Consultants visits
Went to the hospital on Monday to see the Gastroenterologist regarding the ma nometry and 24 hour pH test I had. The muscles in my oesophagus have been weakened because of the lupus and I have a moderate amount of acid reflux.
The consultant has decided that there is not much can be done I will have to cope with it (the constant vomiting).
If I was loosing weight or could not swallow I would have to have a feeding tube inserted into my stomach (called pep)
via my abdomen, which would be left in for me to be fed only liquid.
On Tuesday I went to see my Rheumatologist because I have been feeling awful again with aches and pains and fatigue, also breathlessness
My Rheumy has decided I should have another three Chemotherapy treatment as it did help to improve my breathing.
I have now been given the appointment for the infusion next week. I will have to go and have a blood test the day before.
My body is still aching and I am not having enough sleep so I am feeling very exhausted. I have to give thanks to God for sparing my life and carrying me each day, because with Him I would surely fall apart.

Antibiotics
The last few weeks have not been good and without the help of Jesus, friends and family to carry and support me I don't know how I would have managed.
I have been feeling so ill over the last few weeks with aches and pains, sinusitis and a cold. I went to see my GP who gave me antibiotics and told me I am suffering from hay fever even though I haven't been out doors for about two week prior to seeing her.
The antibiotics did get rid of the sinusitis but not the cold or the aches and pains. Now I have a constant tickle in my throat and I am forever coughing and clearing my throat especially when I talk.
I am taking over the counter medications for this cold and now I am asleep more than I am awake (it could also be because I have been feeling very exhausted for the pass few weeks). Which is also fatigue, part of the symptom of lupus.
Right now I feel I want to scream as I can't get rid of the tickle in my throat and my head and body is aching so much. Oh! And I want to sleep.
So please help me Jesus I know you have been good to me and you have promise never to leave me or forsake me. I think I will go and get a hot drink and hope this will help my throat.
