Slowly but Surely?

This bleeding thing I hope is beginning to resolve. I think it may have slowed down tonight, but I'm not entirely sure. I will take another double dose of Aygestin tonight. Unfortunately, I have been dealing with a headache since last night and I have been running a fever over 100 today.

In better news, I have made really nice dinners for myself the past couple days. I made chicken fajitas last night and lemon caper chicken tonight. DEE-licious. Tomorrow I will make oatmeal chicken, which is really just a way of making mock fried chicken. I'm really loving this cooking thing.

I really hope I stop bleeding soon. I'm not sure why it is happening, but I really don't want to go through another ultrasound, more tests, etc. I'm sick and tired of doctors. I want to be LEFT ALONE. Every two weeks I am poked, prodded and stuck with needles. I am so tired of it. I hate having to take time out of my life to schedule in a doctors appointment or a lab visit. My rheumatologist mentioned having me see a kidney specialist due to the radiology report I got when I was having my gall bladder removed. Ugh. NO MORE DOCTORS.

I'm heading to bed soon. This headache won't quit and I am supposed to go to the gym in the morning.

So Happy Its Almost the Weekend

The first full week of school is almost done...and I already missed a class. It wasn't my fault, though, I promise! I had my rheumatologist appointment today and they are the slowest office I have ever come upon. My appointment was at 9:15, about 20 minutes away from campus. My class was at 11:15 and I thought I would have enough time to go get my tests and stuff done. Apparently not.

The appointment went fine. The doctor said my strength in my arms and especially my legs is not where it should be so she showed me some exercises to do. She also scolded me for not getting my biweekly blood tests done since early November. Oh well, I hate being stuck all the time and I am really tired of doctors. So I had a bunch of blood tests done. She said if she cannot find any reason for my daily fevers then she will start a full scale infection work up. I don't think I have one, I really just think it is the lupus.

Tomorrow begins the weekend! I think I am going to relax with friends a lot. Just the way I like it.
