Finally real winter came to Helsinki. And it was not even so cold yesterday. Just about minus 5 degrees. It would be so nice to be out of the city. And the sun is shining right now.
But having two small kids means that you can avoid having flu. You can do whatever I have written but if the kid comes from daycare with flu, through that she got flu vaccination, and she gives a cough directly on your face, you can be 100 per cent sure you that you got it. But the world around you doesn't stop.
Which is a problem. With lupus or scleroderma, the imunne system is hyperactive attacking your body as it would be enemy, however with the medication, such as prednisone, the imunne system is suppressed, so your body has much harder time to fight with any infection. So even any little cold or flu take much more time, and typically has harder progression. Also there is always risk of complications.
So, medication is taking its place. But I really use whatever else could help, for example honey and lemon. I am out of ginger right now. Which is quite sad. Good healthy meal do not help only as a energetic supply but also as a positive charger. Sleep would be the best, but that's what I am lacking the most. I am so tired. I am having terrible headaches everyday. And the painkillers do not really help. Sometimes I fill my thermo bottle with warm water and I try to relax.
Have a nice day!!
