Well I went to the PCP for the itching. It turns out he doesn't know what is causing it. He gave me more meds to help stop the itching.
BUT...NO ANSWERS. Frustrated, I went out to my car, callled my husband and cried like a baby. My husband convenced me to call the Rheumy doc and try to get in.
Did that...wasn't going to be able to get in till June 14th.
NOW...today...went in for blood work...I got a hold to one of the nurses and begged her to get me in. So I have an appt for tomorrow morning.
I just can't see myself waiting in pain and itching till 2 weeks from now.
Not only is the itching still there but my joints and hurting bad now. Red and swolllen. Also, my eyes have a feeling of being swollen and dry. I know this maybe a flare...but the itching is new and not normal.
I pray I get some relief soon.
Hope this helps.

Have them test you for Sjorgens Syndrome. The dry eyes...itching...hmmm. Maybe do like our Pip has suggested and start hydrating yourself real well. It could also be a reaction to amed or a combo of meds.
Pip...where have you been lately? You feeling ok?
We couldn't find an apartment and were living in a motel (yuck!) then hubby walked thru a plate glass window trying to hurry and avoid another months storage fees. 26 stitches later and he's OK! Just got connectivity today! That was something - me the techno-idiot trying to set up a computer. LOL. Anyway - just trying to catch up. How's your baby?

Thanks for asking!! Hope your husband heals up well!!! There is a post somewhere on here about her doc visit today.
Glad you are back!! Are you getting settled ok??
