Think I'm flaring :(

Ugh.

The past few weeks I have had some severe neck pain; but in the past few days it has subsided and my neck is totally back to it's good ol self.

Then, I noticed I was having some breathing difficulties coming up the stairs; and my elbows also have some of those ulcers on them...

I just had labs done on Weds and no one called me... So I guess I will have to call them.

Today I was planning my garden and ordering seeds... I really hope that if it is a flare I can correct it before gardening starts ... I'm so discouraged.

Get on them about your lab work! I want you to stay ahead of the flare. Rest my dear, do our usual protocols. I'm around if you want to vent. *hugs*

[pberggren1]

Ya, I would call them to get the numbers. I still don't understand why you don't get copies e-mailed to you.

Nice pic Carrie. I hope you start feeling better and that your numbers come back fine

[carriej22]

Thanks Debra

I am so upset. I have been feeling off; but I just put it for other reasons but now that I see the things on my elbows it's like... Nope, this is probably wegener's.

My Dr did call for my labs a month ago and was concerned, but I didn't feel terrible then and it was right before Christmas so I put it off. Hopefully I can get some answers on Monday..

Carrie, you are NOT allowed to be flaring.

This sucky disease is supposed to leave you alone for a while........actually, 2014 was my wish for it to leave everyone alone.

My fingers are crossed that it is just something totally normal and that your lab results are fine.

If you are breathing is different than normal, and you are coughing up blood, GET TO THE DOCTOR! I didn't for two days 22 months ago, and found out there was lung damage from the wegs.

I am so sorry, but GET THIS CHECKED OUT ASAP!!

I hope its nothing, but it sure sounds like wegs is rearing its ugly head again.

Crossing my fingers for you!

Carrie, I'm sorry you aren't well--time to call the doc. And about the blood work -- no news is no news --so get the results.
