Hi there, sorry things are so rough, glad you have an up and coming appointment, do write it down in bullet points all the history and the things bothering you, so you get the most out of the appointment, also make sure they look at your levels of Vitamin D, B12 and Iron also your Thyroid as if any of that is not right, you will feel very much worse.

I had a problem with the mouth ulcers until I started making a ranch salad dressing with live culture buttermilk. You have to use it on a regular basis for a while, but once the flora in my mouth became balanced, I did not get the ulcers. Live culture yogurt would work, too.

Hi Lesley,

Sounds good that you are going to see a doctor who knows about APS.

Hope you will be well anticoagulated now. I have not done that Electromyography. I wish you good luck!
