Realized I haven't posted in a month, and that is bad blogging etiquette (yay, I finally remembered how to spell "etiquette"!). Not much good news on the lupus side of things. I've been feeling fairly cruddy since going off the prednisone...gradually getting a little worse each day it seems. Mostly muscle pain in my back and neck and arms...it's quite hard carrying my sweet baby who is now over 25 lbs!
It's frustrating really...I am still in a bit of denial I'm sure. I know I should be cutting back, reducing stress, increasing sleep...but these are momentous tasks when you have a 17 month old baby and run your own business. Can't really cut back on being a mommy, and working at the store is enjoyable and stressful at the same time.
The rash on my face is back, though not as bad as before...just the classic malar rash on the nose and cheeks. I have these weird rash/spot things on my leg...I went to the dermatologist and he did a biopsy of them...surprise, they're lupus!
The dermatologist also commented on my thinning hair...I guess it's been so gradual that I didn't really notice, but I guess it is thinner than before...oh joy.
Anyway, not the cheerfullest post, but it's not the cheerfullest time. Have a lupus support meeting tomorrow, hopefully that will be interesting.
