My little artworks
One day I decided to get my creativity back... and so far, this is all that i could do...
I lost count... No steroids and the effects...
I am not sure how long I have not been using Prednisone, but i am quite sure there has been a lot of changes already...
Recently, I have been having hives on my face.. Like it's a row of swollen patch of skin which I do not know the reason. I am allergic to a bunch of stuff, but I have been avoiding them for a long time, it's mostly food so I do not know what happened here.
I also have been having a bunch of pimple on my face. Like little nasty red ones, that has pus on the tip. There are little, so it's not really that nasty, but it's still pimples!!!! Not A pimple, but pimples!!
When I wasn't yet fully diagnosed with Lupus, I usually have this pain on my right foot. Maybe because I walk lazy or my steps are weird, but it's only the right one, on a specific spot. I think I have a tear or two by my middle foot arch, but it's posed no problem until a few months before I had my Lupus. But now it's back. I am not sure if it is because of my lupus, I will tell my doctor on my next appointment.
I have been feeling weird lately, I feel really depressed most of the time. Like depressed. It's a feeling of hopelessness that I have never felt before. I mean I do have my ups and down, but it's not like this. Maybe I am impatient, maybe. I don't know, I think I really need to be checked. Physically and mentally.
Oh well... My life has been a constant struggle. Just wish me luck.

Steroids free for 3 days...
My doctor advised me to stop taking steroids (Prednisone) after taking half of a 5mg pill for a week.
So, the first time that I took half a pill, my body was feeling a little bit achy... maybe because it is also around the time that I should be getting my period, but since I am in Depo, I wasn't having it, and my body, was just in turmoil. So I need to go back to a week of drinking a whole pill like I used to.
I did went back to a whole 5mg pill for a work, and the week after I went to the half pill that was advised by my new doctor (My former doctor is already done with her internship, I assumed), and I did the half pill for a week.
Today marks the 3rd day of my "no steroids" day. I think I will stop counting when I lost track of it. There aren't many or major changes that happened. I notice that my fingers at the moment, 09/19/12 1:30pm, that my fingers on my right hand, only the pointer and middle finger, is a bit swollen on the first joints. My right foot, just a few inches from the ball of my feet, is hurting since last week, and I don't think it is part of the "no steroids" side effects. But if it become unbearable, I will drink ibuprofen. But hopefully, it's just caused I wore slippers too much the past month.
I am happy, that right now, I am on my way to better health and hopefully, will be able to have my baby soon... :) I am old you know, and my biological clock is ticking, and my baby envy at full mode!
But as for now... Yey!! One less pill a day!!!

Depo Provera.. OUCH!
Maybe I haven't done enough research regarding this contraceptive.
Maybe I should have followed what the doctor advised me to get.
There are just some questions, I guessed, that I forgot to ask when I was at the doctor's office.
I have been on Depo Provera for about a month. And I do not actually have much of the side effect. Except for one, and I am not even sure if it is because of the medicines I am taking or it's just me.
It hurts, when I am having intercourse.
It feels full inside. Like there are so much stuff in there that it is painful.
I have read a lot of stories about painful sex because of Depo Provera, but I think some of them are just exaggerating.
***a week after
So I had my spotting, and actually had a day of having a period, well like the last day of your period, where it is too little to wear a pad and a bit too much to wear only pantyliner. And after that, I am feeling less pain in the belly. and it feels less painful having intercourse.
Maybe coz my body is just new to this hormone shot I have. Looks like I am actually ok with this depo provera thing. Hopefully I don't have to take it long. And won't take long to have a baby after my treatment. :)
Wish me luck. And I hope the other lupies are feeling as hopeful as I am today.
