Laid Up Again (sigh)

I'm not feeling too well today. My skin is bothering me and I'm very achy. Also, my stomach is bothering me. Friday night I slept from 12:30am until 10:00am. Then I slept another 3 hours during the day Saturday. I should have figured that there's something brewing. Hopefully it's just a virus or something. I'm spending the day in bed and hoping to wake up feeling better tomorrow.

I'll keep you up to date. Thanks again for all your good wishes. Believe in Miracles.

UPDATE 5/5: Did lots of online research of my assortment of symptoms. Always a risky venture. I think I'm having some kind of gvd-induced autoimmune reaction from coming off of all the meds. I went to see Dr. Freidman, my internist on Monday. He drew blood and sent me for a bilateral venous doppler to rule out any DVT. I've got pain in swelling in both legs but I'm pretty sure that it'll be negative. Anyway, I think that if it were positive they'd have gotten in touch with me by now. I'm waiting to hear the results of the blood work. I spoke to Dr. Schuster and he wants to see me on Friday. I'm feeling pretty rotten, very, very tired, achy and swollen, assorted skin rashes, etc. Not a pretty picture.

I'm impatient for the results and want to get to the bottom of this asap so that we can treat it and move on. I had been feeling so well and had been walking every day and really, really enjoying it. I'm trying not to get too frustrated and will keep you up to date on the situation.

Thanks again for everything.
