Returning to teaching is never easy, especially since I am still struggling with an infection, enlarged spleen, kidney problems, and my voice is still shaky after losing it for 3 weeks! My Lupus body is fighting something. Cellcept suppresses my immune system, so it is hitting me hard. But I get one of the best jobs with 2 weeks off to rest and recover and I am grateful.
Doctor visit went well. She saw my concern. My situation is a wasting away disease with no cure but to address the sickness that is causing it.
These pics are a couple years apart but you can see my concern. This size is not me.
I am getting a chest xray, liver screen, kidney screen, cardiac screen, thyroid screen and tons of bloodwork. 9 vials. If all this comes back inconclusive then we will treat the Rheumatoid Arthritis or and Lupus.
So now we wait.
