Hi Everyone!

Hi lb...Doing swell over here. All the leftovers are gone in this house, though I don't know about mb...For those of you who are familiar with what is going on, we're scheduled to move out of our home in nc and start living (large!) in myrtle beach next weekend.

After, of course, I finish painting the master bedroom, two closets and touch-up where I can.

After, of course, replacing 30 year old stove and dishwasher

after, of course, cleaning the place to get it ready for sale.

Phew. You wouldn't know I had lupus if you'd seen me work this place to its roots!

Hi all i've been taking care of two of my grandchildren and their mother, they each came down with the flu, unfortunately, my son in law doesnt understand that the house doesnt come first when you have a six month old baby sick, and their two old sister as well then mom gets it anyway push came to shove literally so they spent four days with us while I tended to the sickies....Daddy finally came around and apologized , now I am praying literally that I get passed by on this bug! Right now I feel like some one hit me with a truck and left it there. My husband told me my face wasnt looking to good, even the new cream I got isnt keeping the rash at bay this friday I have a choir christmas dinner and I volunteered to cook and I still havent set my appointment with the cardio for my stress test,,they keep calling me thank you so much all of you for your support and imformation lily

Hugs to you, lily!!!!!!!!!!

Hi all,
i haven't posted for a while, but for a good reason. I've been feeling so well (just an occasional killer headache), that i've been able to get all the things done i've needed to. I guess i've been on the dhea long enough now that I can attribute my increased stamina and energy to taking that. I only take 25 mg a day, and I haven't noticed any bad side effects. Yeah!!
I meant to post at thanksgiving just to let you all know that I am thankful for you and this forum. I don't post very often, but I do read it several times a week. I'm also thankful for my good days; the bad ones really make me value the good ones. I think we can all think of someone else who is in worse shape than we are (although that's really hard to remember when we're in pain), so i'm thankful for all of the things i've been spared.

I just wanted to wish all of you a great day and the joy and blessings of this holiday season!

I wish everyone a very wonderful holiday and a happy new year. I may not speak alot but I have grown to respect and care for all of you so, slow down, enjoy the holidays, the cold and stuffy little noses and take care of the headaches and sit back and have a cup of hot apple cider and just enjoy the music the lights and the snow, get dressed and walk and see all the beautiful decorations for some reason they are just beautiful this year . Again merry christmas

Hi everyone,

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile.. I did come down with the flu, but thank god it was a mild, compared to the others in the family I spent 12 hours at the hospital with one of my older daughters, they finely admitted her, she has double pnumonia, as well as something questionable going on in her lungs, they need to do a biopsy anyway thats how I spent all day saterday the choir dinner went very well, I made it :d !!I got the results back from my last Dr. Visit everything was within normal limits,, There was no indication that there was an ana test done just some mention of, an arthritus test being normal I have an apointment to see the same Dr. Tomorrow I stopped using the steroid cream for my face, just so the Dr. Will see what I look like when I don't use it.. I itch and my face is sore I am going to ask to see a rumatologist and I will make the appt for the cardio , theyve written me aletter asking why I haven't set up my stress test ( because i'm afraid ) anyway thats whats going on at my house. lily

Hi everyone...
All is well here. I finally got moved it was a long and drawn out process!!! But we are in, and most of the boxes are empty. The tree is up, and plans are made for christmas. So i'm feeling pretty good about myself right now :d
I came down with that nasty little flu bug about 2 weeks ago, after spending 14 hours in the e.R. With my oldest! They re-hydrated her and sent her home. It was just a slight case that I had, and I thank god I took my flu shot it pays to listen when people give advice.
I start full time school on jan. 6. Wish me luck. Im really quite excited. I'll just have to pace myself. Full time work and school is going to be tough, but I think I can do it if I make sure I get the rest I need.
So as you can see i've been really busy, and just got our computer up and going today. Had to run phone lines but i'm back, and feeling good :d
merry christmas to everyone, and happy new year.

Hugs,
kris
