Gardening, Flares, and Life in General

June 21st, 2008

Last few days, have been ruffs. I’ve been have an awful pain in my extremities. My muscles felt like they were rocks. It was unreal because it was a struggle just to stand up. I thought I was going to lose my mind. When the lupus knocks me on my behind, it’s a struggle to get back up. Slowly, I’m regaining my strength. I always worry that I won’t regain my strength. I updated my message board because I was getting some horrible spam videos. I managed to discontinue it. I have a couple of polls on my message board; one is for a name of a cook book and another is a chronic illness poll. Please stop by and register and leave me a line. It looks inactive, but it’s just starting to wake up- a work in progress. My container garden is coming along well. I have one pepper about the size of a small pearl onion. I added a few more things; strawberries (my favorite), cucumber and brussel sprouts. I know what a lot of you are probably saying Yuck!! Brussel sprouts. I read somewhere they taste better out of your own garden, then store bought.

I’m a big fan of brussell sprouts. Have you ever tried roasting them in the oven? Yummy.

I understand the worry, I get that too. It’s so strong, like it’s own physical symptom, and harder to deal with when I’m already feeling wiped out. I’ll be sure to check out the message board.

We are thesame. I have lupus too. Actually right now I feel very weak to walk. I got ache in my muscles. Feels like bruising but not blackened. Take an extra care….I know it is really tough. Young but feeling like 80 y.o. TC. Feel free to email me at your most painfree day. Hugs…Maria
