Sorry to keep you waiting so long.

It took me a couple of days to digest all the info from the Dr., and then my DSL was out all weekend.
First off, the good news: I do not have Lupus or any other rhuematic illness. Nothing degenerative.
Apparently, what has been going on is that I know my body, an d whether my Dr. thinks I am too young to be experiencing the joys (not) of menopause or not, that is what appears to be causing all the pain and agony. So after a little delay where I let a Dr. I don't really want to be using convince me that I have an illness, when what really needed to be happening was an overhaul of my hormonal system. If I had a penny for every time I tried to tell this may I was experiencing menopausal symptoms........

The bad news: and really not so very bad when you think what we were going in to hear, is that we need to get my hormonal system back on track, fast. Regardless of the cause, month long headaches are not good.

There is tons more stuff going on here, since Thursday, and on into this week. We are supposed to leave for Portland on Wed, and I have bills to pay, laundry to do, decluttering, not to mention teaching the kids, and being at my Mom's today while she has an appt. with the Community Services for the Blind people.

I will try to post more later,
