Is this normal?
I have felt so sick for months now, waiting for answers, help, anything. I feel like I have the flu everyday. Wake up tired and would sleep all day if I could. My body aches, and sore to the touch. My eyes are burning and my toes randomly go numb.
Rheum has not explained the first blood test results and just ordered more. Steroids help slightly and coming down off a second taper in a month. For what it's worth, I am 65/f with Ana 1:320 speckled and so far all the other tests including CBC have come back normal except the anti-cardiolipin? AB Iga?
I get these drawn tomorrow. Why is this so hard to get relief? Sigh
