Life Update! (4/15/23)

Hello everyone!
So, I just wanted to let everyone know that it will likely be over another month until I am going to the hospital. First off, still doing research into the best place I should be going, and second- I have quite a few medical things to attend to beforehand.
I am suffering in immense pain from my knees due to my knee problems, so in 3 weeks I will be getting knee injections again. (Fun......xnx)
Despite the initial horrid pain of the injections for the first couple days, after a couple weeks it REALLY helps with the pain for around 6 months or so.
My orthopedic doctor is also very worried that I may have rheumatoid arthritis....which I pray is not the case, but since I have Hashimoto's and Sjogren's already, it's certainly not off the table, and the way my knees get inflamed and the way I can't walk for several days after the knee injections isn't normal.
This is a fear that we've had for awhile- and I pray it isn't true, but yeah, I will be setting up an appointment with the rheumatologist as well and hope they can get me an appointment in a reasonable amount of time- but if they can't get me in til months out, then I will have to forgo it for the time being because I can't wait that long to go to the hospital. :"<
A lot of physical and mental health issues on the board as you can see, and of course, my mental health is suffering immensely still.....I want to get better.
Anyways, just thought I'd update you all to let you know that I will still be here for at least another month or so! Again, I will make a journal when the time comes to leave.
Much love <3
