For the first time in months I am starting to feel human again. My meds are starting to work so my pain is starting to get better. I have been getting migraine more often (three last week alone) but thankfully I have the miracle triptan medication to eliminate them quickly. I have Lyrica again which works wonders for my Fibromyalgia pain. But I have new issue with the Lyrica. For whatever reason it has.. well… it makes me high. No other way to put it. Thankfully I’ve noticed that this particular side affect is starting to lessen with each dose I take, but I’m having fun with it while I can. The kids are enjoying the new funny mommy so I guess it’s cool.
I have been seeing improvements in everything so far except one area. I am still losing my hair. I recently got a hair cut and I am immensely pleased with it. But when a stylist whom you have never been to before mentions that it looks like my hair is thinning out, I’ve got a problem. It’s been several months now that I have been getting handfuls of hair coming out left an right. Even though the rest of my symptoms are starting to get better this hasn’t. It’s a constant, depressing reminder that for the immediate future my lupus is still out of control.
But on to happier notes. Since my pain has lessened I am starting my workouts again, along with daily updates. I wanted to start on the first, but things came up and it didn’t happen but I will be starting tomorrow. My goals this time are basically the same: 10 lbs in 30 days, 20 work out days, and at least one day a week out of the house with the kids. That last one is rather difficult for me because I have made it clear in the past that Lupus and the sun don’t mix but I am going to try anyway. I’ll probably take the kids to parks that have plenty of shade so that I can lessen my exposure. Point is I need to get out more and so do the kids, I figure it’s perfect photo ops too.
So I’ll catch y’all laters
I love you
Glad the meds are here, working, and that you’re feeling better.
