Loss of memory

Friday night I vomited nearly all night and in between I remember that I hadn't changed the tax disc on my car at the end of February (I am praying that the vasculitis is not affecting my memory).
I spent most of the night searching for the new disc, so at 07:00 I was up to check the disc on my car as I really couldn't believe I have been driving around for three weeks illegally.
I actually found the disc at about 08:00 in a box with all my bills (thank you Lord for helping me in time of need and distress).
Saturday was another bright and sunny spring day. Went out to lunch again with Bob (of course the lunch went down to my oesophagus instead of my stomach until night time when it decided to come up again). Went to bed fell asleep knowing I was going to have to vomit at some time. Woke up coughing as I had started to vomit in my sleep, stayed up until 02:00.
Sunday another warm and sunny day, went to church came home and had a nice relaxing day watching carrying on films.

Springtime

Spring is here at last, it seem as if the dark months of winter was never going to go away, but I am happy to say I am looking forward to the bright and sunny days of spring (praying this will be the springtime of my life where I will be coming out of the dark period of lupus and into good health).
Felt quite unwell on Tuesday, went to bed early as I was so sleepy. Woke up in the night with a sore throat.
I got up this morning and I now have a cold.
Hooray! The cold didn't last, although my back is very cold and aching.
Went out to lunch with Bob today (Thursday) and had a very nice meal. It is now night and I am hiccuping and belching and now all my lunch is up again. I continue to vomit until the early hours of Friday morning.
Today I decided to not mope around the house so I went out to the toning suite and had a good time exercising and meeting new people.
I am now hiccuping and belching again so I have to go.

Joint and muscle pains

Went to bed very late on Friday night. Slept until about 06:30 when I woke up with awful pain in my abdomen, lower back and legs.
Got out of bed about 10:00 after reading and praying.
Had a long soak in the bath to ease the aches and pains. It is now afternoon and my back is still aching a lot.
Had my dinner and I have started to hiccup and belch.
It is now bedtime and I am vomiting and coughing again which has now left me very breathless.
Sunday am, I have been awake very early as all the pain of the previous day is back with a vengeance but I am not going to let it stop me from going to church.
It is Mothering Sunday here in the UK and I received some beautiful bouquets of flowers (which has left me feeling very special) from my children far and near. I also had a plant and lovely cup cakes at church.
Thank you God for helping me to see and enjoy another year with my family.
Had a good day at home just relaxing and now I have just had a wonderful meal (praying it will stay down).

Toning suite

Went to the toning suite this week, I feel so much better for going out and exercising and meeting people.
I was very breathless when I got up off the table at the toning suite today (Wednesday), as I got ready for bed the breathlessness and coughing returned.
Once I was able to breathe properly again i manage to fall asleep until about 02:00 when I woke up with heartburn and backache. I got up to take antacid medication and have a hot drink.
Stayed up until 05:30 reading and praying before going back to bed. Slept until 08:50 when my alarm went off (the sound of a ship's siren). I had to be up because I was having visitors arriving very early.
Had a good day with my prayer partner.
Today I went to the toning suite and I was not breathless and passing the swimming pool was not a problem (thank you Jesus).
Looking forward to having a great weekend.
