I hope you are all feeling well...at least as well as you can . I have my first appointment at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, in a few days (Aug. 3). It appears that I may have just gone into a flare, too. Low fever since Sunday night. Feeling just all over crappy....but I have to laugh because my first thought was "Good. I would hate to go to the Mayo feeling well!" I am scheduled to see an ENT (Ear, Nost & Throat) doctor for my swollen salivary glands ...

The reason for being depressed is that I have had excruciating pain in my left leg for about 14 weeks, I have had a cortisone injection in one of the facet joints in my lower back that has made NO difference what so ever ! I have had a cortisone injection for bursitis this has helped a little bit but not much ! I am so sick of the pain! ...

It doesn't matter what I eat it comes right back up. I am really worn out. I went to a follow up appointment with my pcp, he didn't seem to care at all. It's almost as though he doesn't listen to what I have to say lately. My rhuemy is 3 hours away, so I can't jump in the car and go see him anytime I want. It is getting impossible for me to work. I had to have my pcp fill out some ...
