I have been battling with my health (or lack thereof!) for several years and have just gotten a positive ANA result and my SED rate is 87. I feel horrible and my doctor is out of town until Friday. I have pain medication, but I am so fatigued I can barely stand, even if I could it hurts to stand on my own two feet. My hands hurts to type, but I can not tolerate noise to talk. I am waiting to get an appointment with a Rheumatologist but that will take some time. Can anyone help me with advice on how to survive until Friday morning? Do I just sleep until then or what? Pain, fatigue, weakness, swelling and my temperature is all over the board. No fever, just hot, cold, hot, cold.
