So disappointed about way life is going-Lupus

Well woke up all swollen, red, and hurting. I think Lupus is active again. Having trouble with my stomach and nausea. I hate Lupus. Well the remission was wonderful while it lasted. My son broke off his engagement. A little happy but also disappointed. He said he just wasn't ready for long term commitment. I guess he is smart, he is only 23, he has plenty of time. Guess he will be at home a while longer. I really think he is afraid to leave momma. LOL. His ex-girlfriend that is pregnant is due i… Continue

Going ons at Kimber's house

Hello everyone. Still fighting this bronchitis. It has been a little over a week now and still fighting it. If I am not better by Monday, going to see the doctor again.

The doctor told her that the changes in her brain is due from her getting older and her hypertension. Her hypertension has been under control for a couple of… Continue

Sick again......surgery was canceled again.....................

Well, came down with a viral infection on Wednesday so my surgery (colonoscopy) had to be canceled, yet again! My doctor told me to wait until warmer season, said probably would be better to schedule then. Been in bed for past two days. Sometimes feel like crawling in a hole and dying! I guess we all feel like that sometimes. I mean, in our lives we can't schedule anything! I know that you my Lupie friends understand. Can't plan to go out to eat or anything, cause we never know when we will be s… Continue

Eye appt. update

Well I went to my eye dr yesterday and got good news. The Plaquenil is not bothering my eyes so far. My vision is 20/20, but I have to wear glasses to read or when I am on the computer. He renewed my Restasis and I don't have to go back for 9 months. My mom has to go and get new glasses and has to go back in 6 months I believe. We have the same eye dr and Rheumy, so we always try and get our appts together. My mom has been hurting a good bit from her arthritis and Fibro. I don't know how she wor… Continue

The rollercoast ride called Lupus/Fibro/Etc/etc/etc

When I was a young child up till I was 20, I adored roller coaster rides! I would ride all of them and any of them. I enjoyed the rush, excitement, thrill, and heart pounding experience. After I turned 20, I thought what the heck was I thinking that crap was dangerous. When I started having kids, I feared they would want to ride the roller coasters. My boys have been daredevils all of their lives. They climbed trees and the barn, you name it they did it. I dreaded the day we would take them to… Continue

Anyone watch The Shield on FX which has a character on it with Lupus

Hey everyone. One of my favorite shows is The Shield on FX channel. On the show CCH Pounder, the actress plays the Captain who has Lupus. It is a really great show. It has been on for about 5 seasons now, and this season is the Series Finale. During the show it has shown how the Captain's Lupus has progressed and affects her work. I think the show has done a real great job of portraying the disease Lupus. If you can catch the last shows, watch it. There is a lot of language and violence, it bein… Continue

Life and death-sick and tired of it! Venting!

You know in the past several months my son has lost several friends to horrible car accidents. In the past three years he has lost a total of about 10 friends. I have lost several good friends in the past two years. I know that death is a part of life, but I am sick of death! I know I should not be angry, but I am! After losing our wonderful neighbor this week I have even become more angry. I am angry because Tara was taken away. I am angry because there is no cure for this damn disease that we… Continue

She is at home resting and being her normal strong self. We are all worried about my father in law, because he is just beside himself. The surgeron is setting up an appointment with a… Continue
