I am in so much misery, I took a bath, sat and cried and put my pajamas back on. Then I decided I needed to once again pickup myself up and try to do as much as possible before giving in.  So that is what I did.  I am not convincing myself.  My Lupus is flaring with red breakouts and excruciating joint pain.  My Crohn's was all night and all morning.  It is hard when this is your daily life, everyday same thing.  The sad fact is that there are millions of us all in the same situation.  With the drug companies getting rich off of so called treatments, there is no reason for them to want to try and shoot for a cure anytime soon.  It's not in their best interest.   So once again, I try and make the best of a very bad situation.  Pain is a four letter word for a reason!

It is one of those day.  Tried to walk with dog to the end of the culdesac and barely made it.  Crohn's and Lupus seem to be kicking my ass today.  Back in bed in pajamas.  It's one of those days where I know better and just give in and give up.   I am starting to think I need to desperately live in a warmer climate and am really wanting a hot tub.  Just trips back and forth to the restroom, such is a day in the life of a crohnie.  But it is really exhausting.  It hurts to sleep, I woke up and in between running to the restroom I waited for a pain pill to kick in.  My pain patch should be helping but it's almost like it's not there anymore.  I could run to the doctors but really don't feel like they are much help and my GP is off for two weeks.  My guess is hunting season.  They take it pretty serious in this small town.
