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.

Lupus flare
After spending most of Friday and Saturday at the hospital last weekend for investigation querying pulmonary embolism, I returned home to rest but did not.
I did too much and by Tuesday night my whole body started to rebel, I now have pain all over my body and I just don't seem to be able to keep awake.
It is now Sunday night and I am in awful pain (chest, back and legs). My head is spinning and I am not sure if I should take some analgesic for the pain. This will surely help me with sleeping as I am feeling so tired.
Monday morning and I am vomiting constantly which is awful as my head is also aching and it feels as if it is going to explode.
The rest of the week i just slept amidst the aches and pain I felt.
Today is Tuesday and I am feeling just a little better as each day I wake up willing my self to feel better.
Big thanks to my friends who cooked meals and also came to look after me. Thank you Jesus for family and friends and for watching over us.
