Oh ya'll..I am so tired of this wheel. I spent the last few years caring for my mom with Alzheimer's and basically traded my illness issues for hers. She passed on her 87th birthday on August 1st.

Not long after..I was forced to go back on Plaquenil and all the old meds. Just had a crazy vasovagal episode on Friday that landed me in the hospital. Saw the PCP yesterday. He is convinced (just from looking at me) that I have Scleroderma.

Being the copious researcher that I am, my symptoms do support Scleroderma. He is referring me to 3 or 4 specialists.. It did say that Dysautonomia is a part of Scleroderma.

So here I go again trying to determine who the best docs are..if there are appropriate treatments, etc.

Back in the loop!
Take care.
Sandy
