I've got a blue card!

*sings* I have a blue card! I have a blue card! :-)

I now have a (blue) card which I can't go out with out... Written on the front in big bold letters - I AM A PATIENT ON STEROID TREATMENT WHICH MUST NOT BE STOPPED SUDDENLY I have no idea why I find this amusing but I do!

I was at the Doctors last night for more blood tests, being a typical Jock I was being tight and didn't want to give any! The nurse had one attempt, then the Doctor had two... One thing's for sure - I am a challenge!

I am feeling in pretty good spirits, I feel positive, that I'm ready to take this whole thing on. Last night, the nurse wrote Systemic Lupus Erythematosus instead of M.E./?Lupus - that actually felt suprisingly good, even if it does mean I have a "real label"

Physically, I am feeling a bit battered and bruised, and pretty worn out but I am still resting up, taking things easy.

Dean is coming up on Monday, which is great, I'll be pamperered and I'll be able to keep up with his appetite for once - 60mg steroids have to have their uses! He was going to try and be up in time to take me to Paul's Dad's funeral but that is at 10am so I don't think I'll make it :-(

I'll speak to you all later!

Love and hugs

Anne xx
