Well, at least you have a few directions to go and research for yourself in. R has a theory that he had gotten bitten by a Lyme infected tick, and his father would not take him for medical care, and thus he may not have Lupus at all, but Lyme...but, he has been living with the Lupus diagnosis for a while now, and has been doing everything he can on his end to avoid flare-ups. Thank goodness you know about your food allergies already, thats going to go a long way towards keeping you healthy. Did your dr. have any suggestions about possible avenues that you may need to go in?Chickenbellshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13573889595933525371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15555813.post-63945182465249654372008-02-18T11:03:00.000-06:002008-02-18T11:03:00.000-06:002008-02-18T11:03:00.000-06:00HEy! Its been great getting comments from you!!<BR/><BR/>I'm not really sure what I'm going to do next, right now I'm working to make some green...hahaha. I start substituting for the public school district this week! wooo. <BR/><BR/>I have plans to go back to Mexico and work with the same organization this summer for two months..but this fall I really don't know yet. I am looking into getting a certificate for teaching English as a second language...but the big thing that'll keep me home this fall is I have student loan to pay off. If I live at home, and work in public school for a year, I should be able to pay it off no problem...sigh...I'm not crazy about the idea...but we'll see what happens! <BR/><BR/>love you cuz!!<BR/>HeatherHeatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00897471398335913768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15555813.post-31387525972400545332008-02-18T10:45:00.000-06:002008-02-18T10:45:00.000-06:002008-02-18T10:45:00.000-06:00Dudes. That's some heavy shit. It constantly amazes me that with all the advances in modern medicine it can still be an answer like "it COULD be Cancer, Lupus, or lyme disease. But then, maybe not any of those! Maybe you just have a toe fungus! We don't really know!"<BR/><BR/>Fuck, I can't believe we pay these people. I say take your ass to another country for a second opinion.
