so tired Mood
Wednesday, April 8, 2009

But blessedly there wasn't much happening today, got to stay home all day and even get a nap in, I was wide awake for three minutes! Then the exhaustion set in again, now if only my throat would stop hurting... augh. I feel really pathetic after fighting pemphigus all this time just to have a random sore throat/virus make me miserable all over again. That and my back I still can't figure what's wrong... they took x-rays to see if maybe it's fractured or the bones are thinning from being on steroids too long time will tell. Also have to go see a regular doctor about my asthma getting worst, so I'll address the back pain then. The pain meds haven't been helping it lately.

 

I started back up into school best as I could, it takes so much energy just walking to the class, my mom and sister were there for me the first few weeks back thankfully, my sister still goes with me and just takes her homework with her. They've all been a big help. I threw everything I could into going back and trying to catch up with the class, and even finished my chair in time to put it into the art show. My teacher suggested I pour my feelings of pemphigus into the chair. I did and named the piece Pemphigus Vulgaris and in the end I looked at the poor little chair remade and hooked up to an IV (the one I got to keep from when they pumped me with antibiotics at home after the last hospital stay) and it really did look like it was fighting pemphigus just as much as I was.

 

My teacher has been really understanding as well and doesn't want me to push myself too much, I was too late to catch up with the class on the clay heads and had to do some projects on my own and help out a little with them when I could.

 

Lately I've just been so tired, sometimes I want to give up again but I remind myself of how far I've come and I WILL beat this. It's hard 'cause not everyone understands the exhaustion that comes with it, at least it's not like before and sleeping the days away just so hard to focus... especially on tests and things, I'm really dreading finals. Mostly praying for this sore throat to go away! One thing at a time.
