That was nice of her! But I wonder why she had no trick or treaters?

[Lemon Cheesecake]

probably because everyone goes trick or treating at the high end housing first and she goes to bed early and there are no real little kids on her street.

Well, free candy for everyone at your work.

[Watery Star]

I've brought candy to work before and was surprised by how little was taken.

Lemon: I went back to the doctor's and am getting my liver checked because I was sick to my stomach that day. I'm feeling better now but fever still comes and goes. It might just be a fibro thing.

[dragoness129]

My manager brings in food for everyone and I usually end up taking it home because no one else wants what is left. ^_^

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Watery, I am so sorry to hear it might be your liver! Do they think it could be a side affect from medications for the fibro? Maybe it is something you are lacking? I had hepatitis when I was in 4th grade and I would be "hungry" but looked at food and feel so nauseated I couldn't eat, or I'd try to eat and be sick. Had to go on a bland food, no fat diet for a few months until I got better. I missed a month of school ( come to think of it that answers a few questions about some of my educational struggles! haha)

[Watery Star]

eh I think it's more of a precaution then something to worry over. He didn't really say his reasoning just that he wanted to check a couple of things. Checked to see if I was pregnant and that got ruled out. I have an appointment with a rheumatologist on Wednesday so I can discuss my medications with them. I am a little worried about being on the same meds for over a year. There's a warning about taking them long-term, same warning that a previous med had about developing spasms. I don't want my spasms to come back. I keep meaning to discuss it with my doctor but it's hard because there's always so much to say and only so much time with him. Plus I get spacey and even with notes I still can have trouble speaking.

Now I am a little worried. I often go through that and I have to eat bland food. Thought the bland food was me just being very sensitive to spices and seasonings. I guess I'll get a call if it something.

you should hand the Doctor your list of questions, sometimes they will answer them and sometimes they will have their nurse or nurse practitioner or assistant answer them.

[Watery Star]

I'm seeing a rheumatologist tomorrow so I can go over my concerns with them since it's mostly related to fibro and they will be more knowledgeable.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

please share what can be done. Was it you or someone else that was talking about sjogren's syndrome and arthritis?
was looking at the news online and saw this about vitamin D deficiency and rheumatoid arthritis as well as auot immune diseases:
http://www.healthcentral.com/rheumatoid ... 25#slide=1
"Hydroxychloroquine, or Plaquenil, and corticosteroids, which both can be prescribed for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis," can affect Vitamin D absorption.

Maybe add that to your list of questions for the Doc

[Watery Star]

That wasn't me. However I know I must be low on Vitamin D. I'll make a note of it.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

someone needs to invent a scanner that not only detects what is out of sync with our bodies but tells us how to treat it ...like, you are low on Vitamin d, please go out in the sun for 15 min and drink a glass of fortified milk, or like, your intestines are sluggish, please eat a spoonful of olive oil and drink some vitamin C. " I'm getting silly since I am getting tired. Think I will go shower and get to bed.

May you have a pain free night!

[Watery Star]

I really need one of those!

Ok, take care and thanks. Hope you get a good night's rest.

I think it's coming. Google (well Alphabet now) has been working on contact lenses that talk to your Android phone to tell diabetics what their glucose levels are in real time without the pin prick. I'm sure we'll know what our blood is doing at home in the not too distant future. Fantastic stuff!

[Watery Star]

Wow that's really cool.
I couldn't do the contact lenses though. Not with my lazy eye.
