It all started with RA for me, followed by Lupus, Sjogren's, Vitiligo and Uveitis... Anyone else follow this path of challenges?
(This has all been in the last 7-8 yrs. I've been on several biologics-Had a severe allergic reaction to Avonex & came a little too close for comfort on the 5th shot so switched to Tecfidera. Also on Immuran, steroid, Plaquenil, & many vits-esp the Bs. PLEASE do your research before starting biologics or any RA, Lupus, MS, etc meds. I see my rheumy monthly-& have blood tests every 3...didn't have TB before meds but do now. On 10 mos antibiotics & then hopefully good to go again!)
Yep. Mine all started with a holey heart, too large to fix completely but it's only shunting a tad now & no longer SUPER enlarged, then came the terrible all over joint pain, RA , Lupus & Sjogrens diagnosis', by my rheumy & sent to the neuro for a MS diagnosis. Life could be better, but it could definitely be worse!!
sle and sjogrens...I agree with Bev55...everyday changes, the list goes on and on
#KathyMcHughKennicutt Some days seem to be just that, a list that goes on.
I was originally dx with SLE, then came sjogrens, raynauds, hypo thyroidism, dry skin, rashes, autonomic dysfunction, I have a pace maker, chronic UTI'S, and the list goes on and on.
