I am not sure but I think we are seeing improvement. I am better able to think and my visual has reconnected with my brain. I did 4 of the 7 assignments I was behind in one of my classes- the only one I am staying in this semester. I have a midterm to do but I think I can pass. I will eventually catch up but to do 4 assignments even if it was the easy ones is a big deal. I even feel a little better, the nausea is lessening. I am wondering if maybe the cellcept might not be able to push me into a remission if we keep at it. If nothing else it looks like it will only be 2-3 months of this. That is wonderful. I still have to do a bunch of testing to for my neuro issues but I think I can deal with it better. I am coping better with Alexander when I can sleep- yesterday I functioned on 2 hours then last night he let me get 3 hours. Hubby let me have a long nap- 5 hours this afternoon/evening. Alexander is sick along with me and so he is even more fussy than normal. What was a virus caused me to develop mild broncitis (bacterial) so I am on levaquin since my allergies make antibiotics difficult. 14 days on it but so what as long as I avoid pnemonia this year I am happy. Alexander has a true virus and it is affecting his tummy as is to be expected with a child whose reflux is as bad as his is. If you can't tell I am more co-herent even if my thoughts jump around a bit now.
I just wanted to share because this is such good news.
On a depressing note I have had to face the fact I need to change my dreams to fit my current abilities. That means serious changes to my degree plan and not getting certified in archival administration because on campus classes are beyond my capabilities. I also have to face the fact I will never be able to hold down a regular job. My hope was this degree would mean I could work 20 hours a week. Hubby has been realistic all along and never expected I would be able to work. I may be able to freelance a few hours here and there when I am feeling well. Oh well, that just means Alexander will never spend hours every week in daycare and I don't have to worry about homeschooling around a work schedule. It still makes me sad. I have changed my dreams so many times because of this disease. Now I have to change them again. I hate changing my dreams just because I have lupus. I guess that is why my subject line is so iffy on if my news is good or not because being able to think more clearly brought all this home to me.
