Things keep getting better and better, even if there's still a long way to go.

Mrs. D. is negative for Lupus, so her fatigue and pain are likely due to her thyroiditis and her fibromyalgia. She'll be seeing her doctor next month in Manhattan. And I'll be seeing my neurologist on June 10 in the city as well. We're going to try lowering the dosage of the beta-blocker to see if the medication is causing a drop in bloodpressure that in turn might be causing the vertigo, which has become a daily problem. To compensate, my cymbalta may be increased, as the tremors seem to have plateaued, and really only get worse under stress, although they are permananet and another daily reminder that things don't work as good as they used to. So some good news in the midst of challenge. Thanks for caring. Andrea
