update and a few ?'s

[Guest guest]

Hello to everyone and welcome to all the newbies. I know that I don't post much but I do read all of the emails I get from the board. Thanks to all who gave me the wonderful ideas for my vacation. We are going to take a cruise for 7 days!!! We will have ports in Key West, Cozumel, Greand Caymens and a private island called Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas. We leave May 1st so I'll be on board on our anniversary and birthday! We can't wait! Now to my health. It's failing me faster than I thought. All my test came back "normal" for a person with lupus. They did another skin bx on my breast and guess what? It's lupus!! DUHH! My dr put me on htcz for my B/P. Does anyone know how long it takes for that stuff to work? I've been taking it for 4 days and my B/P is still up. Last night it was 176/146!! That scared me. This am it was 150/100. Better but not good. I'll give it another few days the call my dr. One of my questions is, does anybody know of a site that you can put in all of your rx's and it will give you best times of the day to take it and what not to take together? I could look it up in my pdr but my brain isn't funcionting like it should these days and I thought it would be easier to just type them all in and let the puter do the rest. Now to the embarrising question, I went straight to yahoo to get on the board and it told me that I wasn't a member of this group anymore. I know at one time I had to get a second address because my pc crashed and I couldn't remember my log in name. Could you help me with this? Now to my last comment. I have stayed out of all of the controversey lately but I want to make a breif comment on the issue. RULES ARE RULES! No one on this board needs any more stress than we already have, so "Can't we all just get along?" I think you guys all do a wonderful service to us and I'm thankful that I have a place to go where the info on this disease is free-flowing and people care and understand what you are going through. Thank you EVERYBODY!!!! Hugs and kisses, Helen
