@gillysmom You have certainly had a difficult time with multiple chronic diseases! And now even more so, what with being bedridden. Are you able to be up and about at all? Do you have someone caring for you?
What is most bothering you right now?

I can feed myself with prepared foods, which means navigating a flight of stairs. I have to hold on because I am still weak from the aftereffects of vertigo. My most pressing issue was transferring my Hizentra gamma globulin infusions from home in Oregon to son's home in VA. That meant finding a new immunologist and getting it all processed and activated. I had products for a couple of months to tide me over, and just managed to activate all as my stuff was running out. With all the problems, I just tackle one at a time. If the Hizentra didn't work out, I would die, so that is the priority. I;m still working out the small stuff with that. Next two tasks are finding a cardiologist and rheumatologist. Son has driven me to appointments with new immunologist, but so far only getting the stuff going and no real progress. My sickness and weakness makes going forward difficult and slow. Son works hard as home as CFO for small company, so I ask as little of him as possible. .Before the Covid vax, I was independent and on an organic diet and seeking solutions for many physical problems, but medical support in my home town was less than third world poor. Was virtually on my own for years.
