Well I wish there was different, more exciting news to report this week but alas...there is not. In fact, I think as far as feeling sick goes, this week can be ranked up there with the worst. I went to my General Physician last week just to try and get a handle on the fevers I was having. I wasn't expecting much. However, after an exam and a face x ray (yes, first time I've ever had my face x rayed) come to find out I had a sinus infection that, since I have a pretty altered immune system at the moment, I wasn't aware of because it didn't show the usual signs and symptoms of an infection.

So, the Doc put me on some antibiotics, a night time allergy pill, cough syrup and mucinex and I must say the fever has been non-existent the past week which is nice. However, yesterday my stomach decided it hadn't been in the game yet and wanted in. I started feeling nauseous sometime yesterday and my stomach is visibly swollen. I spent a big part of last night trying to get my insides on the outside. One thing about me and I'm not sure why....I hate throwing up. Hate it with a passion. I'm almost sure it's the medication i'm currently on and I honestly cannot wait for the day when my medication has been tailored right for me and I can live some sense of a normal life. Trust me, that day can't come soon enough. Lately, my personal life has been non-existent. I go to work, I go home and spend my spare time usually sleeping. I sleep roughly 14-16 hours a day and would probably be a lot more if time allowed.

Luckily I see my Rheumatologist on Friday this week. Hopefully he'll have some answers or solutions. In the mean time welcome to my life with Lupus.

Take care!
