Nephews wedding hopefully fatigue is not a guest

had a really bad day yesterday so stiff and tired but feel a bit better today. Hopefully this will last as I am going to my nephews wedding today and dont want to end up asleep in a corner! I am already a bit miffed because I can no longer wear high heels and have put on quite a bit of weight in the last 6 months so I am not happy with my outfit even though I am told it looks good so if I lose my energy as well it will just about round the day off.

I am not sure why but ever since the fatigue has taken over and I feel washed out all the time I just feel scruffy all the time regardless of what I am wearing.

I had better go and start to get ready slowly and hope that when I have finished I feel a bit better about myself lol.

Bless you Jonesy,

Try to enjoy the day, I know it's not nice what the medication does to you, but please try not to worry about it (easier said than done, I know)

I'll be thinking of you stay strong xx

We all have those times when we think we look absolutely dreadful! I want to go out in a bin bag sometimes so nobody has to see me lol. I'm sure you look lovely.

Hope you've enjoyed yourself through the tiredness!

The wedding was beautiful. Managed to stay until about 10.00pm but think I am going to suffer for it today so only going to do what is absolutely necessary. How I felt about my outfit did not really improve and being only 5' 2" inches in a family of giants meant I was often in the front of photographs but I am sure the bride who looked like a princess will be all anyone will notice lol. Thanks for your support

Glad you enjoyed the wedding, the main thing is that you managed to go & stay til 10 pm, I'm sure all your family & friends we're happy that you we're there & thought that you we're beautiful too.

Lupus is a dreadful illness, it not only affects the body but plays with your mind too, it takes every bit of confidence you have & chucks it away.

Hang in there darling, thinking of you xx

You are so right it takes our energy and our confidence, I now try to blend into the background which is it not me normally. I love to dance but I wouldn't last night because I did not want to find out that I am now to stiff to enjoy dancing.

Thank you for your kind words and support, they are greatly appreciated. x
