First day

Today is December 21, 2016, first day of Winter!! YES!! that means to me that spring is just around the corner!

So my daughter recommended me using word press for a blog of my diagnosis of  Sjogren’s.  I’m new to this so I”ll see if this is going to work for me or not, but my idea is to document what is going on with me for in the case anyone in my family are diagnosed with it (hoping and praying no one is).  Other than the diagnosis which was about 5 years ago and in denial mode until February of 2016, I am healthy.  February 2016 I  was on my way to work and discussing issues with a coworker and “SJOGREN”S came floating by in my mind.  We were actually discussing my hoarse voice, hard to breathe, tiredness, swelling of my glands to almost being deformed.  So I took that floating signal and called my Dr who set me up for tests.. reconfirmed SJOGRENS!! DAMN!  In a nut shell, the next 2 months were horrible, I felt diseased, I felt like there was no hope, my moods were up and mostly down as why did this have to happen to me?  I did my best through out my life to take care of myself, my children and family as best as I could and also helped anyone I could in any manner I could.  Anyway I’ll elaborate on that later.. but for now.. here is my first blog on the internet haha!  Also I want to share what I’m going through and maybe it’ll help someone else or at least let someone else know they aren’t alone with this and to inform what I’ve learned and going through. No pity party just sharing is all..!
