Well can't say live hasn't had it shares of road bumps lately I tell ya. I did go to the ER because my fever by mid afternoon had gone to 100.7.  The hospital where all my records are is our city's major trauma center & last night they had more trauma cases come in then they could handle so it really makes things interesting.  I got there for 5 p.m. & finally had a dr see me after midnight. He feels I had come down with a "bug" but it was showing itself more thru diareha, fever, cramps, etc.  But the only concern had been my dehydration.  When they questioned me abt when was the last time I had voided(urinated) by that time it had been 20+ hrs.  So they gave me a large IV fluid drip to help get my organs back in motion so to speak.  I also got orders to stay on a low fiber diet for at least 2 days. I got home abt 2:30 a.m..  I'm still just not doing well, crampy, so so tired, no appetite, but I guess with Lupus this might be considered reasonably normal.  I've got an appt with my rheumy this afternoon & even though I don't have the energy to go I think it's important I see him. Lastly, to all my dearest friends, your support meant so very very much to me.  I'll love you forever for that.
