Man, I am trying to play this hand dealt today

But it is not Aces over Kings that is for sure.....

I think I might be jack high and and I am not playing Euchre.

Would like to know the triggers.

I am so curious to triggers in my body
I woke this morning relatively pain free for me. Had all my typical tremors.. but nothing new there.

As the morning progressed my Hip started to hurt... then my knee, then my shoulder, now I have a foot that is going dead.


I wonder if it is the heat of the day 90 degrees again and I just can not handle it? I wonder, I really do. I went from I dont think I am going to take a pain killer to, I am going to take a half , to I just took another half and really am ready to take another if needed. Get that cane back out as well.

First Weigh in 7-31-11 If your fat and you know it clap your hands...

Well here are the facts.

244lbs that is the heaviest I have been in years.

First goal is for these pants size 38 fit with out pulling on the buttons. (I want to get back to 34's that I was wearing last summer) but baby steps. Sundays will weigh in day.

Electricity Storms and tremors galore

Hands and feet are on fire, electiricity, and tremors are rampant today, hip and knee starting to flare up in pain..

Breath Deep....and exhale.... Breath Deep....and exhale, find some strength...not every day is going to be like this.

When did this happen?

When did I say; well I guess since I am no longer running, yoga, etc. that I no longer need to have the proper nutrition both in calories consumed and type of calories consumed?

I know, everyone keeps saying, it is the Prednisone, you have no control over this. BS. I most certainly do, I just dont know why I gave up on that. How pathetic am I.

This morning I saw a towel hanging over the shower curtain, and there was one long thread hanging about a foot down.... pretty much sums it up!

I am going to start posting my daily eating, just to make my self accountable or at least publicly embarrassed by what I consume. Wish me luck towards the good side!
 

My Life

So, I have fallen twice in the last two days, and I called my neuro today to let them know that I fell. They want to rule out a medicine I am on so they are taking my off Primidone and putting me on Topamax for seizures instead.

The Nurse says to me this does have some side effects... what are they? Well it typically cause burning, tingling possibly burning and memory loss..

See the funny part about that is, i already have that, which she (Karen) and I love Karen she is a great Nurse takes very good care of me. She said yes, but sometimes as the dose gets higher we can work through it... I said if not, what do we do, she said well; we will probably increase our Neurontin, (in my head I am saying WTF, I am already taking 6 of those a day) REALLY?

Lupus You can KISS MY ASS!
