Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Lupus / October 2008not lupus
I haven't been able to shake this cough; and was worried when I started running a fever. Guess what though? It's not Lupus raising its ugly head; it's pneumonia! (sigh) Grace. > I haven't been able to shake this cough; and was worried when I started > running a fever. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Grace. Are you taking antibiotics now? I hope you feel better very soon. Hugs, Wes Thanks, Wes. I was given some heavy-duty antibiotics, yeah. I'm off for another blood test, my platelets were a mysterious 49...

Take good care with lots of rest, Higs from Shelagh Grace, it IS lupus raising its ugly head; pro'ly lupus pneumonitis. Have had it several times. Not pretty; I'm praying for you. Candi Hi Candi: Hmm. I suppose! But I'm holding to the hope of being done with Lupus as long as I can. Certainly the chemo/stem cell transplant leaves me vulnerable to infection... it started with a bad cold. Thanks for your prayers, Grace. Hey Grace I have lupus disease. I am 14 now and was diagnosed at the age of 12. Jesus its awful! I had chemo lost a good amount of my hair. It is very thin but when i dry it it all poofs out and its really curly. I was never curly before. I was also on a 60mg of steriods of 3 months straight before my chemo ( with an extra 1000mg of intravinas steriods ). The worst thing now is the scaring on my legs. Its is all down then even on my ankles. It really gets to me when the other girls can all wear mini skirts and i have to wear pants all the time. When im on holiday though i wear what ever i like and try not to let the staring get to me. And i cant even go in the sun. I was never a sun bather anyway. Haha. I am back into hospital tomorrow for the lupus has spread to my brain. Wow this is long haha. It is in my lungs,heart,skin, kidneys.brain,blood,eyes,mouth,everywhere really. And i get students coming to have a look at me constantly because they think i am a walking miracle haa. Which isn't to bad. But anyway good look with everything.

LOL I do hope you are feeling better tonight. (((HUGS))) Bev > I haven't been able to shake this cough; and was worried when I started > running a fever. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Grace. Thanks Bev; I was feverish and chilled again; then I coughed so much I threw up...sigh. This is not helping with the gaining weight, exercising I need to do. However.....my hair has started to grow.... Be well, Grace. I haven't posted in awhile -- my computer has been down. But Grace I read your post and was very sorry to hear about the pneumonia! I was just whining because I have a cold - shame on me! I will say a prayer for you today and ask the "Big Guy" to heal you quickly amd get you back on your feet soon. Stephanie > Thanks Bev; > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Grace. Thanks, Stephanie. Hi Grace, I am sorry to hear that you have been sick. I am sure it is a set back. It is good news about your hair, though. Hair growth is a sign of improving health. That is how I looked at it anyway. It gave me great encouragement to see it growing. BJ-Sk. Canada > Thanks Bev; > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Grace. Thanks, BJ: I think our biggest challenge is often fear -- any hive or fever can terrorize me with thoughts of a lupus reoccurrence or cancer.... But one day at a time, right? And make the most of it.... Grace (I like to rub my head with its new hair growth.... :) ) What color is it coming in? My neighbor lost hers during chemo and when it grew back it was very blonde and had curls. She was ecstatic. She'd never been blonde in her life and never had curls. LOL Bev > Thanks, BJ: > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Grace (I like to rub my head with its new hair growth.... :) ) I lost a lot of hair with Lupus chemo previously and that came in as before, brown, with some grey and a bit of curl -- as before. But it was very fine initially -- like a baby's. I expect the same -- so far it's on;y about 2 millimetres...but darkish. > What color is it coming in?

For a long time, if I put my hair in a ponytail, I had this fuzzy bush sticking out of the back of my head.
