Peek-A-Boo!

[NikkiNicole]

Hi Guys!

I took a bit of a sabbatical from the site, I'm sorry. I've been busy with work, training new people and haven't had the time to peek in. I've been desperately trying to live like I wasn't sick. However, I did make some positive changes.
I started a "eating" plan on April 27th. It's basically just protein and veggies. Eggs for breakfast, chicken or something and veggies for lunch and dinner. I have a hardboiled egg for a snack, some low fat string cheese or pickles. As much leafy greens as I want, etc. It's been 15 days, I am down 16 lbs of Prednisone weight, I haven't had sugar in 15 days (fruit is a no-no) and I walk almost daily. Today I went to a Zumba class with a friend and I am exhausted!!! I'm going to have some corn on the cob with dinner as an extra thing. It's the little things ...
As for me? Well, guess who still hasn't been able to get rid of the UTI or Kidney Infection or whatever they want to call it? Not to mention I have a case of ringworm on the back of my thighs that hurts and itches and is KILLING me (not to mention it's ugly). Also, my damn ears. If I take in a deep breath, or exercise or yawn, my ears get clogged the way they were when I had to have tubes put in. SOmetimes it stays that way for HOURS. ... I'll be seeing the ol' GP on Thursday so that I can talk to her, and then go to the ENT, the dermatologist, etc. I see myself peeing in a cup in the future.

Still working too much, unfortunately. But, I have become really good at sleeping so ... the working so much doesn't seem like too much of a problem at this point.

I am in a never ending battle with the monster that is Wegener's/GPA. At least I'm strong ... I'll fight as long as it takes.

I hope you are ALL well, I look forward to catching up with everyone!!

Glad you're back, Nikki! Judging from the more positive tone of your post, you seem to be getting better.

I am forcing myself to be positive. However, I feel pretty crappy ... but, I am trying not to dwell on that!

The blog can be found at Nightmares in Wonderland I am trying to write in it more. I'm also trying to not make it so whiny like it was in the beginning. Positivity helps illness right?
