Sjogren's is something you live with your whole life. The good news for me is now I know what's happening after spending years not knowing... I feel like I can get better and move on.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have been recently diagnosed with Sjogren's Syndrome, an autoimmune disease which is an ongoing medical condition that affects my energy level and causes fatigue and joint pain.
There's every reason to think SSRIs blunt your ability to fall and stay in love.
The moment I started treating my social anxiety disorder, I started feeling better.
Part of recovery is relapse. I dust myself off and move forward again.
There are several drugs out right now that can't stop multiple sclerosis, but they can slow it way down. They also made me puff up like a balloon. So I looked horrible. I hated that.
I am mildly addicted to Mucinex-D. I feel like I should just come clean about that.
Breakups are a horrible thing for almost everybody I know. For someone who is a love addict, it's debilitating.
I just think my body can't handle it any more. I did try a little drink a while back, and I was actually physically ill. I went into an immediate depression, and felt awful, just dreadful. So that's it. I'm over it now.
It's a difficult thing to overcome, but I've been quite fortunate. I haven't been out of work, literally, since 'M*A*S*H' went out of production.
I'm very much a typical midwesterner, and I don't think the condition is curable.
