Well I've been holding my own quite well most of the time lately.  I seem though to go thru several nights where I don't sleep too well but it seems to me that can be quite common with Lupus so like I've been told I don't hesitate to nape during the day. The no dairy thing with my diet is going OK but I oh so much miss real cheese and all the dairy goodies.   I'm hoping when I see the Maturopath beginning of July that I'll be able to maybe eat a dairy thing once or twice a wk.  It has made a huge difference though. My rheumy reduced my Prednisone to 1/2 a pill every 2nd day.  If I stay OK then in November thats it, goodbye, see ya around Prednisone.  I've been on it abt 2 1/4 yrs. Been taking Tai Chi classes, boy is my co-ordination or lack thereof getting a going over.  It's not as easy as what one might think but it's been good. So many sad cases at the animal shelter right now.  More mature cats always take so much longer to find someone to love them.  I was brushing a fav of mine today, Cosmo, and when I was done he stood on his hind legs & put his front paws around my neck.  Talk abt feeling choked up.  You shd of seen the dissappointed look on his face when I said thats all sweety I have to go now.   Remember everyone, I love you all & keep room for you in my thoughts/prayers.
