Mouth ulcers now...

Have developed ulcers over the last day. Not the first time, but the first time I realized they could be tied into anything else, had been told years ago that they weren't cold sores, and not to worry about them since they always went away on their own.

Just had a few develop, and with recent doctor questions, I had a look at them in the mirror - and they look almost identical to a fair few posted online by other people.

Have taken some (not great - and will save you having to look at them, certianally made hubby look twice, going, what the...?) pics to show the rheumatologist whenever it is that I get in.

They're uncomfortable, but not overly painful.

Everything else (especially EM today, feet have been hell most of the night and all today, so bloody tired) seems to be flaring up just now too.

I am so over this crap. I haven't had a rash per se, but even before the ulcers popping up, docs thinking lupus. I don't want it (and yes, I know, nobody foes - venting), I've too much to do, hubby, kids, need me, and it was hard enough before this all started. I don't have the time, let alone, lately, the energy for this, let alone like anything else right now.

I'm just so tired. I'm 30, and feel like an old woman, walking like a friggan lame penguin.

And I have to go pick up the kids from the bus. Plaster on the smile as best as I can, pull it back as much as I can.

But it's getting harder and harder.

No words of wisdom, just a hand to hold whilst you feel so rotten. 🤝
