Hi Scotty, I'm very sorry that you're having such a rough time ..again! I don't know how many times people (including family) have said to me "There's always something wrong with you, isn't there!" And it's true of course, when living with lupus, there is something wrong a lot of the time. At times of flares it feels like things will never get better and I just wanted to say that I am thinking of you, hoping things will turn for the better very soon. xxx

Thank you for your comment its only people with lupus who deal with flare ups who understands what it's like sometimes I feel like ending it all if it wasn't for my kids cxxxxx

Know what you mean ..negative thoughts come when we least need them - and seems to go hand in hand with a flare. I tend to feel really good just before a flare, and then feel so surprised (every time!) to suddenly be unwell. Then afterwards, I usually feel really down for a while ..despite being on the mend. Lupus is a continuous mystery! Many of my friends are lupies, as 'normal people' just don't understand that we can be well one hour and having to cancel something the next. Chin up Scotty ..you will get better. xxx

PS - Just thought.. perhaps you'd better check on the amoxicillin, so it's not one of those not suitable for lupies.
