Want to feed my dog, feed myself and be left alone (with my dog) tonight.

Wow definitely busy! Why did you have to go twice to work?

You should think about getting tested. I've been tested more than once for autoimmune diseases because I share so many symptoms and having IgA Deficiency puts me at higher risk to get an autoimmune disease.

How do you test for this? I mean is it blood test or something else?

Quote:

But yes, Sjogren's Syndrome is an autoimmune disease that many women have and are delayed in getting a diagnosis because you can put some of the symptoms in the category of being normal or whatever. Venus Williams has Sjogren's.

Now that you mention it, I have read about Williams having it.

Quote:

Genetics and hormones for sure.

Yeah

Quote:

Makes sense.

I was just at a doctor's appointment and the nurse (male nurse) said something very interesting to me... he said breathing and water are the two most important things you need to remember. So many people overbreathe or brace and don't breathe enough, they are constantly in a state of stress because they are not breathing correctly. Then there's water... it's important to have tons of water for your mind, body and spirit. It's just so true. Two simple things... breathing and water, people take advantage of and ignore.

True

. I have always said that I stay away from jogging because I just can't breathe properly for that. I get so stressed just because I do not know how to do it. In the end this does not relax me. It makes me go crazy

.

Quote:

Yes, I had to try different kinds of Dove. All of them worked but the sensitive skin, dermatologist recommended, frag free one works best. Anna can only use Dove too. My Grandmother was the same way! What works for some doesn't work for others though.

Agree

. We are all different. Dove does not work for me nor for my mom, but it definitely helped your family.

Quote:

He should know better. It makes me even more sick knowing he's a grown man. It's not like he's even in his early 20s. He definitely knows better. Shame on him.

He definitely should know better

. It seems he does not.

. Ah this sucks so much. Sorry to read this. Quite understandable to be heartbroken given the circumstances.

I had a scheduled meeting so went for that. Then two hours later I found out I left a bunch of paperwork not just in my office but out in the open in the lab. I could have had someone take care of it but it would have bothered me all weekend.

Several blood tests. You can also have a biopsy that will find it but usually blood tests are only needed. Of course eye tests will show significant dryness.

Apparently she stopped most of her symptoms by going Vegan and removing all sweets.

Yeah

I'd look at him with disgust if I had to be anywhere near him. I'm pretty good at covering up my true feelings when necessary but in this case I wouldn't care if he knew what I thought of him.

Anna and her gang are touring Princeton today.

She was gushing. Anna loved finding out Michelle Obama graduated from there. She was sending so many pictures. They were having a blast on campus and around town.

She's having so much fun.

I'll be honest... they are enjoying NJ so much they're even putting off NYC! Hannah's family is everywhere so they're certainly being taken care of as well. They're going to NYC tomorrow and then another day or two Tuesday and/or Wednesday.

How's your family?

**jediwands** · 07-23-2017, 03:19 AM

It's like a ghost town on the board, lol.

Anna and gang are heading to NYC this morning. 7 AM to be exact.

The Crow · 07-23-2017, 04:11 AM

The road trip is officially started. We're in St. Louis right now, and by the end of today we'll be in Gary, IN.

**jediwands** · 07-23-2017, 04:20 AM

Have fun, Alan!!!!

**jediwands** · 07-23-2017, 07:03 AM

Anna/friends are in NYC.

Makes sense why you went back the second time

I see. Yeah my blood tests are generally OK excluding the thick blood

Interesting. Glad that she found a way to deal with this.

I understand you. It's kind of difficult to work with him because I do think about that. However I have no other choice. He is part of my team and works on my project so I have to interact with him.

secretk · 07-23-2017, 10:26 AM

Alan have fun!

Michelle how long Anna will be away?

Betty how is on the beach?

There's specific tests for Sjogren's like ANA, RF, Sjogrens antibody something or another lol, sed rate, a few others. Next time you're getting a check up you could ask for some of those just to see. You probably don't have it but you never know.

Has to be tough directly working with him. It's easy to ignore him if you just worked in the same room with him and shared office space but working directly with him on your team is a different story. You're handling it perfectly though. You're letting him know when he says stupid things you don't appreciate it, it's not acceptable and that's all you can do.

They are returning early Thursday morning.

They are presently having an absolute blast in NYC. I could write a novel sharing all of her comments, adventures and experiences but it would be too long and would even make my head explode.

They are just living it up, having so much fun in New York City. Let's just say I've received so many OMGs, I'm in heaven, this is magical, I never imagined how beautiful, comments and phrases from Anna.

Yeah I might ask next time I have blood tests

It is tough because whenever once someone starts annoying you, you find more and more reasons to be annoyed

. So now even if he doesn't cross any bounders I still find him annoying

. Yeah the only thing I can do is to work with him and if he oversteps to tell him so.
