Meltdown

Today we went for our tests for various NEW diseases -- Alan and I -- me for lupus, he for thyroid and something else. The nurse had to take more blood from me than from him -- that's a first. No problem though. I still have good veins. I wonder if I get really sick how long that will last.

But by the time we got home I was having a full-blown "flare up" of whatever is wrong with me. I'm in agony (again). I'm on fire, it feels like. Actually, it feels like a really, really bad, hot flash that won't quit, along with someone using a hammer on all my joints. There, how's that for a description.

Well, we'll wait and see what the tests say. For now, I'm going back to bed to try to get some sort of comfortable.
