Diagnosed Again
So...I am trying to digest the fact that I'm basically a walking combination of sickness. Not only am I one of the few and rare people that has been lucky enough to be diagnosed with both types of Lupus, I've got a shitload of other illnesses to add to the list. A year after I got diagnosed with Lupus, I was diagnosed with High Blood Pressure and started batteling kidney issues. I thought that was the end of it. But last Friday, my doctor has presented me with a few more illnesses that I possess. There are issues with my thyroid, I am anemic, and I have high cholesterol. I am also borderline diabetic, and there's a chance my asthma symptoms have been triggered. Currently, I take 11 pills. Some twice a day, some three times a day. I so do not feel like I am 23 years old. I feel like I'm 80 or something. My doctor has also informed me that currently, my white blood cells are low, so I am vulnerable to bacteria and viruses right now. That saying "when it rains, it pours" is currently reapeating in my head. I really have no choice but to tackle all these illnesses head on and stay positive. But the task seems a bit daunting. I so can't wait until everything is under control and I can live my everyday "normal" life again.
