Surviving LUPUS

is here again. I notice the red rash last night and the scarring that goes with it. My skin is dry. Not only on my face but also on my ears. And so the rash is a testament that indeed my LUPUS is really active. But I am thanking God because when I woke up this morning, the aches on my joints are not really severe that I was able to prepare for the little girl’s schooling. I am thankful that I decided to have the school bus fetch us. Though the fee is a bit expensive but the convenience is really something that I am grateful for. Not only the convenience but also the security with the thought that the personnel from the little girl’s school are doing their best to make our little girl safe.

I have a question, if you want a certain type of business what would you do to avail it? Me? I search the internet. But if I don’t find the answer in the internet I would consult the phone directory. Most of the time though colorful banner stands helps me a lot when tracking the establishment to best suit my needs for the time being. Yeah, believe it or not I am the kind of person who take the time to read brochures and if the service appeals to me then I make a call and fortunately most of the business that I contact delivers.

I know undergoing Drug Treatment is not an easy matter. In fact quiting on a habit is such a hard task that you don’t know if you can make it or not. For example, when you want to quit smoking. The husband has been advised by our doctor to start thinking of giving up smoking. There are already health concerns that he is enduring that the doctor was tying up with smoking. But Dr. I knows that the husband would have a hard time to quit so he allowed him a few more months to get used to the idea before he put a halt to his habit.

Until now the source of Michael Jackson’s death is not yet known. But there are news that are surfacing that MJ died because he was injected a certain drug that triggered the cardiac arrest. In the past, Michael Jackson has admitted to being addicted to drugs. You know with thoughts like that I cannot help but wonder if I am close to being addictive also to pain reliever. Well, I am just taking paracetamol and not everyday because really I am so scared that one day I will find myself dependent to it and can live without it.

1. Where were you when you heard that Michael Jackson died?

At home.

2. How do you think that he will be remembered?

By his music. He might have died but his music lives on.

3. What was your favorite Jackson tune?

A lot. But I love Billie Jean, Rock with you, Gone too Soon.

4. Did you watch the original Charlie’s Angels?

No. But I remember my mommy telling me about it.

5. Did someone you know have that poster of Farrah?

I don’t really know.

How much do you think those Ferrari parts cost? No, I don’t have a real Ferrari but we do have those miniature one which are being sold on a local gasoline station here. While watching my daughter played with those luxury cars, it made me think that there are really a lot of fortunate people who can afford such expensive cars. But there are much more unfortunately people who really don’t have a single penny on their pocket and don’t know where to look for source for their next meal. If only I am rich, I would definitely make an effort to help those who are suffering with LUPUS but don’t have the luxury of good treatment. That reminds me of my promise to check out World Vision. The husband and I already talked about sharing our blessings in our own little way. We are not millionaires but we consider ourselves lucky because we have enough to keep our little family growing. So, in return we wanted to extend a helping hand.

This is what I decided to do when every day of this week I was suffering from LBM. Believe me it was excruciatingly painful. lol. With me having joint pains and problem with my mobility, a trip to the the loo is one of the thing that I hated doing. Because I have to walk, sit and stand. And my knees cannot take on the pressure. hehe. So I nailed down the cause of the LBM — the redjuice. Yeah, I know it says that I have to anticipate the increase in bowel movement but man! six to eight times is not usual for me. I am afraid that at one time I would end up dehydrated. And so I decided to STOP the detoxification.

Is LUPUS attacking my LUNGS again? I have been coughing today. Not badly though but something tells me that I needed to have another high dose prednisone. Of course I won’t increase the dosage until I see my doctor. I just have to wait for ten days because I wanted to have a clear urinalysis. The last time I had my test, I did not follow the ten days after your period rule so there was pus cells. I hope that this time the pus cells is gone. I just hope I won’t have to increase my steriods or else there would be weight gain again. Thank God for diet pills. They are alternative for those who can’t find a way to loss weight like me.
