Response:

Hi it’s me Pigmet and I’m here! I have been busy however. I was playin Pirates for a while, but then I realized that I was not a pirate in my heart.  I like givin things to people.  Plus I don’t like hurricanes that are so strong that I blow away completely!  So I will just be me, Pigmet, which is pretty great to be anyways. Mair is doin okay.  She dropped back down to 10mg of pred after a burst to 30 mg.  She’s havin just some mild shoulder pain today, along with some mental confusion.  But I am helpin to remind her of things, and together we are doin okay. Now everybody think of Anti Beverley, cause she has a County Fair that she has to make, and this is a lot of work.  I’m not big enough to really help, but I am big enough to send well-wishes. Well-wishes to all of you, Pigmet "Beverley" <beverly.brow…@verizon.net> wrote in message

Busy, mostly.  And my personal life has gone to hell lately.  Still trying to clean up the last of that mess.  I believe things will be better in the end, but I’m really tired of the bullshit I’ve been having to deal with.  The stress has been a drain, on top of moving. — Lee M.Thompson-Herbert        l…@retro.com            KoX 1995, SP4 Head Muso, White Rats Morris, Faultline Morris See my CafePress Shops: http://www.retro.com/employees/lee/CafePress.html "A head-on collision between Morticia Adams and Martha Stewart"

Aww another who’s affected by the barometer. Good to hear that you’re doing pretty good, despite that. It all started with the Harvest Moon, then the geese, there’s the most beautiful starry sky out there tonight. It’s awesome to see ourselves in terms of the universe (so tiny), yet so powerful (in terms of little bugs). [end "What is the meaning of life" rant] <smile> Hugs J

Yep, you is pretty great to be… So happy to hear from Pigmet and know that both you and Mair are doing well. Hugs to you both, J

Yeah, we’ve been in the new place about a month now.  Compared to the Hellhole House, this is great.  All the windows and doors actually work, I don’t have to strain anything to make them open and close.  I get a choice as to which hand to use.  Some of the shelves even roll out, so I don’t have to reach and stretch as much for things, and the cabnets are better laid-out than the old place.  And I can get my walker into all the rooms.  Actually, I can get the wheelchair into all the rooms if I have it in the house.  No ramp yet, though.  All in all, a much better place for me. The garage is full of boxes.  Very organized, but full of boxes.  Sigh. — Lee M.Thompson-Herbert        l…@retro.com            KoX 1995, SP4 Head Muso, White Rats Morris, Faultline Morris See my CafePress Shops: http://www.retro.com/employees/lee/CafePress.html "A head-on collision between Morticia Adams and Martha Stewart"

Response:

FYI… CELEBREX is a sulfa based drug I beleive, so it may be helping and harming you at the same time.  Anyone with lupus should avoid any food or medicine with sulfa or sulfites. Terrice

Response:

I have checked this site daily for the last month and as Beverly said, it is "dead" here >>LOL so I just never posted or had much time either. Since the biopsy came back NEGATIVE, I have been trying to get my body rid of this chest, (RIB) pain and back on track, but it is taking me awhile. Celebrex will kick in and then go from there, back to my walking machine with high hopes. We are also preparing for a trip to York Pennsylvania.  Going to a motor home rally and meet folks with motor homes like ours.  Never been to one so if this is too much, never again.  We will be on our own but there is lots to do and we, thankfully, do not have to do anything we can’t or won’t. That is a nice part. Then our DIL is due Oct now but they moved the due date up.  NOW watch it happend when we are on our way HOME .  Then we will go to their area in Ohio and stay at a RV park for a few days.  Another baby to hold. heheheh The Little one now is growing and doing ok but fighting intolerance to forumula and haveing diarrhea all the time.  even did with breast milk, now daughter can not do that, dried up early. well time to go.  I am hanging loose hugs to all janers

Response:

Hi Bev, I am here too. I agree, it has been very quiet around here. I keep meaning to tell you that I think you and G clean up very nicely. <g> What a lovely picture of the two of you. The pain from the shingles is almost gone. The last of the lesions are almost healed too. I am happy that is behind me. I have something else that has to be handled. It isn’t serious, but I do have to go to the hospital on the 27th to get that fixed. It has been a summer of one thing after another. We all seem to manage in our own way, so I am muddling along.

Hi all!  Haven’t been keeping track of the lupus news lately.  Guess I’ve been "hunkering down" too many times.  Sure is stressful.

Oh, no you too? I didn’t realize you were there too. I have too many friends down there.
