Journal Entry for January 28, 2009 Mood

I feel pretty good except for joint pain. I have been in physical therapy for my back. I have been very busy with our new puppy kaylee. She is  so cute, but a lot of work . She follows me everywhere and eats everthing. she is not housebroken yet. I love having her, she is good for me.   I Have been changing my diet I am off jenny craig which I beleive harmed my eyes and cause the harding of blood vessels. I am back to my own diet eating healthy and I am loosing weight so that is good. I gain alot of weight from steroids.  We also  went to the vitiamin shop and got high quality vitiamins and fish oil. I am trying so hard to get my body as healthy as possible. The joint pain is from cold and snow. There seems to be no shortage of snow. I so can't wait for spring. I had enough of cold and snow. The dampness kills my joints. I feel good overall so I am not going to complain. I have good energy and I am having no other symptoms today!!!!!!! yeah!!!!!!!! so it is a good day. I am trying to balance myself mind body soul thats when I feel my best.

    I have a lot of joint pain in the cold snowy weather too. I can tell as soon as those cold nights come in October right through till May that I am in more pain and more stiff. We had a foot today! I should say ANOTHER foot! LOL I take 1000mg of Fish Oil every day and it really helps me with the stiffness. I take a multivitamin with green tea extract too. I have lost 30 pounds since August. I too gained all my weight(60 lbs) on the steroids. Also I take Vit C 500mg. I figure it can't hurt. It sounds like you are doing all the right things. Having a new puppy will keep you moving! Lots of long walks to tire her out! lol :) Cheryl

Thursday, December 11, 2008 | A General Update story

All my blood levels for lupus came back A+. My back and neck problems are not related to lupus. So she said I should have physical therapy. Now I will go to my reg Dr. to check my cholestrol . So I can see if I needs meds. I am concerned about my eyes (hardening blood vessels)I am tired. But I am in good place. I am sleeping much more lately and napping.The weather is crappy. Raining and Raining. I would love to see the sun. I am going to rest today and watch tv and relax. I have things to do but they will wait. I come first.

    What a great visit. I am glad the labs came back good. Is the hardening of the blood vessels in your eyes related to lupus?
    I am glad that you are taking it easy today. I hope you get some much needed rest.
