Trying to stay upbeat and realistic in the face of Systemic Lupus Erythematosis and optimistic about a new treatment. Time to get healthy!

Checking In...
It has been almost 3 weeks since my last infusion – it’s been quite a ride. I am almost afraid to say these things out loud for fear of jinxing it ( I know that I’ve said this before). However, I have to report that I woke up today feeling - dare I say it – GOOD! No stiffness or pain in my joints and no nausea!! I am a bit jittery but my energy level feels higher than it has for quite a while. 8 out of 10 I would say!
The only negative is that I think I had a mood swing this morning. I lost my temper over something trivial and had a minor rant. My poor husband. Sometimes I wonder how he can stand me. I got over it pretty quickly and it was only a bit later that I realized that I might have had a mood swing – it’s one of the things I’ve been warned about as a possible side effect on this new medication. Hmmm. Hope it’s not part of the new normal.
The bottom line for today, though, is that at this moment – I feel pretty good!
