Strength to carry on
It has been a week of vomiting, aches and pains in my body especially before I get out of bed.
Went to visit my 95 year old friend on Tuesday only to find her confused about the disappearance of her back door keys (the keys where there in front of her). After looking in her fridge decided to clean it and then along with her daughter - in- law cleaned her kitchen, it was only when we had finished I remember how ill I felt as my back was hurting so much and I could hardly stand. I have to thank Jesus for blessing and giving me the strength so I could be a blessing to others.
I have been vomiting constantly every night. I would say only my breakfast have been staying down each day.
The vomiting has now affected my throat and my voice. I now sound as if I have a cold and I am been asked if I have a cold.
Yesterday (Saturday) I went out to lunch with my family and the vomiting started as soon as I returned home. My throat became very painful and sore, I was very difficult to swallow and even to have a cup of tea. I think it has now started to affect my thyroid gland (I have a small goitre and nodules in my thyroid gland).
Today (Sunday) my throat is not as sore as yesterday but I do feel as if I have a virus but this is the way I feel most days because of the lupus.
I know that the days when my body feels weak such as the vomiting and joint and muscle pains that there is someone carrying me (Jesus). Without Him I would probably give up. Thank you Jesus for sustaining me.

Another virus
The week started off with the usual vomiting before going to bed and just general aches and pains.
Today Wednesday I was woken up by the telephone ringing. I jumped out of bed to answer the phone and felt quite dizzy.
After having my breakfast I got up and again I felt very dizzy and I had to sit down again so as not to pass out.
I am now experiencing awful backache along with the fainting feeling, tiredness and fatigue. I have decided not to go out for the rest of the week as I think I may have another virus.
Saturday I had a long soak in the bath to try to get rid of the backache before going out to the hairdresser.
Sunday woke up with pain all over my body but decided to go to church as the pain usually go once I am out of bed and mobile.
Each day I wake up I declare the day belongs to the Lord, because it's His day He made it and I am going to be glad and rejoice in it. Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in His house forever.
Thank you Lord that I don't have to go by feelings to know that you are with me always and you have promise to never leave me or forsake me.

Blood blisters
I had to go to the doctor on Wednesday morning because I had another blood blister on my tongue on Tuesday, as were having lunch at the motorway services. My GP did not know the cause of the blood blister, she even consulted another doctor who did not know the cause also. My GP will now write to my Rheumatologist as I keep forgetting to tel him about the blisters each time I see him.
The blood blister I had this time was very painful and my tongue felt very swollen. Which prevented me from been able to eat or drink properly.
I have posed this question to other lupus sufferers to see if others have reoccurring blood blisters and the cause and treatment. I now know that quite a lot of lupus patients get this regularly but their doctors do not know the reason or even treatment.
Today is Saturday and the pain is just going away, the next time I have another blood blister I will record my state of health, was I tired etc.
Spring Harvest was very good but tiring for me and my body hasn't recovered yet. I have been getting up early for a few weeks now and I am feeling very fatigued, so now the Easter holidays are over I am praying I will be able to relax and stay asleep for longer and not just in bed reading or up late watching television.
Thank you Jesus that you have promised never to leave or forsake me. I am so grateful that you have not left me during this difficult time of my life. I have turned my back and even try to hide myself from you a few times but you have remained faithful.

Spring harvest
My back was aching a lot last night and it kept me awake most of the night.
Had my breakfast at 05:00 and went back to bed at 06:00. It took awhile to fall asleep. I slept until about 10:00, when I got up to get ready to leave for our journey to Minehead, Somerset (UK) for Spring Harvest.
We had a good journey but my back is still aching.
Woke up at 02:30 Good Friday because I had vomited in my sleep.
Had breakfast and then watched the bible reading in the chalet before going to join in the discussion group in the zone.
After lunch I went to watch the Saltmine Theatre Company perform a series of funny biblical sketches.
Came back to the chalet because I am now feeling exhausted and unfortunately I am vomiting again.
I am now in bed trying to rest until dinner then we will go to the Big top (a hugh marque holding four thousand people) for the evening celebrations of worship and preaching.
Vomited a lot Good Friday and most of today (Saturday).
Preaching and worship was awesome again tonight.
Each day we have been going to the discussion zone which has given us food for thought but it has been very tiring for me.
Went for prayers on Sunday night and again today (I was told to come for more prayers today for healing) just waiting to see the manifestation of my healing.
Awesome preaching tonight. I have just been watching a puppet show with George (it was for all ages as most of the children are now in bed). George and I are going to watch a street dance crew at 22:00.
The dance crew were awesome.
Today, Tuesday is our final day we got up early to pack the car, leave our chalet and go for breakfast before going to the Big Top for the final celebration and communion.
