The wine I had last night relaxed me enough so that even though I was up 4 times last night I could at least get back to sleep. The Lupus flare pain is reducing today but the abdominal pain I'd had which was largely masked by the Lupus pain has intensified and having bladder and bowel issues. Really feel unwell today. Got into the GP and he feels it is pouchitis. I don't have a large bowel and they recreated a rectum for me out of my small bowel which they call a pouch. This lets me go like most other people, just a lot more. Anyway, he thinks it is infected since my entire abdomen is tender and I'm looking feverish. I asked him to try doing an ultrasound too as am worried about cysts on the other side but he wants me to do the meds first. Starting on super powerful cipro and flagyl and thinks I'll see some improvement by Friday if he is right. Hmmm, seems that the drugs will probably make me sick too so how the heck do you tell? Sure hope it isn't a bowel obstruction either. Really tired and sick and hoping I can get some work done today. So glad I am not on the road this week. Thanks everyone for your suggestions on yesterday's journal.
