Re: depressed and starting to flare

[Guest guest]

, You will get through this, honey. We all have to one degree or another, and we know how you

feel. Like I always say, Lupus just nickels and dimes you to death. Each time you think you have it

down, can cope, it hits you in a new spot. Therein lies the challenge of this damned disease... it's

unpredictability. And, no matter how brave, well informed, or determined we are, sometimes it just

gets a temporary victory. The trick is to make a strong comeback each time.

Are you taking prednisone? That would account for the high blood sugars. And, if you are a type II

diabetic, that isn't so horrible as it sounds. I have been managing mine for more than 25 years on

oral drugs alone, and with diet changes. I am still very large, but my sugars are within an acceptable

range unless I am super flaring and in hospital. Then, THEY monitor them and so far I have only had

to have insulin once in my life.

Hang in there, . We are here for you. Loving hugs, MM

Hey, Aurora and , I will be camping at San Simeon State Park from 8/7-8/14, if you guys will

be anywhere near there? Email me at minniemyno@... with phone numbers where I can reach

you both and maybe we can get together for lunch, or something. Loving hugs, MM

It usually take 28 days to start or stop a habit...you are WELL on

your way and you have broken your addiction of being mentally abused.

You are doing great. Keep up the great job. Where are you meeting your

family? You said the coast so I was wondering maybe I could meet you

face to face. You take care and be strong...you have your Lupie Family

behind you.

Blessings,

WOW...my family and I have been wanting to go to the beach again...my

daughter, Lacey, NEEDS another break. Call me at 559 658-6955. We

usually go to Morro Bay but the sand at San Simeon is more white. I'll

talk to my husband tonight (because he has been begging me to go to

the beach again). Call me and let me know what's up. I look forward to

hearing from you. Today MORE TV news people are coming to interview us

for THEIR news now (regarding my daughters', Lacey, sexual battery

case)...so, we'll need to get out of town this weekend to calm down a bit.

Blessings,

You said it , just keep putting one foot in front of the other. If this guy can't remove his stuff for some reason this time, I would suggest that he get it now and put it in storage. You really need this to stop. It sounds like you are getting to the bottom of some of your health issues. I sure hope you don't wind up having another medical problem to deal with. And yes, in answer to your life question, I think we all have times when we feel like we can't go any lower, but as you said, one day at a time, it gradually gets a little better. We will all just continue to pray for you to have some peace in your life. I think it is great that you are going on vacation. When you come back you can start fresh. Keep on trucking for us, you know we are all here for you in spirit at least.

I go in Thursday to see a neuro about my feet. They hurt so bad now that I'm walking like enstein. Friday morning very early I have an MRA of my gut...gotta love all the contrast they shoot in me. Then I go straight to a 3 hour glucose test. I think I'm really going to be ready for my vacation on Saturday. I'm flying up the coast to visit my brother for 3 days. My mom and an aunt will be there too. I'm really hoping I have some energy by then. Thank God for therapy tonight.One foot in front of the other.

Amen to that. You might not be happy when he leaves, but your stress will definitely go down. You won't be anticipating his "moving out" all the time.

Take care of yourself . I know it's easier to put it in writing than to actually do it, but it's not worth it to loose your health.

depressed and starting to flare

Hi everyone,My "breakup" has been going on almost 7 weeks now. He's supposed to move his stuff out on Saturday...the same day I'm starting a vacation. He was supposed to move this past Sunday, but didn't. It's been going on so long now that I've become stressed just from the endlessness of it all.I got home from work yesterday and had a message from my GP to call him. He gets copies of my blood work when I go for the rheumy. Looks like I may be becoming diabetic on top of everything else.Do you ever feel like life is just beating you up and won't stop till you're flat on the ground and barely conscious? I just can't seem to get a break right now. I know things will get better....they can't really get much worse. I just need it to start happening soon before I have a physical and emotional breakdown. I mean really!!!Thanks to you all for your support through all of this.I go in Thursday to see a neuro about my feet. They hurt so bad now that I'm walking like enstein. Friday morning very early I have an MRA of my gut...gotta love all the contrast they shoot in me. Then I go straight to a 3 hour glucose test.
