My computer was in the shop for a week which is why I have not been on here for a while. Lots of stuff has been going on.  I think I’m going to take each crisis/happening per one entry.

Last Monday I had my monthly appointment with my Rheumatologist for my Orencia infusion.  Between months I had done a bone density test.  Insurance companies allow you to get them every two years.  The test in 2008 had revealed I had Osteopenia which is the pre-cursor to Osteoporosis.  It was a blow to me back then, being only 38 and not really fitting the profile of someone who should have this.  Due to me still having regular periods I could only really take Vitamin D and calcium.

Two years later I now have Osteoporosis!  I was really shocked that I had declined that badly considering my age and that I was taking the supplements.  My doctor is running tests to see why this is happening.  In the meantime he told me to make sure my floor is free of objects I might trip on and not “hurry anywhere”.  Hello, I have a three-and-a-half year old?  It’s impossible to keep a sparkling clean floor!

In the meantime I am so stressed out because I have so many deadlines for paperwork for disability and food stamps.  I feel like I could be up for 24 hours straight and never get all this work done.  Which is impossible anyway since I sleep and rest over twelve hours a day.
