Busy Crazy Week with Lupus

This week has been a tough one. I've been trying to get over a upper respitory and having a lupus flare. I don't know if it will ever end this  winter. I went to another specialist this week. I have been going to him for over a year.He's a good listener and reacter, which makes for a good doctor. I don't go back to hime for another 6 months. I still have to contiue to go to my other specialists in the mean time. I get so sick of doctors offices. If I got paid to go to the doctor I would be rich. (ha ha). I think the tring to explain your symptoms to a doctor can be so hard. THis time I made sure I wrote down what was going on so he knew. He did changed one of my medicines around and made some suggestions. He did his typical poke and prode on me. This makes me want to thump him. I told him that everytime he pokes and prodes I usually end up in a lupus flare. I've been feeling like I am walking a marathon just walking across the floor. It plain old sucks. I can't say it any better then "LUPUS SUCKS".

My Experience With Car Insurance

Buying car insurance takes a lot of thought. It’s not an easy decision to make. Some people think it’s a simple decision, but really its not. Being someone that’s been in a few fender benders I’ve learned from experience. One of the accidents I was sitting at a stop light minding my business when I was hit by five other cars, I totally freaked. I froze like time was standing still. The trip to the ER in an ambulance was not an easy trip. I was lucky that my deductible was five hundred dollars, compared with two thousand dollars or more. It was still a struggle just to pay five hundred dollars. My car insurance company was helpful in some ways. They did follow up on my car and chose a body shop for my car to be fixed. Once I paid the deductible the car was fixed up. It took me longer to recover from the accident, then my car. My car insurance company gave me a rental car for the time my car was in the shop. I was glad I had rental car coverage. Not all car insurance policies have rental coverage. After, a long recovery I was able to return to work. I’ve never been the same since this car accident. When deciding on Commercial Insurance, you should check the deductibles, coverage amount, and for rental coverage.

Crazy Nerves and Peer Preasure

It’s been a crazy week. I’ve been dealing with a lot with tests this week. My nerves have been on edge. It’s been really hard staying calm and having a positive attitude. I am hoping and praying my test results are good. I want to feel optimistic, but that’s very hard with all I’ve dealt with in the past from the lupus. I’m praying my test results are good. I have to pray to God everything will be all right.

My daughter has had a difficult time with school this week. I think the older kids get the worse the peer pressure. I think sometimes these kids have grown up in a pressure cooker and it’s ready to blow. The longer it cooks the worst it gets and the less that’s left in the end. I think school is so much harder for kids now a day because everything seems to be in fast motion. It’s not the days of going in with flow. Its lets see who can get to the finish line the quickest. Who really knows where this finish line is.

Improving Your Bad Credit

bad credit credit cards is a place for people with less then perfect credit to get credit cards, home loans, auto loans and personal loans. When my friend Michelle was trying to rebuild her credit she did not know where to go for help. She applied for a secure credit card and was able to get a credit card. She had to secure funds for the credit card, but in one year her credit was improved. During this time she had to make payments on time. At this time, the company returned her money and she kept the credit card. She was able to begin rebuilding her credit. As time went on her credit was restored so she qualified for non-secure credit cards.

Coping WIth Lupus and Other People's Reactions

I think the hardest thing about living with lupus is people’s reaction. Many people have asked me how I caught it. I have to hold myself back when people say this. I have to remember that many people don’t understand what lupus is. I’ve had a lot of say you don’t look sick. I have asked people, what does a person with cancer look like? Usually people look at me puzzled. Well someone with many chronic illnesses is the same.

We don’t ask for this illness. It is something we have to learn to deal with like it or not. The longer I’ve lived with lupus don’t make it easier to deal with. I’ve learned just cause this day is crappy don’t mean tomorrow will be crappy. It’s the only way I’ve learned to cope with this illness. Lupus may suck, but I have to fight to not allow it to define me.

Weighting the Pros and Cons of Plastic Surgery

Cosmetic surgery is becoming more accepted by everyone.Its becoming the normal.There are two different types of cosmetic surgery. There are the people who do it to slow the ageing process and then there are the people who do it to fix a flaw in their body. I believe the lack of acceptance of our bodies is giving teenage girls the wrong message. Yes, I believe that if you are totally sure you should go ahead with the surgery. But you shouldn’t do the surgery, if it’s not necessary. You should think hard, weighting the pros and cons of the surgery. The choice of having cosmetic surgery is a difficult choice. Some people have Liposuction to remove excess fat and other people have a breast reduction to remove excess breast tissue. You should take your time making this choice.

Dealing With A Teenager and Lupus

My daughter went to her first tae kwon do tournament today. She’s not participating in the event today because she wanted to watch. I can’t blame her for wanting to see what she’s getting into. She was thrilled to see people sparring with swords. She saw it as an exciting event. She has been gone all day and I do miss her, but I’m glad she’s having a good time. I am glad she’s enjoying herself. I have her in tae kwon do to help her defend herself. She’s done so much better by taking these classes. Its helped her not put up with the bullying from last year. These kids were her friends and they turned on her. I have a bright young lady and she’s extra special to me.

I am tired because we had to get up early before the bird to take her there. I am not a morning person because of insomnia and my pain levels keeping me awake. I don’t understand why my pain levels are so much higher at night. It’s been a really long winter so I’m looking forward to spring I think. I will be glad to sleep in tomorrow to try and catch up on my sleep. I still get up with my daughter to go to school, even thought she don’t like it. I have to watch what she goes out the door wearing. She likes to over do the eye make up. I won’t allow her to over do any make up. I think teenage girls are wearing way to much make up and it takes away their natural beauty.
