Hi Possi,
Hope you are doing better and the doctors can figure things out for you. Keep up the positive attitude and hope you get through the doctor appointments with as little pain as possible. Will be thinking of you.
I can not defeat you but I will not let you win

I'm sorry to hear about this. I hope they get to the bottom of it, and it isn't anything too serious. You'll be in my thoughts. Sending love your way!
Everything is okay. Trust yourself, and do not live from a place of fear.

Thank you all. I am "still" waiting on the appts. My dr. decided to add some more and is doing some research so it will probably be next week. It is cold (about 27, very windy with freezing rain and sleet. Needless to say, we made a pot of chili and are staying in. The girls were going to come over this afternoon and get Christmas out of the attic and put the tree up since I am not in to bending and lifting this year. They (who not that many years ago would have been out on the sledding slope) are staying in. I guess you do get wiser with age. Actually with just ice and sleet it isn't good for sledding but by Sunday we are supposed to have several inches of snow. Much too early for Oklahoma. I appreciate your encouragement and support. Hope you all have a great weekend.

Awww, Possi.  Praying for the grace to get through this testing and for acceptance if it is to be what they fear. I know you will continue on with your grace and make do with whatever comes your way. However, I also pray that you don't have this. Gentle hugs, dear Possi.

Right now I am up not sleeping with very severe pain. We have an extreme weather front coming in which most every one North/Northwest of us probably already know about. It is getting that time of the year. Yes, what a nasty front this was. Brrr. Did you get sleet/ice/snow? We are still with just rain, but EMSA mentioned a lot more auto accidents than with a normal night. More hugs.

Hiya Joyce, I'm doing pretty well. I started a new job a couple of months ago and was pretty much flattened by it. Went into flare and am fighting what I'm pretty sure is just a cold. But I started getting my feet under me again a few weeks back, so that's good. Not in quite so much pain; although, I still have days. And my job is going well, so I'm pleased about that. Not even on the Christmas page yet, myself. Probably start thinking about it next week.  Love and Warm Hugs,
Kat

Thanks Rumble. I hope not too but if that is what the tests say then I already have it and nothing will be changed except treatment. I had a lot of muscle problems last night mainly not being able to lift my eyelids. That is tough when OSU was doing a number on Baylor. Since it is autoimmune, I wouldn't be surprised. I am sure you know about the labs they are ordering. I hope you feel better this afternoon.
