FLARE, FLARE, FLARE ~~~ BIG TIME

What brings on a Lupus flare?  No one (medical community) really knows what brings a flare on. 

One web site says:

What can trigger lupus?

It is believed that certain things may trigger the onset of lupus or cause lupus to flare, these include- Ultraviolet light, certain prescription drugs & antibiotics, infections or viruses, hormones & stress.

There are a myriad of things that can cause a flare.  I never know what is going to trigger one or when one will occur.

So right now I am hurting.  I am experiencing paralyzing fatigue.  My head is pounding.  My mouth is full of sores.  And my bowels are going crazy. 

I can't take much more of this.  I am going crazy.

LIFE IS GOOD ~~ SO WHY?

Life is good.  We are building our dream house.  I am here in SC with my family.  Holidays are wonderful because we get to spend them with my brother and his wonderful family.

So could someone please tell me why I am sad.  Why am I crying all the time?  Why am I so irritable?
