Sick Day

Unfortunately, soon after writing yesterday's post, I started to feel a little tickle in my throat. By this morning, that tickle evolved into a full fledged sore throat. Of course these things happen when I am 100 miles away from my doctor, but it is not bad enough that I feel like I need medical attention. Since none of my stuff is even remotely unpacked (which I may explain in another post) I can't find a thermometer to see if I am running a fever. If I was, then I would be a little more concerned.

I wanted to go to one of my really good friend's fashion show today, but now I am unsure if I will make it. Even though the Cellcept has made me feel really good, I still understand my limits with lupus. And because Cellcept is an immunosupressant, I really have to be careful.

My plan for now is to stay in bed and watch movies and drink tea and soup. It is a rainy, chilly day here so it is especially conducive to not doing much.

Also, I made Dean's List!

Has It Really Been That Long?

Sorry I have not posted in over a week. I got home a week ago today and have been pretty much just enjoying my time here. I started back at my internship yesterday and I am still waiting to hear back from a real, paying job. I had an interview on Friday with Sears, so maybe that will turn into something.

I am still liking the CellCept, but unfortunately I got my blood test results back a couple days ago and one of my liver enzymes was increased and my C3 complement was high, which I gather means acute inflammation of some sort. Hopefully when I go to The Lupus Center next Tuesday they don't tell me that I have to stop it.

However, while it is still working very well, I have been a little more achy over the past few days, even when taking pain medications constantly. But it is nothing I cannot manage and my evergy levels have been really good.

I am still waiting to get my grades back. I think I got 5 A- and a C+ in Spanish. That class was horrible for me. I took French in high school and unfortunately, that's what I spoke in Spanish class. It was not so bad last semester, so I don't know why I couldn't get the hang of it this semester. In any case, I hope that the C+ wont keep me off the Dean's List for this semester because I have all As for my other five classes.

As I have said before, I am a little crazy about my grades.

Hope everyone has a good week!
