Ok, found the last Maxalt samples (why won't my insurance give me Maxalt?) and the new nausea med; got the migraine to be a bit better by taking the meds and also restricting myself to lying down in a quiet and dimly lit room.
But no rest for the wicked, I mean the sick that is...I'm kind of dizzy so had dburr help me take my blood sugar. 290! Oops.
Now I have to try and walk around the house WITH a migraine and drink a boatload of water. And not much of the pasta dinner for my sick tummy. Got to bring that sugar down. Maybe pickles will help. Not that I feel like having any.
Have some kind of infection, too. Productive cough, although not a really bad one.
This is really too many illnesses at once and I'm getting kind of pissed off.
Got my latest blood work in the mail. Sed rate is good (I do not understand WHY because I have not been doing so well with the arthritis)...but ANA is back up. Not to its highest but 1:1280 is significant. Blah.
Would someone please give lupus the finger for me? I had to stab both of my middle fingers today in the great effort to get blood for testing blood sugar level. I've got Raynaud's. Hands and feet usually cold and lifeless. Doesn't go well with diabetes test kit requirements.
Poor dburr ; he has to be Nurse Dburr again. I can't be fun to live with.

Reminder to Self
Put today in the Headache Diary for my neuro.
At least he cares when I get these nauseating, blinding migraines.
I had so much I was looking forward to doing today and it is just. not. fair.
Sigh!

Out cold
Lupus has caught up with me again. I think I fell asleep around 4 pm, woke up around 9 pm for a very short time, and woke up again now at midnight...and I'm not going to be awake long.
Of course my rosy cheeks look so healthy!
It's my hair that looks bad. I need to have it done but medical crap has put me $$$ in debt again.

I'm in a good mood today, but...
the lupus isn't. Don't know why it felt like it had to kick my behind, but it's not telling me. Joint pains, pain with breathing, muscle weakness, exhaustion. Of course, could be worse!

About Me
- Beep
- I've travelled the distance from an Ivy League college to decades of enforced poverty--because I've needed to qualify for government health care in the U.S., since being diagnosed with lupus at the age of 23. I have a personal blog at http://beepbeep.livejournal.com that I've had so long I'm probably stuck with :) My other blogs are here on blogger...
