Screaming into my pillow.

I'm screaming loudly into my pillow a lot lately.

Recovered from shingles then a virus only to be suffering with another now. Vomiting and diarrhoea and sore throat. Symptoms started to get a lil better only to smacked in the face with a lupus flared. My husband/carer has been brilliant. Thank goodness for predict text or I couldn't manage this. I am so very angry 😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑 no angry doesn't cut it. I can't begin to describe how I feel as words just don't seem to be fitting. Seeing my rheumy later this week so I'll have a word. I will let you know how I get on 🀞

OMG. You poor thing.

I have lupus,whilst not having your awful luck, I have had a few months where rubbish has turned into double rubbish.

Some days. I just get so sick of being me.

Wish. I had a magic wand to take it all away.

I feel so guilty about the impact this is having on my husband.

Have got consultations today,dreading the spirometry.

Look after yourself,perhaps the flare is in response to the shingles and the diarrohea and sore throat.

I hope it clears up ASAP,but I know it can take a while to feel better.

Let me know how you go on

Oh Bronn..what can I say? πŸ€—πŸ’πŸ€—πŸ’

I'm gonna try n be positive here..but if u wanna swear at me (in your head) I TOTALLY understand!!

I had shingles in July n that was enough to have me crying into my pillow..after that I had a flare..so I punched the pillow a couple of times..well maybe a few times..with a bit of biting!! πŸ€ͺ😬😟😬πŸ€ͺπŸ˜•

Bless ya heart..with the virus n the diarrhoea n vomiting..well that's enough for anyone in my book..with healthy people d n v is totally draining..let alone u with all the other stuff you've had to deal with.

I'm so glad that u got your hubby there with u...he sounds like a good un πŸ€—

The shingles definitely did send me on a bit of a downwards spiral..but eventually I have bounced back..so hang on in there..u got your rheumy appt this week n coz your flaring he's gonna see u in all your autoimmune glory πŸ’©πŸ’©πŸ’©!! My dermy saw me in full flare last year n now I get the best treatment..🀞🀞that your rheumy helps u out too πŸ€—

You're angry understandably so..anger is an energy that when properly channelled can drive us forward..so yeah be angry !! 😠😠😠U have every right to be angry!! 😠😠😠 BUT remember that stress drives lupus..so please bear that in mind n try to calm your immune system..it's already taking a battering!!

Gentle cyber πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—from me.. you're in full warrior mode right now n I for one am cyber holding your hand 🀝 🀝🀝

N hey things come in threes don't they? Never lose hope Bronn..ok?!?! πŸ’πŸŒΉπŸ€
