It is time for another update on the home front. It is Wednesday morning and I am starting day 8 without an antidepressent. I had to slide back on and then space it out a little more. I only have one pill left in the house. I am trying to push through and not take it. I am still having a few issues with the withdrawal – most notably the brain buzz and a woozy wobbly vertigo type feeling which comes and goes. But I am not having the issues I was having a couple of weeks ago with the inability to speak, so that is a plus.
Other than that – I am doing better. So much better. I went to the doctor yesterday for a follow up and while I have an increase in pain, my lupus is still in remission. let me shout that from the roof tops – REMISSION!!!!!! I have a vit D deficency which is pretty significant, but other than that, I am doing well. I am not being eaten slowly from the inside by rouge white blood cells. YAY!!!!!
I have been out more. Knitting more. Interacting with people more. It has been nice! Awesome even!!!
I should throw a pic of Rozz or Eva or some yarn up, but hey, that is a little more work than I can do at the moment
What? you want pictures every day? *sigh*

YAY!!!! for you! Well done with anti-depressants and what wonderful news about the lupus (or lack of thereof). I love your description of not being eaten inside out by out blood cells.
That’s wonderful news!!!! We will have to celebrate next week at the Fling. Safe travels and can’t wait to see you again.
