Pretty sure the Hughes Syndrome is in an active phase again this week. My guess is that my immune system has taken a major hit with the holidays, stomach bug, and sinus infection in the last month. The immune system can only recover so quickly and mine seems to be slow on the uptake.
Basic symptoms.
Tired! Like falling asleep on the couch at 10pm or earlier every night. This is odd for me, we are usually midnight owls watching tv and reading books.
Nauseous and not feeling right on and off.
Some weird spells of fuzzy vision or spinning vision as I call it.
Right arm pain. Two days of it now, the bone deep grip feeling on my bicep.
Grumpy and impatient, despite being on meds. Yeah, I've lost my temper several times with the kids. That level of irritability is not normal.
So, now to sit back and see if this passes or if I'm going through another flare period that will last a month or two. A lot of sunshine and rest is ordered for this week. My plan is to take the kids to the park a LOT to help up my vitamin D. Added pomegranate juice to my diet every other day to get some extra antibodies in a natural form. And rest, the biggest lesson I've had to learn this year. SLEEP! If my body says sleep, obey.
