So, had the rest of my labs. See the rheumatoligist again Tuesday to go over them.
Bili, protein and calcium oxylate crystals…
Not liking what I research…
That was the urinalysis
I can imagine, Tonya. But let's see what the rheumy says. I'm thinking it's not a great idea for a lot of us to jump in with predictions.. how are you feeling?
Madere,
I know, the research scares and I need to stop. I have lots going on and feel things get worse everyday. I feel exhausted and have a headache today and my chest and back hurts. I scare my husband I think most days. But, we’ll get thru it. How are you?
I've had lupus a very long time, you can stress yourself out with worry and speculation, with lupus you will learn things are not always what they seem, labs that might seem weird today, could be completely normal a week latter.
Hopeful,
That’s true, and stress as to make my symptoms worse. But until we figure it all out and get on the right treatment and supplements. …I feel like crap and worry about damaging my organs…especially since I’ve had so many things go on…
How long have you been a Lupus Warrior?
I'm one of the few here who isn't a lupus warrior, Tonya. Mods reddog, Talencia, and Trisha are lupus patients; I just help out. I hope you feel better soon, and that your medical team gets you a great treatment plan.
Hi Tonya
I have had lupus for quite a while. I am also a nurse so research was something I did when I first found out. I spent so much time worring about what could be going on that I didnt take care of myself. Try and slow down and take one day at a time. It can take a while to find what works best for you. I spent many years with little problems or complications then things changed and I had to work out a new way of living. Try and get plenty of rest eat right and find some exercise that works for you. When you see the doctor ask about aqua therapy the warm water works great.
Hi Purple butterfly,
Learning to slow down is hard for someone who goes a 100 miles per minute. I am learning to though, more like being made to because my body says so.
I feel I’m advancing awful fast and that scares me. 2nd rheumatoligist appointment today
Hoping for more answers.
My arms are weird, noticed weird dimple like things in my forearm muscles. Is this lupus?
It’s really odd…
I’m tracing myself to paint, which is relaxing.
Trying to just get this figured out.
Hoping for some answers today.
Haven’t tried exercising because The littlest activity, like laundry or cleaning house, wipes me.
Aqua therapy sounds nice, checked it out locally but the hours don’t work for me.
Hot tub sounds great, but my neck looked horrible after using a rice bag, so not sure about the heat.
Anyhoo, nice meeting you.
Love this group, everyone is so nice and full of info/advice.
Have a WONDERFUL day
