From test down a month ago at the ER he says it looks like I might have a kidney stone. He wants to do some more tests. I have to do a 24 hour urnie test. He has taken me off the naproxen and put me back on Predisone. I really hate taken it, but I have to do what I have to, to not feel so much pain in my arms and hands. He is also concerned about the blotching on my skin. I really like my doctor alot. He is so helpful and answers all my questions. I asked him if he had a brochure on Lupus and he said yes, he also gave me a book called Living With Lupus. I thought that was really nice of him to do that. So right know I am taking

Predisone and Plaqunil. I am really scared about the kidney stuff. I have a really good boyfriend who supports me so much. My dad,sisters and grandmother are really worried about me. I tell that so far I am ok. I have not told them what the doctor said, but I am going to tell them tonight. I have alot of friends that are praying for me and are so supportive. Sometimes I don't know what I do without all my friends. They all understand why I have not being so much lately with them and that helps. I don't want them to think that I just hiding out. I am also glad I have friends on the internet that I can talk to. I know I have not been on line much, but I do read all the ones that everyone else sends. They are so up lifting to read. I will talk at everyone soon as I found out the results from the urnine test. Debbie Ashbran> > From: LUPIES > Date: 2004/06/30
