Maybe I'm being overly sensitive but......

I hope it wasnt my comment.
I hope it wasnt my comment. for myself I feel you have alredy had cancer and dont want you to be diagnosed with anything else. but if you are I am glad it is something that can be managed and found early. Lupus is not an easy illness to have either. I like to know how you are doing and am praying for a good bone scan result.

All I know
is being diagnosed with early anything is scary, and waiting for bone scan results even more scary. Who knows if you're being overly sensitive -- our feelings are our feelings.

I'm glad you're posting because I've been "tracking" you. Sounds like you're not feeling good and having all kinds of symptoms.

Take good care of yourself -- looks like you are -- and know that we care and we're paying attention. Oh, and sorry about your daughter's diagnosis, though I confess to knowing nothing about lupus so I don't know the gravity of such a diagnosis.

Big huge hug to you from west coast to east coast:)

That is the problem with
That is the problem with posting instead of talking directly to a person. The message does get misunderstood sometimes. From both sides. But a person can get misunderstood in person also. It happens to everyone. I've found when I talk about things the other person doesn't know about, it's more apt to be misunderstood.

It's not you
Wanda,

I read the posts earlier and thought the same thing on some of them. I don't think they meant any harm but some of them did sound odd. I myself have Rhumatoid Arthritis (sp?) which is a sister disease of Lupus. Some of my aunts have Lupus. I have had my RA for 10 years, longer than my cancer. I wish you the best with all of it.

Terry

I read the posts too and
I read the posts too and kind of thought as you did Wanda. I have seen other posts on here from a few, 2 in particular, that seem to attack newbies if they don't give enough info or sound different than they do, or, don't have their "about me" page filled all out perfect, and I've always thought how hateful their comments were. But..some are just like that, and, I just assume that they are miserable in their lives and need to take it out on someone.


I will be praying for you Wanda.


Hugs, Lex

Hi Terry,
Thanks. I was
Hi Terry,
Thanks. I was being tested for RA in the first place as a cause for the effusions in both hips. I'm not being treated for Lupus yet so I guess he just wants to see if more symptoms develop but I am sorry about your RA because I know first hand that it can be a rough road.
My RF ( rhum factor ) must have been okay.
On another post women were asking me how I made out so I posted.
Guess I'll just be more careful of what I say.
Thanks again,
Wanda

Watch any Infections
Hi Wanda,

If you get any cuts or sores please be aware to watch for infections. Autoimmune difficiancy diseases make it harder to heal. My second cancer I had surgery and fought infection for 2 years (my surgical sight wasn't healing well). I'm on ciproflaxin for life now. You can always PM me if you need to talk. Don't worry about what you say. The board is made for venting. Vent away.

Terry

You should always be able to
You should always be able to voice your concerns or opinions here Wanda without worry. I am proud of you for posting this and I hope that you feel better now. I will put you in my prayers.


Hugs, Kylez

Penny.too funny about Victoria!
You made me laugh!
Thanks.

What a relief
to know that I can now stalk openly! No more sleuthiness. All that hiding and jotting things down in notebooks -- it's been hard to keep up with everything.

Kidding aside, let is know about your bone scan when you get a chance. Hopefully you know now how loved you are:)

See how it works
By openly posting about you aprehensions you allowed another to explain motives. That was good because your initial post allowed her to explore another issue she may be suffering from. This is why it is always good to say what you feel without aprehension. The exception to this rule would be axe murderers, and those trying to sell us some voodoo cure that has no scientific proof. It seems as though the air is cleared.
