worst thing to deal with is the healthcare system when you don't feel good.

My sister got tested for MS - thankfully it was negative. As for Lyme Disease, it might be a good idea to get tested, although it's been 7 years since I last lived in the northeast. Even without RA, I need to get treatment for the arthritis in my finger joints anyway.
The distribution of Lyme disease has expanded quite a bit in the past few years especially in the midwest, and it can have very long-term effects. Like Som said the test isn't the most reliable, but I think it's definitely worth bringing up to your physicians. Best of luck and I hope you feel better soon, starry.

They'll pop up eventually and you'll wonder why the heck you put them there.Ballerina wrote:Nope - I think Yankee Candle snuck into the house and took them back. It's truly a mystery.starrydreamer wrote: Ballerina - have you found your candles yet?
Saw the doctor and the only thing my blood tests show is that I have lower than the standard range for mean platelet volume. ANA Screen was negative, Rheumatoid Factor negative. Only waiting on Anti-CCP test, but I expect that to be negative too. But I'm not making up the joint pain, so I've ordered some supplements and I'll probably go see a rheumatologist anyway.
