Lupus really giving me issues... Mood
Friday, October 30, 2009 | A General Update story

It's pretty much winter here already. High today is 38F. I've been in a horrible Lupus Flare since Saturday and I'm just feeling better today. SSDI check is here...time to pay my half of rent and utilities and off to the drug store to spend the rest.  I've got to get meds to tame ths horrible Rhuemetory Arthritis. I can't even pick anything from the floor, it's so bad. No position is comfortable for more than 15 minutes. Needless to say...NOT SLEEPING WELL! I'm exhausted, depressed and cranky. Winter is so darn early here. We've had days that it has snowed, although it is all gone now.  How will I get to spring??????? I promise to journal on a day I'm feeling better, next time!

I HOPE YOU ARE ALL WELL!

    I know exactly what you are saying. As soon as the weather changed here (NY), I started hurting. And I cannot sleep with the pain keeping me awake. Most nights I have to sleep sitting up. I am hoping once the temps level out I'll be better. I hope you will too. Hang in there! Spring does come eventually! :) Cheryl

    I have the dreaded Rheum.Arthritis, & it's been giving me hell for 3 days (thundering weather) - but is suddenly OK today (so I'm typing like mad!. So sorry to hear that you have the awful Lupis - that's one mean disease. I've already apologized for talking about the weather alkl the time (checking my Jl. entries - it's really embarrassing, but it dominates my life - I must get busy on making the move north. Do hope you get some relief from the dreaded stiffness. Fond regards JaneD.
