revel in healthinessfulllllness

Have been feeling particularly fatigued recently and am wondering if the truly remarkable weather for the time of year has been sucking my energy. Today is dull, overcast, and drizzly – so a chance to see if my energy levels pick up with less UV around. Pants isn’t it!

Meanwhile I will try and stay upright and thus avoid injuring myself any further.

And porridge for breks to set me up for the day.

Grrrrr!!!! Just been to the docs and I do now have sun sensitivity. I have some more steroid cream (getting quite a collection now) and will have to wear sun block every day.

And we only just bought a convertible car for this summer, how ironic is that!!!

We are on hols for the next 2 weeks and the plan was to have some nice days out in the car, so it looks like I need to invest in some all over sun block clothes, big floppy hats, lots of factor 60+ (UVA and UVB), sunglasses, and only go out after dark.

What fun!!

I have a dental check up, plus a visit to the hospital for an eye examination linked to my Lupus. Have rung the hospital to see if I can talk about my meds while I’m there. Last time I went they were reduced (which seemed good at the time) but I am now having more symptoms and am back on the pain killers. I think I need them increasing again (but maybe not as high as before). My lack of get up and go might be part of this too – I hate feeling so washed out.

^{must feel more energetic if we are having a pup}

Just a check-up – but hopefully will not need any work.

Got my new lenses, and I can see!!! I could read the very bottomest line on the optician’s chart too.

Maybe it is time to come out in the open on this one now. I have been secretly doing c>5k over the last two weeks. Well I have actually done week 1 twice – sort of – as the first week was a bit hit and miss. Now feel like I’m ready to move on to week 2. The problem is I can’t always fit 3 runs into my week – but I am attempting to do so. As soon as HP understands what it is all about it will be cracked – but he keeps insisting on stopping to sniff at stuff, or running too fast. Maybe I need to get him an iPod and the Podcast.

YAY!!! Optician is sorting out my new lenses now and promises a solution to my not being able see properly. Should be ready for next week. Here’s me thinkong I can’t see because my yes have got worse when all the time they have got better and the current prescription is too strong!!!

Ideal..I can spend the week watching Wimbers getting back to full health.

^{Apparently the pain killers they give you for shingles is the same as I’m already on for the Lupus!!!}

and start proper revelling. Just getting over the PE trauma of last year I find I have Lupus, just starting to feel that maybe the meds are controlling the Lupus and I get Shingles.

Really hoping that once I get rid of the Shingles I can start the revelling.

Things do come in threes don’t they? This must be the last in the cycle!!!

I’m fed up with not feeling well. I’ve got shingles now. I guess cos I’m run down with the dreaded Lupus it decided it could get me.

Grrrrrr!!!!!
