"Why couldn't I have some kind of glamorous illness ... like where my only visible symptom was enough weight loss to leave me with really good cheekbones. And maybe some kind of interesting pallor that would make my skin appear as alabaster ... but I won't get greedy. The cheekbones would be enough.)"

Too funny!!! I understand! I actually started taking pictures of my various swollen body parts and my bright red eyes when they flare. Makes for a nice photo array! NOT! At least it gets the point across to the doctor that although I may look ok that particular day I'm there to see her, I more than make up for it on other days! I'm also thinking that if I ever have to apply for disability, it will be a good record of how the illness has progressed.

I get shortness of breath but all my cardiac stuff comes back fine. They say its from inflammation in my chest that causes my chest not to expand fully. I don't get how I can be how such a high dose of steroids and still have so much inflammation!!

I hope you continue to improve after having your gallbladder out. It took me a few weeks to get back to "normal."

Have you thought about physical therapy to hep with your shoulder? I've been through three separate rounds of pt this year alone but it does help.
