I didn’t fall a sleep until 1:00 a.m. I went to bed at 10:00 p.m. and even took some pain medication. I woke up at 4:00 a.m. with bad dizzy spells and so sick at my stomach that I was having dry heaves, I didn’t have anything in my stomach to throw up only white stuff. I’m still feeling dizzy and nauseated, and my head still feels strange like it has for several days now. I fell asleep again at 5:00 a.m. then woke up at 7:00 a.m. I was itching so bad all over my body, my head, back, legs, face and arms. If I continue to feel this way I will see if I can get an appointment to see my doctor because some things not right.
8:00 AM I’m starting to have dizzy spells when I walk and stand up.
9:56 AM I’m having to go back to bed still having bad dizzy spells, I haven’t had them during the day like this I’m getting nauseated from it. I hope I can lay down with out getting worse.
11:30 a.m.- I got so weak and dizzy that I have been in bed resting since 9:56 a.m.My left arm was going numb and my shoulder was hurting down to my fingers. I feel worse today than I have in the last two days. I’m still nauseated from being so dizzy and I have to use the walker to get up and walk because I’m to dizzy and weak. If I sit up to long I start getting weak and tired my sides and back are still hurting and seems worse than yesterday also. I fell a sleep some where around 1:30 p.m. and woke at 3:00 p.m. I’m still feeling weak but the dizziness isn’t as bad yet as it was earlier. My head is still hurting some mostly the back of my head and when I lay down I can feel it more. I won’t be able to cook tonight because of being to weak I was invited to Nikki Johnson’s personal shower but won’t be able to go. I’m noticing that my ankles are really tender to the touch.

7:42 AM I slept pretty good last night I woke up only one time last night, I still get dizzy when I lay down but its not lasting as long.
I woke this morning at 7:30 a.m. Feeling a little dizzy and lightheaded and somewhat nauseated. I’m hoping that this will passing and will go away completely.
My head hurts and so do my back and sides. I didn’t take any pain medicine last night because of not knowing if it would cause more dizziness. I was having bad pains in my left under arm radiating to my chest all day yesterday and this morning. My fingers are stiff and hurting also, my feet are tender and stiff.12:22 p.m. I am so behind on my housework. I have tons of clothes to wash and fold still. I need to clean and organize things but I’m still feeling a little light headed. I got some of the clothes done but I’m hurting and am worn out. I have an appointment
Friday May 25th to go get checked instead of June 6th to see why I’m having so much trouble.
5:40 PM I’m really hurting right now and starting to feel dizzy again. I think I over did it today trying to get things caught up. I’m hoping that I can sleep well tonight without having dizzy spells. I’m feeling nauseated and my head is starting to hurt. The back of my left leg hurts when I walk.
My neck, back, sides and shoulders are hurting a lot right now and it hurts to walk. My knees hurt tonight when I walk and I’m still hurting all over.
9:45 p.m. I had to take pain medication to night because of the pain.
Thursday, May 24, 2007 7:34 AMI had to take pain medicine before going to bed last night I was in a lot of pain and I was having trouble walking.
I had some dizziness when I lay on my back. My neck and head kept having this popping in them then I had a little bit of jerking in my head and legs then it passed, it didn’t last as long as it had been. I woke at 4:45 a.m. to go to the bathroom and my left leg hurt bad when I walked and it was hard to walk. Even this morning I’m having trouble walking right. I hurt when I do, and I’m having a lot of trouble breathing this is worse today than it has been. I still feel really weak and fatigued even though I had 9 hours of sleep. I had to take my inhalant this morning because I’m having trouble breathing.
9:14 a.m. I’m getting nauseated and light headed again, and I’m just sitting not doing anything but reading e-mails. I feel really tired and am feeling weak.9:32 a.m. I’m having to go back to bed I’m weak and feel dizzy, and am still having breathing problems.
10:45 a.m. I’m starting to have stomach pains again and still feeling nauseated and weak. I took my blood pressure and its 95/67/72 I feel hot but I took my temperature and its 97.7 my hands are real cold but the rest of my body feels hot. My back is still hurting and I’m still feeling dizzy and having to use the walker again today. I’m still having shortness of breath it seems to get worse if I lay down. My left shoulder is hurting also and my left hand is starting to feel numb again. My skin looks so white right now I think I’m looking pale. My mind is not as sharp as is should be guess it’s from being so weak.
