I'm so lucky in my life

Went to see my Rheumy today told to prepare for my next infusion of
Rituximabb sent for blood tests. He says Rituximab should not affect my
breathing. But I told him I would waite until I see the lung specialist before I decide what to do.

Now your not going to believe this, you know that list of medical problems I have
Well it got bigger today, I could hardly believe it and I’m glad Mrs C was with me, today he said he thinks I have Sjogren's Syndrome. Having just read up on it I think the same but why have they taken this long to discover it as my symptoms have been the same for a couple of years.
I am keeping my chin up, just in a bit of a daze its like i'm collecting these things, At the moment i just want my mask so that i can at least try to get a good nights sleep. I believe if i start sleeping ok It will make me feel better and take away some of the aches and pains.

Oh dear Colin, not another thing to add to the list :shock:

Not content with everything else, you've now added a Scandinavian illness too ( It's named after Swedish ophthalmologist Henrik Sjögren ) I think you would be an excellent candidate for medical students to study; if they could diagnose all your medical problems, they would pass all their exams with flying colours. But you could also teach them how it's possible for a patient to stay positive in the face of so many illnesses.

I hope that the mask is working well for you, and that you are getting more sleep.
