@beachesanddreams Thank you so much! I hope my bloodwork comes out alright and everything is a go.
Yes! we grow all kinds of hibiscusus and lots of different flowers and vegetables in our garden.
We truly seem to be very similar and synched! I didn't realize you also had an auto immune disease. You're very right about them being linked. I sometimes wonder if that's what started causing my osteoporosis at a young age. I was diagnosed at 49 but who knows how long I had had it. Hope to keep in touch! Have a good rest of your weekend!

@cpog At the moment, no specific name is given to my autoimmunity. Xrays and an MRI show no evidence of inflammation or inflammatory damage to my joints. My doctor says this is reassuring, but we still can’t rule out an inflammatory condition.
Right now I’m focusing on the osteoporosis, and she was in agreement with that. I’m doing so much better off methotrexate and Skyrizi; in fact, for me, both caused additional inflammation, which is what I’m managing now with exercise, gentle stretching, heat or cold therapy, and light massage. I’ve also really prioritized rest and sleep while we try to figure out what’s really going on.
My weekend was bliss. I felt great, spent lots of time outdoors, and rested a bit.
I’m also wearing my Apple Watch to bed and tracking my sleep, and that’s been kind of fun, actually!
Oh, the things that bring us joy as we age. 😂
