Lupus: Day 17 No Medication

I said I got this...and I stand by my convictions but WHAT A RIDE it has been. Seventeen days with no medication and does my body feel it. Wow. Increased joint and muscle pain, continued weight loss, neurological symptoms, and fatigue are all prevalent. Two more weeks with no medication and my doctors will run more tests to see where my illnesses have grown or increased. 

Due to the current condition and the most recent acknowledgement of the added illness I have decided it's time to put my motorcycle on the market. Despite the disappointment of realizing I need to sell my bike, I know it's the best and safest choice for me. On that note, doc wants to order me a wheelchair for the bad days when the neuropathy and joint pain become to painful and make it unsafe to walk. Not worth risking a fall and breaking a bone due to osteopenia, plus the mobility aid will help me maintain a semi-normal existence...so, I started shopping AND...I found out I can get an orange one...like my bike. Wheels are wheels. Ha ha.
