First of all, I want to say sorry for not being around for a while, everything's been very hectic here recently.
To start on a happier note, I passed my first year of uni
after a bad year, i was surprised, and got a lot better marks then i was expecting by far.
Now for the dismal bit.
I started to flare minorly back in january after getting meningitis, but in the past few weeks it's been getting worse and worse. My face is covered in skin lesions, joints all swollen and painful, mouth full of ulcers and I'm so tired, I just want to go back bed.
Anyway, saw my doc yesterday, and she's changed my arava to cellcept starting at 500mg daily to increase by 250mg every 2 weeks until i hit 2g. Not sure what to expect on this med, any ideas will be much appreciated.
I now have about 3 months to recuperate and try to bring it back under control before starting my second year, so thankful I dont have to do any resits.
As I mentioned a while ago, my mum's been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Yesterday she went into the local Hospice as she's been suffering with a lot of pain, so they've taken her in to see if they could sort it, and gives us all a break. However mum's spirits are still as good as ever, but if we didnt laugh we'd cry. The cancer's spreading through her skeleton but doesnt seem to have got to any organ's yet.
Though it's hard work, we're all sticking together and coping, just, we'll get there in the end.
