Test results...

By
Got test results back today..NO lupus and NO rheumatoid arthritis! Praise God! It looks like the swelling in the bone may be coming from my left leg muscle deteriorating and weakening my knee and caused synovitis or it's regular arthritis. :) Hoping a round of steroids for 12 days, crutches, and pt exercises does the trick. If my leg muscle keeps deteriorating, then this could be a recurring problem. Pray for a miracle of muscle building with this Myasthenia Gravis!

There isn't much you can do for the leg except try and build up that muscle which is EXTREMELY difficult if not impossible with MG. BUT, I'm praying there is some improvement as I have seen a slight improvement in the past when I was able to ride my bike.

Decisions...

By
We've decided (my husband and I) for me to stop taking the chemo/ immunosuppressives . They have really made me sick and it's just not the way we want me to live. There was a time I didn't take them because they caused some cancer (cervical) and I didn't want to get any other cancer. During that time, I felt really good and then a tragedy happened in our family and that's when I started getting worse again. The medicine has caused anemia and me feeling sick to my stomach ALL the time. I can't live that way. I am going to continue to take the experimental supplement and the Mestinon for neuromuscular function and see where that leads. I think it will be a great benefit to be off that chemo drug. I feel like I have been poisoning myself with it for so long and when they doubled it, well, that was just too much. Today is the first full day without it. It may take a good week to get it out of my system to where I feel better. I'm hoping that happens ...

Skirts...

Well, I'm back to wearing them. This time I am really happy about it. :) It was weighing on my heart for a while that I just didn't feel modest enough in my jeans. I talked with my husband about this because he is the one who really wanted me to wear jeans. He enjoyed "looking at my shape." I enjoyed him looking at my shape, too. I just didn't enjoy others looking at my shape. We talked it over and he realized that I was being a stumbling block to other men. He really didn't want that. Finding pants/jeans that are modest is very difficult to do. They are cut for a females shape. If you find looser ones, they usually look pretty silly. So we decided skirts will be just fine. They are feminine and pretty. It was difficult when I wore skirts before because I was very plain jane. My husband didn't like that at all. I have found a few skirts that are modest, feminine, and cute and he likes them a lot. I believe modesty is a heart issue first and...
