I am new to this board and just feel the need to chat with others that are dealing with lupus. I have not been officially diagnosed with lupus, but have been told I have an autoimmune disease. Chances are pretty good for lupus as my mother has it also. As my doctor told me at my last appointment, we are waiting for the other shoe to drop so she can make it official.
Well, it may have dropped now. I am running a low grade fever almost every day, feeling very tired, and seem to have the classic rash on my cheeks. All this may be a flare up due to my pregnancy, but boy am I exhausted. I have a six year old boy, a fifteen month old girl and another on the way, so down time is non-existent. I think my husband is tired of hearing how tired I am. I haven't told many of my friends that I have this problem and even the ones I have told, they just don't get it.
People ask if I'm excited about this baby or what am I doing to get ready and the truth is, I just need to concentrate on getting through each day. I don't have the energy to do more then that. I can't actually tell people that of course, so I just smile and say I'm busy with the two I have.
I guess I just need to vent to people that understand.
