So I haven’t
updated my blog in ages but I promise from today on I will try my outmost best
to update it on a regular basis.
Since I last
up dated I was diagnosed with 2 other diseases:Sjogrens and OsteoporosisEmotionally and physically I’m not in a good space. My osteoporosis was brought on by my long term steroid treatment for my lupus. My bones are now very brittle and I have to be careful not to fall and fracture a bone. It will be detrimental to my body and the recovery period will be very long. From all the diseases I was diagnosed with the last 11 years being diagnosed with osteoporosis hit me the hardest. Because of Sjogrens my mouth is constantly dry and my tear ducks are dried out which means I don’t produce tears and I also don’t have any taste buds
I am not
questioning my Creator but I am only human and sometimes it all gets too much
for me. And I asked myself how much more pain must and can I still endure, what
is next on the list for me. Pain is hitting me from all over.Lupus,fibromyalgia,Sjogrens
and Osteoporosis are all causing pain. I always had my on and off days but now
it seems as if I have more on then off days. I go sleep with pain and wake up
with pain and its really getting to me.
But what can
I do…I must try to remain strong and positive even though it’s not always easy
just to ignore the discomfort and pain but I always tell myself Allah Swt won’t
give me anything I can’t handle and there is people that are worst off than me.
May Allah Swt may it easy for all the sick people,ease their pains and fill their hearts with sabr and contement Ameen In Shaa Allah
Sjogrens
Sjogrens syndrome is an autoimmune disease that mainly
affects the eyes and salivary glands, but can affect different parts of the
body. In more serious cases of sjorgen’s syndrome, the immune system can attack
other parts of the body, causing symptoms and conditions such as dry skin tiredness
and fatigue – which are common and can lead to total exhaustion, muscle pain, joint
pain, stiffness and swelling ,vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessels)
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis
is a bone condition that makes bones thinner and more fragile because of
reduced bone density, and it puts people at risk of fractures, especially of
the hip, spinal vertebrae and wrist. are some key points about osteoporosis. Postmenopausal women
are most likely to get the condition, but it also affects men and younger
people. There are risk factors for osteoporosis, including avoidable causes
such as smoking. There are no symptoms caused by the loss of bone density in
osteoporosis. Fractures are most likely in the spine, hip and wrists. Diagnosis
is made directly via a special X-ray-based scan, but sometimes ultrasound. Treatments
include drugs that prevent or slow down bone loss, exercise programs, and
dietary adjustments, including extra calcium and vitamin D.Taking measures to
avoid falls is important in the prevention of fractures in people who have
osteoporosis.
