Handle your 💩

I often feel like I’m losing my mind and I can not tell what is a symptom of illness or what is made up by my old pal anxiety (good morning heartache). My concerns have always been dismissed by my friends, family, and medical teams and I just sort of dealt with it (momma didn’t believe in sick days) and pushed forward. I’m hitting the wall now folks. Things are progressing more rapidly and forcefully and I need help. So I’m at work feeling like freaking Uma Thurman Kill Bill Vol 1 getting to the Pussy Wagon, and Co Star comes thru with this gem. I always handle mine and this is no different. We move forward and onward y’all.

Does anyone with Sjögren’s also deal with aquagenic wrinkling of the palms?

I assume it’s due to Sjögren’s. I could be wrong.

Warm water between 5-10 min (like a shower); one hand worse than the other. It started suddenly a few weeks ago (I was diagnosed w Sjo’s last October) and was curious if anyone else has had this problem. It’s a matter of annoyance only, at this point. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated 💭💕

Allergies 5y

#Lupus #Fibromyalgia #sjogrensdisease #FlareUps

Hi Guys, I've been diagnosed with Sjograns, Lupus and Fibromalgia,
I've been having crazy flares for the past 4 weekends, I work during the week so weekends is the only time I get to rest. 4 weeks ago, when these weekend flares started, I got a puppy. When I was younger I had blood tests done and it showed that I am allergic to dog's, cat's and any furry pets. I thought I outgrew this. I am not getting any allergy rashes (other than the lupus butterfly rash) I am not getting any pet allergies.
Could my flares be caused by my puppy? please help! these flares are really bad!

ChronicIllness 5y

What has your reaction been when people tell you you need to “get some sun” etc?

I am looking to write a piece surrounding comments to those of us with chronic illnesses that also make us photosensitive and/or the sun causes painful flares. I have had my indoor hobbies “knocked” for a long time, but I have built a life indoors for a good reason.
