Still at a loss

Had my appt. with the ortho today (love him, btw) and he still has no idea what's going on. I'm not that surprised really. The symptoms I have do point to an auto-immune disease and that's not his specialty. He did say that if Dr. B doesn't think I have AS or some other form of an AI disease, to come back and see him for cortisone injections.

I have a call in to my family doctor to see about the pelvic varices and will be seeing her on Tues. A little nervous about that but no sense in worrying right now until I hear what she says.

My eyes are killing me. They feel bulgy and dry. I've also been fighting horrible hot flashes. Not sure how that connects but it sucks nonetheless. I think I'm gonna call the eye doc back and see if I can get in to be seen or if he wants me to just do the drops. I have held off on taking them because of the contraindications for certain AI diseases. I would think/hope that the retinal specialist knows this and still considers it safe-hence why he gave the drops to me to begin with-but we'll see.
