Bad blogger!

I've been a bad blogger.... and I apologize.  Life gets busy sometimes, and illnesses sometimes take over our lives, no matter how much we try not to let it.  Just been feeling down and out of sorts lately.  So sorry about that.  I'll do an update on what is going on!

I went through a bad spout of horrible fatigue.  Tried everything I could to help it, and nothing worked. I saw my Rheumatologist a few weeks ago... I believe it was September 28th.  He ran blood tests and nothing showed up for the fatigue, said it's probably from the Methotrexate and Humira that I'm on.  Joints looked fantastic! Yay! 

I've also been experiencing horrible cramps.  I was diagnosed with IBS back in June, but this is period cramps.  They start two weeks before my period and last through most of the dreadful week. I was diagnosed with dysmenorrhea (cramping disorder) back when I was 12 years old, and have taken birth control effectively ever since.  For the past two years, the pains have gotten progressively worse, even with hormone changes to my birth control.  I see an OBGYN next week - primary care doctor suspects endometriosis.  I'll have to wait and see what happens. 

I have some ideas on upcoming blogs, so I should get back into the swing of things soon!  :)
