I'm right here, right now at my doctor's appointment. They need to do a TB test on my just to make sure that the symptoms I have are not from tb. Since most of my complications are not of the normal lupus kind.
Example? I have ascetis. Means I got fluid in the sac that surrounds my stomach, liver, intestines, etc. While the most common kind for people with lupus is having fluid in the sac that surrounds the heart. So what if my complications are different?!? It is way safer and less painful than the one that lupus patients normally have.
Also, they are figuring out if I only have systemic lupus. Remember a week ago I had skin biopsy. They are thinking of psoriasis or discoid lupus. So hopefully that ends well for me. Will be coming back Monday, October 17, so they could remove the thread from my back. It's healing so it's itchy and annoying...
It's 7:51. My appointment is at 8. Think I will be sleeping for a few minutes on the office today. I woke up at 4:30. I think I'm getting a sleep disorder because of the medication that I'm taking. Oh well, whatever that makes me better.

I will write till the world knows more about me, and about Lupus. Forgive me, I am a bit of a scatterbrain, so this will be random, unorganized, unedited and plain casual. :) I do hope you will read about me soon...

Research...
I haven't even done or read anything yet. I just have them printed out and ready to be highlighted. I am lagging it. I guess I too lazy. Hahaha
I have a doctor's appointment tom. They need to put a TB test, so they could determine that my skin rashes and stuff are not because I have tuberculosis, that it is Lupus. Maybe they are just making sure that I am not sick or anything. :)
I have to wake up early tomorrow. :) So I could go to the doctor and be there at 8:30. Will be eating Popeye's tomorrow!! Wohoo!! They have one by the hospital that's why. Hehehe.