6:18 p.m. I had problems with feeling dizzy, feeling weak and hurting everywhere. I had to stay lying down all day if I got up I would get dizzy and weak. It was hard to walk today. Blood pressure still a little low 92/52/7
Friday May 25, 2007 9:29 AM I woke feeling nauseated and light headed and weak. I have a doctors appointment today @ 10:40 amBy the time I got to my doctors appointment I was extremely weak and light headed. Dr. Jackson ordered more blood work to see what’s going on, she told me that the rest of the results were in from 3 weeks ago and it showed that I not only did I have Lupus that I also have Rheumatoid Arthritis. I guess that’s why I have been so weak, Since Last Sunday I have had a bad time with the following symptoms: Fatigued, dizzy spells, trouble walking, Lots of Pain all over my body, shortness of breath, nausea, numbness in hands and feet, and all over body weakness. Saturday May 26, 2007I took the pain medication and nausea medication that the doctor prescribed for me and I slept Ok. I woke this morning still feeling light headed and nauseated. Erin came and took me to pick up the food that we ordered and then we came back so that she could clean the house. I was having trouble breathing and had to do my inhalant. Erin called Steven and Rebekah to see if she could pick up Ryan for the weekend so we went to Brady Texas to meet them. I was in so much pain while we were driving but wanted to see Brandon and Ryan. My hands were getting numb and were hurting along with the rest of my body. By the time we got to Brady I was tired my head was hurting and I was getting really weak.
We headed back home with Ryan around 2:00 p.m. and got back to Erin’s around 4:30 p.m. By then I was feeling really light headed and hurting that I had to lie down for a while. I rested for about 45 minutes and then got up because I started feeling my body getting stiff so I knew if I didn’t get up and move around that I wouldn’t be able to later. We stayed for supper with Erin and Jeremy and to spend time with Ryan which I so much enjoyed since they live so far away I don’t see him that much. By the time we left for home I was in a lot of pain and was getting nauseated again and light headed. I took pain medication and went to bed around 11:00 p.m. Sunday, May 27, 2007 9:56 AMI woke up lightheaded and feeling tired still this morning. I had to cook for fellowship and cook breakfast. My back and sides are hurting and I feel congested
(I think its allergies) and I’m short of breath. My chest, shoulders and neck are hurting but I don’t want to take pain medication because of church.
Went to the second service this morning and I started hurting a lot during the service and was feeling really tired. We stayed for fellowship but I was hurting I enjoyed the fellowship and needed it.
After lunch we went to Erin and Jeremy’s to see Ryan for a while we always enjoy being around him he is such a sweetie.
I wish we could spend more time with him but he will be going back home tomorrow, Erin will meet Steven and Rebekah in Brady again.
I’m not going this time with Erin its to much for me to go and its out of the way for Erin to come out here and then back to town and then from her house to take Ryan back.
My thighs are really tender to the touch and they hurt when I sit to long. I’m still hurting all over and am really tired right now its only 8:19 p.m. but I’m going to go on to bed early.
I keep finding sore places on my head, some feel like sores and they hurt when I touch them. I’m still loosing hair I’m going to buy some material so that Angela Turack can make me some scarves and turbans to wear.
I bought a bandana and a scarf yesterday they don’t cover all of my hair but it helps some. I’m also planning on looking for a couple of hats for the summer to wear, so that the sun doesn’t burn my head.
Monday, May 28, 2007 11:35 AMI woke up at 8:30 a.m. I am still light headed and my head hurts. I slept well last night; I took pain medicine before going to bed. So far my body’s not hurting to bad. My neck hurts but it’s been hurting for a while.
12:45I have a lot of laundry to wash and dry today. It seems like I’ll never get caught up. I have dishes also to wash. My back is starting to hurt more and I’m getting tired. My head still hurts and I’m still having trouble with light-headedness. I know that having Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis I have a long road ahead of me and will have to rest more and not let my self get overly tired. I’m learning but it’s still hard to get use to my new way of life I still haven’t heard from the Rheumatologist for an appointment so I’m trying to do what I can to help my body get through this.
Doctor Jackson ordered more blood work on Friday so I will find out the results June 8th. Lord willing by then the Rheumatologist would have called for an appointment. I really don’t want to take steroids but if I have to take low doses for a while I will and also work on keeping my weight off by exercising and diet.
