It's been cloudy all weekend. Yesterday was damp and dreary in the 40s with heavy fog last night. Today it's damp and 60 degrees. The rain with thunderstorms comes tonight.

The weather is not helping. My sinuses are awful and I'm in the middle of an uncomfortable autoimmune flare. My left leg was all stiff and hurty yesterday. I was limping while I walked. I had planned to go grocery shopping yesterday but felt too lousy. I'm going to run to the store in a while because the flare is less intense today.

After I see the foot and ankle orthopedist on Tuesday I'm going to call my old rheumatologist's office up-county and schedule an appointment now that the winter weather has broken. When I look at the symptoms of Sjogren's syndrome, including the digestive tract issues and chronic fatigue stuff, it all fits my symptoms to a T. I probably have at least 90% of the main symptoms affecting various parts of the body. With the chronic dry mouth I have thrush on my tongue yet again. I have to eat more yogurt and rinse my mouth out with salt water to get it to go away.

I need to ask her about running diagnostic tests for Sjogren's since the new rheumatologist lost interest and can't be bothered. I haven't seen her in six months, with no appointments scheduled, so it's time to drop her in favor of my original doctor.
