so, it's my birthday, and I'm just not feeling that great. I'm still dealing with the stress of my sweet baby going to playschool...he has another crying fit today as I left :(
I've started classifying how I feel into two different categories: energy and pain. When I was so sick last month, it was a combination of both...intense pain and draining lack of energy. I was having trouble even getting out of bed, much less wrangling my 3 year old child all day.
After "the big sickness" last month, I started feeling better. My skin showed a tremendous improvement, and my energy got a lot better, I could actually get off the couch.
But now the pain is coming back. Gradually, day by day, I just get a little more sore. First I had an achy upper torso, then my elbows hurt, lower back, and now much of my body just hurts.
I really hope that the medication (Imuran) starts kicking in in ways other than healing the skin. I'm still on prednisone as well, although I'd really rather get off of that medication.
Anyway, just a general update, a little whining. I'm having difficulty at this point figuring out at what point it's OK to just hang out on the couch all day and when I'm well enough to actually do stuff. Today, I'm good just lounging around (plus, it's my b-day, I deserve it! :)
My mother and I are working on a sickness scale to track how I feel, so that should be helpful when we get it finished.
