A year later... surprise, it's LUPUS

The shoulder pain did not go away.

The latest is that the doctor thinks I have Lupus.  He put me on an anti-malaria drug: hydroxychloroquine.  He said I would feel better in 2-3 months.

Surprisingly, my shoulder pain abated within a couple of weeks.  I still feel very tired, and the medicine tends to upset my stomach.  But my shoulder pain is definitely better; not gone, but better.

I wonder if I should convert this blog to a blog about Lupus?
