Seems I have Churg Strauss Syndrome. My main obvious symptom at this stage is vasculitis in the legs and arms and hands, particularly the right (I am right handed). Walking is very difficult, and I have no function in my right hand at all.
I won't be doing much on the internet - it takes so long to get around with one hand that gets tired easily.
So if you have been thinking I am ignoring your blogs, you now know that is not so. It's just abit too much for me to cope with yet.
I am on high doses of immunosuppressants which also keep me awake, so i will have time to practise on the laptop. So as long as my left hand doesn't deteriate, i will get there. :) I also have to get used to not using a mouse. lol
Have to admit, my world feels a little shaken at the moment, but as one of my friends says, 2 steps forward, one step back stills equals forward momentum.
I am so sorry to hear this. I have never heard of Churg Strauss Syndrome before and after googling it, it sounds nasty. I do hope the meds help and that you can get something done that you like to do.

Oh dear! I'm sure sorry to hear about your health problem, Lindi. You shouldn't have to be dealing with this! I can't imagine how debilitating it must be - not able to easily use your hand or leg. It sounds like a daunting condition to deal with. I hope your prognosis is for a full recovery. Thanks for letting us know.
