OMG - you had me worried there.
I actually looked up the symptoms.

Quote:
Although there are many possible manifestations of lupus, those listed below are some of the more common. Lupus is a disease which can present many different facets, rarely do two people have exactly the same symptoms, and these can vary from just one to many.

- Extreme fatigue and weakness
- Rashes from sunlight/UV light
- Parental indifference
- Weight gain
- Increased sensitivity to cat sick
- Seizures, mental illness or other cerebral problems
- Poor grasp of finances
- Hair loss
- Paroxysms of hacking coughs that leave you suspiciously damp in the crotch
- Headaches, migraine
- More coughing
- Having to spit in the sink like an old giffer

A person with lupus may have four or five symptoms, where some of these might recede and/or others develop.
Then I realised it was a joke about House.

One of my friends has lupus. Those symptoms are pretty much right for her condition although so far no seizures.

It's a pretty sucky disorder.

She's actually the one with the alcoholic daughter that I mentioned somewhere around here.

Said daughter has been in a detox clinic for two days now. At the end of the week, when she's finished detoxing (hopefully) she'll be going into a rehab program for the next 10 months.

This is all very good if she will stick at it.

Skyline Women's polo: CHAMPIONS. of the Saline MI Varsity invitational. Wondering how many Milfords there are in Ohio, though. Because they came to the tourney and it seems an awful long way to come from near Cinci, which is what mapquest suggests.... There were the three Ann Arbor teams, two from neighboring cities (one being the host), three from Detroit suburbs, one weaker team from the west coast of MI (understanderble -the polo is ferocious there, they'd get eaten alive in local tournaments).

Just found the official MI High School Girls website. Skyline are ranked 3rd in the state, after two of the ferocious west coast teams. Rightly so .

Yes, I have paperwork i should be doing.

Sorry, the lupus post was meant as a joke.
I did copy some of the real symptoms over, but I interspersed them with some of mine.

I always knew it was a House ref.

I couldn't find a thread about a 'movie I saw and a tv show I just discovered.'

Went to theatre to see A Cabin in the Woods. Not as scary as id hoped. More monster movie than scary but rather clever. It was worth seeing in the theatre.

I watched The Others here at home last night, which fulfills my desire for creepy surprises and eeriness better.

Now, has anyone ever watched Raising Hope? I watched some eps on free on demand today and omg what a funny show! And that girl from garfunkel and oates is on it. Great double ep with Nancy Grace basically lampooning herself, in a show about the serial killer mother of Hope. Quirky.

Never watched it, though always intended to. Can't recall what drew me to it when it was first being talked about...probably one of the lesser roles is an actor I like ;p

'Nother Health Update

Saw a different Doctor today.
He put me back on steroids but on a higher dose.
And I have a different inhaler (a powder one I think he said?) which I have to use twice a day. You click the base round and breathe it in.

I still have a respiratory infection and an appointment to go back on Friday when the current antibiotic course finishes, to see if I need another course.

It's cost a fortune in prescription fees, but that's a relative fortune. £7.65 (per item) is nothing compared to the cost of the medicine I guess. And Mum bought today's for me.

Told school I am unlikely to be in this week, because it's easier for them not to wonder day in and day out but adjust their planning accordingly. I will be able to get a certificate from the Doctor no problem as I've been treated for two weeks already, so I'm in the system.

Oh and when this has all cleared up, the Doctor I saw today wants to run me through a series of tests to see if I have asthma. He is the third one I have surprised with my asthma denial. And he thinks it might be why I have a new habit of having a terrible cough after a minor cold. Progress I suppose.

Lupus still not on the table though.

Sundae, if you're expecting a few of these prescriptions,. might be worth getting a 3 month prepay certificate. They cost about £28 I think. Unlimited use during the cover period. Can do it online and set the date you want it to start.


[eta] Here's a link:

Don't actually need your NHS number btw to apply, it's just an optional. Costs £29.50 for 3 months.

I know.
In hindsight I really should have done. But I did not expect five prescriptions in two weeks when I first went. No-one expects etc etc

Fingers crossed this will be the end of the medicines.
The steroids were a big help last time, and the antibiotics have at least cut down on the mucus.

yeah I get caught out like that a lot. My other brilliant trick is to fork out for a prepay certificate (I get the yearly one now) and then forget to put in a request for routine stuff (48 hours ahead of need) and end up buying the over the counter version for immediacy, despite having already effectively paid for the damn stuff through the certificate :p
