I knew it was going to be a long day when DH told me he would be useless this afternoon because baseball, fighting, and poker were on TV. But he seriously drank all afternoon, stayed inside while the boys played outside, disappeared upstairs for awhile, and burned dinner before passing out. He wasn't drunk drunk, just drank enough to be drowsy. If this wasn't a freak thing, I would probably need someone to bail me out. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk I hope he gets a terrible hangover! What did you end up doing for dinner? Something delicious delivered? Burnt ribs and cold corn on the cob. Good thing those boys will eat anything. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Hurt like a bitch. I'm bruised from rubbing them to refrain from scratching.. like huge bruises. Did you meet any more Bourbon producing felines? Just 2. They are named after 2 of their special blends. Noahs mill and Rowans creek. the next distillarary didn't have any kitties.

cagoldi, did you get your incision checked out? Yep. They had to drain it a little and if it's not better in the next couple days they need to remove the stitches even though they aren't supposed to come out until next Wednesday. I'm going to try to get around to posting the whole awful story later tonight. It's going to be a novel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We found a place we liked that was around the block from the school. Then I realized it was smaller than our current place and 300 more a month. So back to square one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great time and I was totally spoiled having the shortest drive! Of course I get home and mh sends me to j's room bc he's waiting for me and then N is screaming and he had to go for a walk once he handed her off..granted bedtime has been awful lately.
Fun to finally meet people in real life! They can confirm I am tall.

MIL picked up H after dinner and took her to VBS. Sounds like she had a blast, but came home so wound up. DH gave her a bath and is currently getting her to sleep.

Cadence basically put herself to bed tonight. She handed me a book and said to read it to her in bed. Then she was out.

Okay. Here goes. I'm going to try to keep it as short as possible, and I'll probably poof.
After Atticus was born, I started getting issues with the skin on my breasts. Abscesses, specifically. Super painful ones that often scar. They seemed to appear after I had mastitis so I always assumed that was the impetus.
They would come and go but eventually got so bad I have had to go to UC countless times for ABX. My PCP has no idea what to do, so she sent me to an Infectious disease doctor thinking it might be MRSA. I went to them a few times, they do cultures and conclude it's not staph. Infectious disease isn't sure how to help at this point, so they direct me to Dermatology. The dermatologist consults my Rheumatologist because he is thinking this could be related to lupus, or it could be a completely separate autoimmune condition called Hidratenitis Suppurativa. The biopsy is to determine if the skin shows any signs of lupus. If it does, then we're going to try Plaquenil even though this has literally never been used to help this particular skin issue. If there isn't any evidence of lupus based on the biopsy, then the treatment for Hidratenitis would be Humira.
Nobody really wants me on Humira because I'm already immunocomprimised with my fibromyalgia, lupus, and Sjogren's.
So that's it, I guess?
I'm really upset because I thought we were not even considering lupus and Sjogren's anymore since I did have one set of labs with no markers (after 3 separate times with positive ANA titers). Also, whatever the hell is going on is and has been making it hard to work out because I definitely get a flare after exercising, or rather if I sweat during exercise. And I'm basically disfigured at this point because I have such extensive scarring.
I have an appointment with an Immunologist this Wednesday, but I'm not expecting much.

I'm so sorry cagoldi. That's a lot to take in and how awful that you have been dealing with it for so long. I hope that your biopsy comes back with some answers so the Dr's are able to come up with a successful course of action. I'm sorry that they are thinking lupus, especially since you thought you were in the clear. Keep us posted, we're all here for you, hugs friend.

I'm sorry cagoldi. I hope they get to the bottom of the issue and are able to treat it. You sure have had a rough few years with your health.

I am sorry cagoldi. That just sucks to think you're in the clear for lupus yet they keep coming back to it. The whole ordeal sounds miserable and I really hope the biopsy gives some path of treatment and some peace of mind. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

I know that's really exact but my family is all tall so every quarter of an inch matters. Lol.
