Autoimmune Flairs Suck


I have been dragging through the past two months or so with a Sjögren's flair up. I get them regularly and stress and weather conditions, alongside complications from my Ehlers-Danlos and other conditions, can make them worse.
Been having a horrible time with my tooth and jaw issues.  The nerve pain has gotten so bad I have had to increase the amount of Gabapentin I am taking and taking it to near maximum daily allowances just to get relief. It's gotten so bad I have had to blender things I eat and stick to eating soft stuff. It's insanely frustrating because the pain is so bad at points between it and the Gaba I can't think straight or get anything done. I have a whole mess of updates and things to share for Chakotay that are back logged, among other things.
This is one of the first days the Gaba has been able to control the pain enough for me to sit and type some.  I also have some medical updates but that will come in a different post and may wait till Monday since I have an appointment with my Rheumatologist.  Hope everyone else is fairing better and doing well.
