Hi Everyone,

I have been diagnosed with sle for two years, but had docs trying to
diagnose me with it about 15 years ago. Sigh.

Since I am on disability/medicaid, I have not yet seen a rhuematologist. I
lived in Utah before and there wasn't one available, and here in Oklahoma I
am on a waiting list for the ONE in my area. Right now I am just taking
diclofenic for pain, which only helps a little.

I would love to get on something that might really help ease my symptoms. It
is frustrating not to be able to do normal things.

Blessings,

Margie

Hey Cindy,

I live on the far NW side. I have medicaid and apparently there is only one
doc accepting patients right now under it. Hopefully I will get into him in
the next month or so.

It is frustrating, the pain. The nurse practitioner they gave me won't give
me anything but the crappy pain pills, you know cause the ones that work are
addictive. Lol. Never mind I took them before without a problem.

I hope I can try some type of preventative treatment. These fronts moving
through ever few days is making my lupus flare badly!! It has been 20 years
since I lived here, I forgot how often the fronts move through. Lol.

Margie
