Here we go again....

Ok I do not believe in New Year's resolutions but to start when I feel ready. Saying that, I am going to use the South Beach Diet (SBD). Stacy and Bill have used it and praise the results. So I started to read on it to be sure it wouldnt affect my autoimmune disease. From what I found out, it isnt really any different than what I am doing. Of course, the breads, rice, baked goods, and fruit are cut out the first 2 weeks but that's ok. It's only 2 weeks. My sugars I may have a bit of a problem but again, it's 2 weeks. It's not like after 2 weeks I can go hog wild. It slowly re-introduces those carbs (not so much the sugars).

My goal is to re-distribute my weight so I dont feel so 'fat'. I am going to remeasure myself on Sunday and do a picture. Not sure if I want to post it on here yet. I may do a before and after. I will retake both at the end of February. That way if I falter, I can pick up.

End of January, we are going to Texas. John wants to take me there. The hard part is leaving my pup behind. I will have pup withdrawls. :( Yeah I know she is just a dog but she is MY dog. You pet lovers/childless folks know what I am talking about.

Anywho, it's already getting close to mid January! Thank the good Lord!

OK here's the poop on the Dermi today.  I saw Dr. Henderson and she is a resident at HF.  I went to see a dermi because of the previous post of my sores on my scalp.   She looked me over and was very concerned with the one I have on top of my scalp.  It's deep and she thought it could turn into a cancerous problem.  I did tell her that is where my previous dermi did the punch biopsy.  Dr. H brought in another dr for a second opinion and that doctor stated that if that wound wasn't closed up by stitches and I have lupus, the wound might not have closed up and healed properly.  So in essence, it made Dr. H feel better that it was the area of the punch biopsy.   So today, as I had a hunch, I was injected with cortisone.  That is something I never will forget but she was a lot better than my previous dermi.  She was gentle and gave me some breaks.  I had injections done to the side areas and my crater on top.  The cortisone ...

Ah the life of a lupie!  So much fun! A few days ago, I left eye started to hurt and I thought it was just typical crappy weather problem.  That started Wednesday.  Long story short... it puffed out and I had a fever of 101. Not a pretty picture at all.  It was a lot worse than this.  Just hated  how I looked and felt, especially with the holidays coming around and the noise. Anywho, went to the family doctor today and she gave me antibiotics (augmentin) and boy those are HUGE pills!  Plus she recommended a saline flush so why not.  So now I'm home and just wanted to update my blog since I haven't in some time.  I have been writing in my journal of my own personal thoughts but I like to keep my medical stuff on here so I can refer back. Ok, I'm going to lay down and sleep this pain off.
