Good news so far…
so far, I’m handling the plaquenil well. It’s been a week and a half and still experience a bit of nausea but I have to say the headaches SUCK!! No rashes or other reactions so I’m going to stick it out a while longer.
I see no reason why two chicks can’t get married. Goddamn laws.

Don’t look now, but the world’s fisheries are plummeting.
Earth has blue skies and red sunsets. Mars has red skies and blue sunsets…
On Mars, cats chase dogs and scientists get hounded for autographs…

More tests
i had my lip biopsy two weeks ago and I got the results today. My tissue is showing signs of Sjogren’s. All my symptoms point to it and now this kinda confirms it.
My stress test came back good but I’m “de-conditioned.” DUH! When you can’t move without pain, you have a tendency not to move. I’m working on that though.
Had my echo today and should hear something early next week. And bloodwork too. It’s been a wild two weeks.
I’m okay though. I don’t ask “why me” because there’s no answer to that. Well, personally, I think stress has a lot to do with my situation. I’ve had a lot of stress in the last nine years.
I just keep going though. That’s all I can do cuz I’m not giving up.

The Mother of Modern-Day Genetics: Henrietta Lacks. Lived: 1920-1951
When tobacco farmer Henrietta Lacks was diagnosed with cervical cancer at the age of 30 in 1951, all she wanted to do was get better. Sadly, after eight months of radiation and surgery at Johns Hopkins University Hospital, Lacks and her tumor-riddled body lost the battle with the disease.
However, unbeknownst to her and her family, her cells lived on — right up until today. Known as HeLa cells (a combo of the first two letters of her first and last name), they have been multiplying since the sample was (secretly) taken from one of Lacks’ tumors and sent to Dr. George Gey’s tissue-culture research lab back in the 1950s. Not only did Lacks’ cells help scientists test the polio vaccine, HeLa cells were also sent into space.
Unfortunately, Lacks’ family didn’t find out about the grand experiment till the early 1970s when a researcher from Johns Hopkins called them. But now Rebecca Skloot’s recently released “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” will ensure history knows the unprecedented role Lacks played — and how her body revolutionized modern science.
