@kidsmomof9 Really just a question here. I have a systemic form of Autoimmune, Amyloidosis Gelsolin. Every tissue and fluid I have has been invaded by mutated proteins. I have been previously diagnosed with "Upon my first diagnosis, Sjogren's, I was advised that having just one auto immune disease is rare and to expect them to find more. Yes, they did. Primary Biliary Cholangitis, Hashimotos, Gastroparesis, Ulcerative Colitis, peripheral neuropathy GERD, arthritis. My eyes are too dry and I can rarely drive, lost my teeth to dry mouth." But my current diagnosis includes possible forms of Amyloidosis which shows all these symptoms, and now I have shingles as well. It makes me wonder if these systemic (impacts the whole bank of body tissues and fluids) are what you have, although it is quite rare. I can name a dystopia of every tissue from my toes to my cerebrum which is a result of Gelsolin. It is not violent, but the impact can be fatal, especially as it invades hearts, lungs, brain, pancreas, kidneys, liver, etc..

Hi Oldkarl and whomever else is reading this, this is Peach again. It seems we both have many of the same diseases (or problems) with our bodies. Some inherited, some where and how we live and eat and lifestyles etc., etc., etc. We know we are suffering mentally and physically yet we keep going on. Why? Many, many reasons why and perhaps so we can leave a legacy of trying to help others who are suffering. To let them know that they are not alone, that they are not the only ones. Would it be kind to place our brains into a human looking robot to live out the rest of lour lives without the many pains we are suffering with? Then to go into the hereafter living out the rest of our lives in a much more pleasant way. Instead of spending much monies on drugs, pills for pain which do hurt the body organs (and really do not do much for the pain itself) but to muddle the mind create the "THING" which will hold our brain (and soul)? Now I must come out of the deep abyss and be back to reality, "Ouch it does hurt so much".

Dear OldKarl, my eyes are so dry they are being treated by doctors and have also lost all teeth due to this. Gerd, two arthritis, Hashimotos, Rheumatoid and Psoriatic arthritis, Diabetes and right now the kidneys are ready for dialysis. These are among eight other medical problems to long to list. As well as now having Shingles. VERY IMPORTANT: Perhaps this Corona virus is prompting and producing the Shingles?
