I find this journey I am on fascinating and frustrating. That's right my life has turned into an oxymoron.
I still struggle with exhaustion, which drives me around the bend. The irony is that caffeine just makes it worse, so I'm working on a balanced diet (I miss Diet Dr. Pepper). I feel like Lupus is turning me into a old woman. I AM NOT OLD!
And, I still am dealing with headaches, though they are now a dull roar instead of stabbing pain.
The body is still achy and unhappy.
Have I whined enough?
The good news is I am forced to manage my time and interests with an iron fist. Saying 'no' tactfully has become an art form in my personal and work life.
Would I be this organized if I didn't have Lupus? Maybe a little less driven, but determined to make my goals.
All I know is that my reality has shifted and I'm learning how to deal with it.
