Day 93. HLA

I forgot to post the results of my genetic testing awhile back. I do not have the gene that is associated with about 33% of Behcet's patients; HLA B51. The following is my HLA panel;

A2
A24
B13
B44
Cw5
Cw6

See what you can do with that.

Day 92. Something to do

I've decided that it's important to set some new goals for myself. It helps me to keep my mind occupied. I have some daily goals (which I've been failing at miserably lately) but I need some short/long term goals. For instance, I want to loose 6 pounds in the next 4 weeks, 1.5 pounds/week. I think this is a realistic and healthy goal. I also want to put in some new flower beds in my yard (pending energy levels). I also want to start belly dancing again (also pending energy levels). Not sure about the time period for the last couple goals but at least they're outlined in black and white now.

I've been feeling good lately. I lowered my dose of Imuran to 150mg's/day per the doctors orders. Not really seeing much of a difference. We had a 4th of July party this year and I enjoyed some drinks. The fact that I only had a few drinks and then don't remember anything for about 3 hours makes me think that Prozac and alcohol really isn't a good mix. Here's a small note for future reference; when the little label on your meds bottle says "avoid alcohol" they really mean it. Still recovering from that evening.

Day 91. Half way?

If I was going to stick to my idea of coming off the Imuran after 6 months yesterday would have been my half way point. I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. I'm trying not to loose my mind thinking about it. I'm anxious for September to come around so we can see what's going on with my lungs. I feel like I'm being selfish by wanting to have another baby. Maybe I should just be grateful that I already have two beautiful babies. I just always thought I would have more kids. I guess life doesn't always go the way you plan it.

Day 90. Giving Thankss!

Today I'm thankful for my wonderful friends and family! Happy 4th of July!!!

Day 89. Lots to say

I actually have a lot on my mind that I want to share but I've been crazy busy. Had company visiting and I'm selling fireworks for a friend at his stand. Plus we are having a big party at our house tomorrow for the 4th of July so I've been getting ready for that. I'm just tired and over exhausting myself.

Day 88.

too busy to blog

Day 87. Just to clearify

I will never become pregnant on the Imuran. This is my personal decision. It is a class D drug and many women have delivered healthy babies while taking it, I will not be one of them. The risk to the baby is too great for my comfort level.

Back to square one. Bull shit!
