So i saw my PCP today about my foot/ankle pain. I cant put any weight on it without it stinging and aching like anything! He took xrays and were still waiting on those. he has my foot in a boot and i have to follow up with the foot doc. and PT. It just seems once one thing is under control its just another. Somedays i dont know how i can keep going. Im only in my 20s and ive had to give up so much already.....
::hugs gently:: It does seem very unending, doesn't it? But... as much as it gets me down too, the truth of it is that this is how all life works, whether one has Lupus or not. (Heavens know our financial records would prove that!) There always IS something... often several somethings all at once. It can be terribly overwhelming, and venting can help. I hope things look up for you soon hon.
today I could barley get out of bed, I am only 25 years old and I feel as if I am 85 years old I don't know how to deal with this I have been battling this my whole life but was diagnosed just about three years ago, No one I know understands what I go thru , Right now I am the only provide my family and I feel to once I cope with one thing here comes another...and another ... and another.... But I pray ALL the time and that seems to be my only relief. I can barley even type this message because this terrible pain in my arm , hands and back
just keep swimming.. swimming.. swimming .. as dory would say.
Hehe, I love this! Just keep swimming indeed. It does seem like that's all we can do. I only wish I had Dory's indomitable good spirits. Her cheerful attitude is a good example, but an awfully hard one to emulate. (Course, her spaciness and ditziness is a good portrayal of how I feel with lupus fog too.) Mebbe she should become our mascot, rofl.

I like it!!
Yes I often remind myself to just keep swimming! I have a shirt that says it, and. Ive thought of basing my bathroom off of it. Its really all we can do. I never thought about dory and her ditzness and all going all back to lupus brain fog! Bwahahahaha!!! :)
Wow - your foot - my leg! Yesterday my leg started aching and I can hardly walk today! Up goes the prednisone dose.....its definitely never ending!
I suspect that the next rheumy visit will move me off of Plaquenil and on to fun stuff like Methotrexate.....

Sorry that you have had to suffer for so long. I too tell myself the same thing every day - Just Keep Swimming. It may sound silly to some, but those few words have kept me going.
