SherryeB's Journal, 12 Nov 21

Sometimes I feel like my body working against me...it's always something 😒 Often my knees & back have been painful in the past few weeks. I had UTI symptoms I had to get antibiotics for. Yesterday, I woke up with a rash & swelling along my eyelid & on my right hand. I took Benadryl that helped, but today the rash had spread. I had similar symptoms a year or so ago that I was told might be Shingles...in spite of the fact I've had the Shingles vaccine. There is a more effective one that was introduced that I haven't had, yet, After the rash started on the my left side (originally it was on my right side) I thought it probably wasn't Shingles. It's Friday...didn't want it to get worse over the weekend. My doctor's office wasn't able to fit me in so I went to the Urgent Care affiliated with the same group. I am highly allergic to poison ivy. I was handling gardening tools, gloves & potting stuff earlier this week, cleaning up for the season. I may have been exposed to something on them that caused the breakout. I got a steroid shot & a prescription for steroids. It's frustrating I'm trying to live healthier and crap still happens to derail my day.

My sister & I were supposed to get together tomorrow to go to a Christmas open house kickoff @ a local antique market, lunch and maybe more shopping. She hurt her back and has been suffering this week. Not sure if we're still on or not.

I didn't defrost/plan anything for dinner so I think I'm going to use the ground beef left from the burgers a couple of days ago to make a cheeseburger salad.

Gonna feed the dogs & get on with dinner....

Oh and the slight gain....Pizza....I'm OK with that.

I would have thought allergic to the antibiotic to treat the UTI. Third friend this week with a UTI- must be something in the air. I have a hard enough time accomplishing my goals when everything is perfect, let alone when it starts getting messy. Hope everything works out and you can still do fun Christmas stuff.

Feel better soon! The knee pain could be from the colder weather or fronts moving through. The past couple of days mine have been screaming, too. Hope the rash clears up soon!

Sorry Sherry, hang in there. It does feel like it’s always something. Wish I had better words.

Thank you for the encouraging words, Shir, Goddess, DP, Liz & Kat. 💖 Feeling less whiny this morning. I do still look like crap...eyelid still red & slightly swollen & a couple of splotches on my face & hand 😒 My knees & back have been feeling better. DP, I think I finished the antibiotics in enough time before the rash that they're not to be blamed. Sis is feeling better, too. We're meeting in a couple of hours to do our thing. It's a gorgeous Fall day!

Next week will be better. I hope you both bounce back. Not much can keep sisters down for long. I know because mine really is my BFF.
