So, not knowing where to start or what exactly to say, I start here. Today 9/16/2010 was a rough day. I am in Colorado visiting family. Over the past two days here I have been experiencing an uncomfortable fog. I told my aunt that I felt like I got hit by a truck. She said "what concerns me is that you know what that feels like." I thought well she has a very good point there. That is something I for sure have never experienced. Here is what I do know, I have been taking hydroxychloroquine (plaquenil) for about 2 months now. I think that it might have finally got into my system (rhuemy said it would take 4-12 weeks). Making my stomach as well as my head feel awful. So much so that I wasn't even able to concentrate. The fatigue that I have been feeling these past couple days is almost incomparable. This sickness is something that I never thought I would go through, but am now having to endure every moment of this gruesome disease. Something lots of you will never have or probably ever hear about, until now. Let me take you on this journey with me, as I feel that the very purpose of all of this is for HIS glory!
For my aching joints I am using capsaicin hot patch. Which does feel like fire. Note to self: do not ever wipe a tear away again after using capsaicin on the joints (even if you did wash your hands prior to doing so)
