Hi, I'm in need of prayers and support from my quilting buddies. I'm sick, really sick. I've pretty much stayed in bed for huge chunks of the day for the past week or so. I keep trying to rally and get up and do something amazing, but it's not working. My hair is falling out in chunks and strands. I've lost about half my hair in the past three weeks -- if I didn't have really thick hair to start with I'd have scalp showing by now, and I'm close as it is. Joints are really in pain. Balance is weird and I just feel weak, like maybe my arm might not support something I'm holding in my hand (and sometimes it doesn't). I don't feel like eating and when I do eat, it makes me nauseous. When I don't eat, same thing.
Going to the doctor tomorrow, but I don't expect much. I have lost 10 pounds over the past month or six weeks, but when he puts me on huge doses of prednisone, that's going to change. Bah. I'm just so tired. I can't even think about fabric. I can't plan anything, work on anything, cut fabric. I have tried to work on my crazy quilt, but I'm too tired to do that even.
My dh is worried and tired of worrying and frustrated. I'm just fed up. I need my energy, even what little I usually have.
So if you've got prayers and good thoughts and candles to light and just plain ol' love, I could use some. Sunny
