Lucas out in the sun on Sunday.And no Im not talking about just the sinus infection. Some days I just wish that if I had a cold I could just get over it. That if I got a cut it would heal in a matter of days.
But no I have to keep pumping in drugs to kill my immune system, week after week. I know Im not dieing of Cancer, I do keep it in a bit of perspective, but sometimes living with RA sucks.
I finlay got though to my family Doctor today and he brought me in for a quick check up after work. The old antibiotics that were causing my rash/hives (which, by the way have left tiny pinpricks of scabs all over my legs and arms) were also not helping my sinus infection. Yeah its worse. Its now moved into my ears (which is a huge problem for me as Ive had serious issues with my ears since I was a kid)
SOOO now I'm on a different kind of antibiotic, which he hopes will help. I have to call him on Thursday/Friday and let him know how I feel. The next step will involve the hospital in some shape or form so cross your fingers this will help me feel better. My lymph nodes under my ears were also swollen which kinda freaked me out, as that is how we discovered the lump on my thyroid in the first place...
Im also putting my self on restriced Lucas working until I get on the upswing of this thing... not that I wont go out to the barn, but the days its below -15 I should really be staying home for the time being. On a good note, Lucas finally got to go out again yesterday, which makes me feel better if I cant get to the barn every day. He handled it very well, and kept all of his shoes on! So hes back going outside for a couple of hours every day which will make him so much happier!

Hope you feel better - ear problems are the worst.
I'm sorry you have to go through this... I'm frustrated and I'm only reading about what you have to go through. I can't imagine living with it each day. I hope you're feeling much better soon!!
I think it's a good idea for you to get some rest. Lucas will get to enjoy his time outside and you guys can just hang out for a bit.
We need you both better for show season! :)
Being sick for an extended period of time just wears you down. Winter probably doesn't help either. I hope that the new antibiotic gives you some relief, the sooner the better. Take care.
Thanks girls it was just a really tough day yesterday. I really appreaciate the kind words. :)
