I promise I won't give up. I'm like one of those little punching bag clowns

that were around when I was a kid. you hit them, they go down, and then they

get up again. When I get really down, it's just basically me regrouping.

The doctor now thinks I have lupus. I've been highly symptomatic for years

and my ANA finally came back positive. The doc asked me what I was

thinking. I told her I don't care what you call it as long as there is some

help. She said that when I see the rheumy on the 11th I should start

getting some help. We're just getting me through in the meantime.

Don't you dare give up, Tigger!! You should talk to your doc about possible

sleep walking, and if there's anything that can be done. It's pretty

serious that you don't remember it happening at all. Maybe you need a sleep

study done? Of course, there's no guarantee you'd go on one of your night

wanderings then. Anyhow, we love you and would miss you too much if you

weren't around. So NO GIVING UP!!!!

My Friday was kind of like that. I had to go to the doctor (who was

thrilled to see my black eye) then I went to Stop & Shop (because the

pharmacy at Walmart closes for lunch), then I went to Walmart for some

prednisone (10 mg for 5 days to see if it helps). I'm sure you remember

what the weather was like on Friday. By the time I got home I just couldn't

warm up. It had gone right through me.

I vowed to stay home for the weekend... besides, I never know what

prednisone is going to do to me. I got some stuff to watch the game with

and then I can just keep my PJs on.
