It's been a while since I've posted here. Been taking care of some medical maintenance. Overnight sleep study (now awaiting new BiPap machine), eye scans (macular degeneration has progressed), bloodwork (mostly good), Rheumatology visit (switching from Enbrel to Humira). Have a Lexiscan & echo scheduled for next week (following trip to ER for chest pain/SOB). I've gained a couple of pounds but I'm still within my maintenance 'window'. Autumn is my FAV season of the year, but since the change of weather & time change...I just feel lethargic & lazy. Not exercising as much as I'd like or making as good of nutrition choices. But today I will turn that around! I have every reason to feel blessed & loved! I've been reaching out more to my community (visited the local library & Grange bazaar) and joined a local chat group on Facebook. I've missed the 'social' aspects of life since retirement & moving to the sticks. 😂 You folks here on FS have been my lifeline through the isolation of Covid. Can't thank you ENOUGH!! So! Onward we go! Hope everyone gets a chance to vote today (I did already). Our country sure is divided these days (more than I ever remember) and it really does come down to just being decent to each other, even when we disagree. Love ya! Blessings! 🧡🍁🧡🍂🧡

Your last sentence says it all! It's ok to disagree but being nasty about it is definitely not ok!!!
I hope your medical issues get better! I'm praying for you. 💜💜💜💜

I get a new CPAP machine on Thursday! I know if my settings get off I can have chest pain/burning. I haven't used mine for the last 4 nights for that very reason. Will hold off until my new one and after I meet with the respiratory therapist. Hope all works out for you!:)

StormsGirl, apparently I get inflammation from my psoriotic arthritis that attacks my rib cage/sternum...the extra testing is mostly just to eliminate cardiac involvement. Thanks for your kind words💙

Diana, you're a sweetheart 💕 I've gotta stop watching all the stressful bickering & threats on the news. It doesn't help with my autoimmune issues. Problem is, hubby has it on TV a LOT! 🤦♀️

NAVYWIFESKI, I've tried cpap machines in the past but can't tolerate them. This latest study was to see if I did better with bipap instead...and I did!😊😴
