Nuisance Disease
Nuisance: inconvenient, annoying, or vexatious; a bother
My Rheumy told me, when he first diagnosed me, that Lupus was basically a nuisance disease with possible sparodic life threatening episodes. I am still learning to cope with this.
As I sit here at work, not really sick enough to justify a missed day, I ponder this definition. I haven't eaten since my protein drink at breakfast, 5 1/2 hours ago. I'm hoping the cafeteria has some pudding. I think my mouth ulcers will allow me to eat some pudding. I couldn't find my Lidacane this morning so am going 'raw'.
The Imodium stopped the constant painful 'flow' just in time. I feel that if I would have touched the little burning ring of molten fire that is my sphincter again, it would have imploded, turning me into a human jack-o-latern.
When I am over this latest 'nuisance' I am going to concentrate on my weight again. I have lost 45.8 pounds since January. I have yo-yo'd 33.2 pounds for a total YTD loss of 12.6 pounds. The cold, creamy pudding and ice cream that my mouth ulcers will tolerate isn't going to help. Kinda hard to eat vegies and fruit right now.
