So yeah, it has been a while. I have no followers, so I guess it doesn't really matter if I don't post regularly. But I was hoping to establish a habit of posting. But this time around I've got a legitimate excuse instead of the "umm I just forgot."
I have lupus. With this lovely diagnosis comes a whole host of fun side effects and symptoms. When lupus is acting up, it flares. This is an increase in disease activity. A lupus flare affects everyone differently. Lupus is an autoimmune disease, so it can affect anything at all in the body. I've had lupus for 27 years. You would think I've got it all figured out by now...
Once you have one autoimmune disease you are magically a magnet to collect more. I also have fibromyalgia, Raynaud's, and Sjogren's. So all this back story is to say that I have not felt well in the past few weeks. It started slowly that I didn't really notice until the last 7 days that I officially feel bad. No energy, no appetite, headaches, fevers, trouble concentrating, memory issues, I lose my train of thought all the time, I can't remember words, I got lost driving to get bloodwork done, etc. Still trying to get to the bottom of this. Not sure which of my lovely labels is causing this hoopla. I got all the fun blood work done, so I'm hoping for some answers soon. So for now my official story is I'm lost in lupus fog. And yes, this is a real thing. Google it if you don't believe me.
I have been able to get a few cards done, but no pictures of them yet. Will try to do that soon.
