Life With Lupus - Online Support Group

As all my friends know i have been having trouble with having MRSA in a few places, well i went back to the doctors on Thursday, having got the day wrong and going the day before, i did feel silly. Anyway i have been given a couple more weeks of antibiotics, and some stronger pain killers, and a steroid injection, and have to go back in a couple of weeks time. I also have to get some bloods done, and have an appointment with my Rheumy on the 1st of March, so things are being done, it is getting me down now, i am abit better than i was though, thank god, I am just fed up with the hot flashes through having a constant tempreture, which i am trying to keep down with paracetamol etc. And i am really fed up with what seems like constantly having something extra to deal with, i shouldnt moan as i know there are alot of other people who are going through so much worse at the moment. And at least i am being treated and things will get better, i will be patients, just thought i would let those of you who have been helping me to keep strong know whats happening with everything at the moment, thankyou everyone who has been there for me through this really hard and trying time, love and hugs Astrid40xoxo

Hi Suzie D., thankyou for your lovely message. Youre right i am ready to be healed now, and everything always seems alot worse than it probably actually is when we feel awful. It will go as i am improving abit, so i, like you say just have to have patience and keep strong. There is so much piling up around me where i havent been able to do anything. I am going to have to get to the community hospital really early next week as well, as i have to have some bloods done, which i am not looking forward to, i can handle the bloods being done, its the getting up really early, i always feel washed out in the mornings. The new drug that the doctor wants me to start in a couple of weeks has a sedating effect he said which is worrying me, if its too bad i will have to ask if i can change it, as i am tired enough as it is. Maybe if i have it early evening it wont be too bad, and i might even sleep better. I hate meds that give you that hung over feeling like a fuzzy head. I had that once with a pain killer before and hated it, ah well i wont think about it until it happens eh? Trouble is with us women we think about far too much all at the same time. Dont worry about not having replied yet, i totally understand. There has been a couple of days where i havent felt like doing anything whatsoever, so i havent been able to come on, as i have been feeling too bad. I think it helps for me that i have my laptop on a table that swings under the bed making it easier for me to use, if i had to sit up somewhere and type i wouldnt be able to come on here as often, as its too painful to be sat on a chair up at the computer, i expect you also find that as well. I hope you start to feel abit better soon, those antibiotics really wipe us out, i was joking with my doctor about them, that the only good thing about them is that they make us sleepy, so we sleep better at night and a few hours instead of just the one. Usually i am up and down like a yo-yo in the night, but taking one of the cephalexin late at night makes me sleep for a few hours instead of just the one and a bit which is good, but i wake up feeling so stiff, so role on when the mattress topper is here is what i say, hehe.

I think you have just created a new word for the dictionary, hehe. I knew what you meant though, hehe. I expect i have misspelt a few things before. Anyway i wont keep you, take care, look after yourself, love and hugs Astrid40xoxo
