I'm So Tired of Being Tired Mood
Friday, July 25, 2008 | A Rambling story

This fatigue is really starting to tick me off. LOL. I fell asleep 3 times on the bus today, missed my stops, and ended up taking 3 hours to get home instead of the 15 minutes. UGH.

 

I get my bloodwork done tomorrow. Not looking forward to it, but it's gotta be done. The usual SLE bloodwork, and the stuff for the GI specialist, to see if my Iron levels are improving. But I know they aren't; or I wouldn't be this tired.

 

Tomorrow is Friday. YAY. Hopefully a better day.

One Day at a Time Mood
Thursday, July 24, 2008 | A General Update story

Well, I got through another day. *pats myself on the back*. It's been a loong week for me, and I am praying like crazy that things get easier.

 

I found out last week, that after 4 years on Imuran, that I am flaring through it in a not-so-nice way. We're not sure why I'm not responding to it, since we restarted it in April. It could be due to the episode of TEN, but we're not entirely sure. My body is definately ticked at me.

 

My Liver is slowly returning to normal after the episode of TEN, which is AWESOME. 2 of my enzymes are now normal, and the 3rd is only 10 points away from being normal again. However, my iron levels are at 10% (they should be at 40%)...after all I've been through the last 5 months, they now think I may have Celiac Disease. So more blood monitoring for 2 months, and if my iron doesn't shape up, I gotta go in for a scope. So not cool.

 

I know enough about Celiac though, that I'm not overly worried about it. (We thought my son had it last year). So I do have some knowledge under my belt.

 

I just can't get a grip on this fatigue. I can't even stay awake for 10 minutes on the bus in the morning to take my son to daycare! LOL. Hopefully this will work itself out, cuz I'm absolutely exhausted.

 

On a good note, My little one started OT this week, which was awesome to watch. It' so exciting to finally see him get the help he needs, and it's only going to get better for him. YAY JADEN! I am so proud of him. He's been through alot too this year. Hopefully the next 5 months will be better - and then the New Year twice as good.
