I had a cat scan at 8 a.m. and was hoping to hear from the infectious disease specialist this afternoon.
She thinks it could be Still's Disease, an auto-immune arthritic condition. My niece had Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis when she was a teen.
If it is, I received an accurate mental DX after 20 years the exact same day I was hit with a nasty, debilitating, rare, physical illness. The treatment options are every bit as depressing as depression treatment options.
At it's worst, it's high fever and hip replacements.
They call me...Lucky.
