I'm with you @Anastasia , you can't see me, but I'm with you.
Crossing my fingers and toes for a diagnosis - so then you know what your dealing with and can move forward.
My aunt & her daughter both had/has lupus so I have some understanding of the daily pain you are in - it's awful. But good on you for trying so many alternative therapies to try and help.
Love & strength
L & levi

Thank you all for your messages of encouragement, I am very grateful, you are such beautiful souls xox
Funny it is almost exactly a year ago that I saw him with the last major "flare up" - might be the weather???? Anyway I had bl00d tests which he can then compare to the previous ones and go from there. Everything is still pointing towards the dreaded diagnosis. I will get the results Tuesday.

That does not sound good @Anastasia but maybe knowledge is power. Once you know you can work towards what will help ...hugs and hugs and hugs

No doubt Hon - it is a lot to process and deal with but I personally think it is better knowing so you can work out what is best and what you need to do for a better quality of life - you certainly cannot keep going as you have been - it is too much physical and emotional pain @Anastasia
Extra big squishy hugs incoming gorgeous
