More Than 1 Condition

[size=18][/size]
Has anyone else out there got more than I condition ??? In my case I have Chrohn's, Rhumatoid Arthritis, Asthma and pust.p most of these started in my early 20s & 30s.
Boy looking at that lot I think I must have swollowed a medical dictionary (maybe thats the strange taste I keep getting :D :D) The medics all tell me, that all are connected as they are all auto-immune problems, if this is so, then there must be more than just me with multiple probs ::) ::) (or am I THAT WIERD ???) I'm now at that stage when I think 'why bother about breakfast and dinner' when you can have a handfull of pills instead! :-/ :-/. Now the p.p has started on both hands, whoopeeee more creams and stuff ((:b. It's all one big juggling act, tabs and creams for one thing offends another, get one thing under control and there is another one
that cries Yahoooo! now I can come out and play :-/, and so the cycle begins again. One good thing to have come out with the hand flair up, is I have found some mates who are, if not in the same boat, then in one very similar and they don't mind if I let off steam. The blood family all try to be supportive, but, you can't show them your down side as this upsets them, then you get upset because they are upset because of you, so added stress begins. At least here I can say just how I feel and then get a good laugh and learn lots of tips reading other posts and yes it would appear that laughter is the best medicine. Also it's great not to be so alone (if only with 1 prob). One of my other little probs is that one specialist tells you to do/take one thing and then another tells you 'no you must not use that' because it will trigger this ???, so a bit more juggling to do, but the real bummer is when they tell you to use something but have no idea where you can get the 'something' (in my case gloves, both cotton and surgical in size small ::)).
Well I just read this lot and maybe no one else will, or reply but I certainly feel better for getting it off my chest. In case someone doe's take a look, thanks.

Hi Amcham,
No, no joy yet with gloves, you are right DRI does have them but :( and there's always a but is'nt there, I can't have any until I see the derm (here's that but   >:( again) they can't tell me when that's likely to be.So I just have to wait. Gp can't get me any either because most suppliers have stopped making small size.

Thanks Hopeful,
Will try the hairdressers for disposible ones.

Hi Goldilocks
Has your doc made appointment  for you to see the derm ? If so how long. Because if it has been quite long time you can phone the derm yourself and ask if there is appointment for you. I had wait about 4mths for my first appointment. I hope that you have some success find some gloves in a hairdresser.  :) Amchan

Goldilocks .... you'll have done the obvious and gone to Boots, yeh? :-/  I've got my surgical and cotton gloves from there before now ... they even have the non-latex ones which are much nicer. I'm sure you will have checked this possible source of supply .... so just ignore my posting!!  :D
