My first year with lupus In November I celebrated my first year diagnosed with Lupus, celebrate it because we have to see the positive side of things, a whole year of new experiences and challenges , where I learned to live with a tenant who will stay with me forever. I learned that although there are days you do not feel their presence and I feel able to do anything, other than it should be noted and often when I least expect it, sometimes predictable, if I am much time in the sun the chance to feel muscle weakness and sleep is very high, I can not stop using sunscreen or photosensitivity lenses and whether it's cold or rain is likely to suffer a joint, and my hands and fingers get too cold, change colors, so many times as I can prevent wrapping up and not taking things frost other of the things that concerns me is not getting enough sleep because I know that I feel rotten the next day, with fever, which is often inevitable for the job. Some days though I feel protected in a strong anti-nuclear attack like symptoms, and days when you slept for more than 8 hours I find it very difficult to get out of bed, as if my body had not rested or one minutes, days, although the weather is warm one finger of my hand or foot is cold and numb, days at times I can not even get up from my chair to work pain in the ankle, or I can not force pains in my elbows and wrists.
Exercising in the morning, walking, running is very good for strengthening muscles to prevent contractures and to counter the weight problem caused by prednisone intake.
learned to live one day at a time, one is adapting and taking steps for some the symptoms are the most charitable possible. Most importantly, do not forget to check regularly and taking medications, particularly I have a few little notes in the mirrors that you do remember me =).
