CAN SOMEBODY HELP ME?

[Guest guest]

I know the worst thing somebody can do is join a group and not be

active... However, I promise you I would have given anything to be

here than where I had to be...

For somebody with Lupus (SLE), after everything I have been through

the last 3 months, I think I have held up nicely...I have been going

through the normal aches and pains, and breathing woes. However,

something different happened...

I was trying to take down my Queen size bed because they were bringing

out my new state of the art Hospital Bed the following morning, and

the rails were stuck, as I was walking over to my dresser I suddenly

fell head first. Springing my arm starting at the shoulder all the way

down to my hand & wrist. WOW! What happened!

I have muscle problems due to lupus you know the regular aches and

pains, but why am I suddenly falling without warning? This is the

second time it has happened, the first time I fell down a flight of

stairs, cracking 5 ribs and busting myself up real good... Again,

without warning, I did not trip or stumble... Anybody else had this

problem, and if so what else should I be expecting...

In addition, my Dad passed away Dec.13, 2007. Dr.'s told him that he

had Liver Cancer and had 6 mos. to live, but he died 2 weeks later. We

were in shock he left us so suddenly. Nevertheless, to be going

through all this stressful stuff, I think I have faired well... I have

had slight flare-ups, and a slight rash from the Scleroderma.

However, I have something new that is bothering me, my nose bleeds

very easy. I can sneeze, blood, wipe my nose, blood, also clots... Is

this normal? Oh yeah, I cough up blood sometimes too... Can somebody

tell me what is going on here?

Sorry this is so long and taking up so much of everyone's time.

However, I could not get here when it was all ongoing... Please help

me if you can...

Sincerely, Tracey
