New to group. Diagnosed with Rheumatoid and Sjogrens Syndrome

[Guest guest]

Hi... I wanted to introduce myself since I'm new to the group. I'm a

37 year old woman whom I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis a

year ago. This past February I was diagnosed with Sjogren's Syndrome

and Reynaud's Syndrome and Hypothyroid Immune Deficiency Disease. I

spend a lot of time in pain and I'm unable to have the life I had

just a year and a half ago. I'm sure many of you can probably

relate.

I am a single Mommy of a boy with Asperger's Syndrome, Tourettes,

OCD, and ADHD. I homeschool him. I also have Asperger's Syndrome and

OCD. We love to read around this house and to cook and play games

together. We have a dog and a cat, whom I am absolutely sure is

autistic!

My Mom helps when she can. She was just here this morning to do

dishes and carry out the trash and bring up the baskets of laundry

with my son.

I am on various medications. Inderall for heart palpatations, Evoxac

in hopes of bringing moisture back to my life, Levoxyl for the

thyroid imbalance, Celebrex, Elivil for sleep and pain, and the

occassional Ultraset.

Does anyone have any good leads on vitamins and fish oils? I take

those, plus an iron pill because I'm anemic.

Thanks for having me in the group. Look forward to the messages.

Hello and welcome.

This is a great group of caring people.

Hugs, Jacy
