One of those painful days...

“You never know how strong you really are until being strong is the only choice you really have.” (Motivational Quotes)

         
So today is rough for me. For some reason I’ve been getting skin ulcers and swelling in my left leg. The swelling causes so much pain for me and it’s quite aggravating. I’ve elevated my legs, taken 3 different types of pain medications, and also went to the doctor’s. None of those things were successful so now I have to live in frustration, aggravation and pain until this all dwindles down. The crazy part about it is that I was fine a week ago. This is how Lupus works. You’ll be good, then the next thing you know TRAUMA occurs. It really sucks but what can I really do but sit back and accept my reality. As I enter the New Year, I’m preparing for healing and coping. I’m hoping that I find better ways to cope, so that I won’t stress as much. Of course the stress triggers the flare ups. I am currently sitting at work, fighting my way through.

"Never Give Up. Trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration you can not go wrong." (Motivational Quotes)

I just love motivational messages or quotes. They really help keep me going. Every blog that I write, I plan to incorporate some type of quote to start off with. Today was just another day for me. No serious pain besides from this morning. Getting out of bed is always tough for me. My joints are usually stiff and my body doesn't create strength until about an hour afterwards. I woke up with my usual routine except today I had to go visit my Rheumatologists. During my visit he reported good news in regards to my kidneys and my test results. Although I was happy to hear the news, I'd prefer to hear the news about a cure. From the doctor's I went to work. I get distracted often at work because I'm always so tired. Daily I fight to stay awake. This is my biggest struggle with lupus. Today we had our annual employee luncheon at Darby's. It was a nice outing away from work and in a different scenery. I enjoyed myself with no real or major issues. Lupus is never my cup of tea but today it wasn't too bad besides me freezing like crazy at the office. A little Fun!
