So Today I was diagnosed with a THRID Autoimmune Disease (As if Lupus and my other isn't enough, LOL) Fibromyalgia... I had a good idea that I had it because my mother had Fibro also and I'm JUST like my mother. I know that Fibro isn't as bad as Lupus or life-threatening like Lupus, so I know I can handle this also. I'm just so upset about having yet another one. My Doctor started me on Fibro meds, that will also help me sleep, and put me back on my Klonopin, so that should help me sleep also. Also my leg's may have blockage (small blood clots, I'm at high risk for them cause my other autoimmune disease: Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome and my blood disease, MTHFR Diease) I get purple, yellow stops on my legs, my feet turn BRIGHT red. So he is sending me to a Specialist for that. What fun, LOL!! Now on to my results, well it's negative... And all I will say is I bawled my eyes out nearly 2 hours and I am still very upset about it, and then AF happened to show up a few hours after.. We chose not to do the last round of IUI and will be getting the money for IVF!! YAY! So we will do IVF when we PCS to Ft Campbell, next month. And until then we are still going to TTC naturally. Even with a 1% of getting pregnant, I don't care, we talked about it and we still going to try while we wait for IVF. I am not sure what else to say, but this cycle and this negative is one of the hardest I have gone through..My heart is about ripped out of me and stomped on. *sighs* But I know everything will work out how it is meant to. I just want to thank, other than my Husband of course, all you wonderful ladies who have been here for me throughout the day, I don't know what I would do without you.
Roxanne, I am so so sorry! I was really hoping this was your cycle. I'm praying for you and I'm so happy that you have the money to do IVF! Keep up your hope! And let me know if you have any IVF questions. I'll be through my first cycle by then I think. *HUGS*
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry Roxanne! I will pray for you guys. Ft.Campbell is a great place so hopefully it brings you some great results with IVF :)
ReplyDeleteI saw your tweets last night. I'm so sorry! Boo about the third autoimmune disease. I'd be upset too!
ReplyDeleteHi Roxanne,
ReplyDeleteTrying to find out all I can about fibro and found my way here. You might want to read a few of the articles from the Women to Women clinic -- they are all about inflammation, lupus, fibro -- with some pretty good info imo... Here are a few links if you want to check them out. I have been up and down the internet and so far these are the best ;-) Good luck!
What is lupus?

Inflammation — the key to chronic disease?
Good luck!
*huge hugs* I am so sorry, Roxy <3
ReplyDeleteI am so so sorry. Know that I'm thinking about you!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry Roxy! :-(
ReplyDeleteI have fibro too! If it makes you feel better, most docs are now saying that it's NOT an auto-immune disease, after all. I'm doing acupuncture and PT to help with the pain. We're getting ready to TTC and the fibro med my doc wanted me to take can't be used while TTC. Good luck! I hope your meds help and this next round of IUI works so you can get your baby :-)
