Yeah! Coping… This is my first official entry and I am looking forward to just getting a few things off my chest.

Some of you may know that I have been quite ill as of late, my symptoms include…
-hives
-discoloration
-head aches
-swollen lymph nodes
-swollen feet and hands (my hands mean so much to me, especially with my art)
-skin irritations leading to burning, like a sun burn melting into my muscles
-muscle cramping of the upper body (above my waist into my arms)
-joint pain (like arthritis)

So this has just been so much fun for me, I don’t think I left anything out, but as you can clearly see what does it matter as I am having so many problems.
My allergist Dr. Mjaanes first thought Lymes, I was terrified. I took a blood test, gave them 5 large vials of my blood ^_^ (I have a thing about blood, shh). Anyways today my dad had to bring my mother in to also see this allergist, as she has been having just the hives. She was diagnosed at first with an immune deficiency. The good doctor decided the diagnosis was wrong after us believing this to be her problem, further tests are being administrated.
On Monday, dad got a call from the nurse at Mjaanes office she was happy to announce no Lymes, and now today, Tuesday, Mjaanes said all the test results were not back in. My dad was in an outrage and was sure to tell the doctor that the nurse told him I was negative, Mjaanes smiled and said well then let’s schedule Lys for an appointment next week to have a punch test (biopsy). So next Wednesday I go in…
Right now I have little to no faith in them finding anything out if the doctor didn’t even know that I was fine. I am so unhappy with all of this and feeling miserable, I can seem to type but to hold a pencil, it ache’s my joints something fierce as my hands can’t grasp the contour.

I am informing in this Entry that I will not be taking any commissions until this is all sorted out, I regret to inform this as I love art and what better way to express it than helping others out and being their guiding hands to a project of their own. Something is special about that to me and I take pride in my work and making sure clients are happy with the product I have produced. I will be notifying my current clients of the unfortunate, not looking forward to it, but it’s unfair for them to wait upon art that may not be done for I don’t know how long.

And then Christmas, I am supposed to go to Mikal’s this Christmas and spend it with him and his family, this wont be happening. I feel so bad, but being the sweet heart he is he will be coming to stay with me at my home, helping to take care of me and keep the mob scene that will be down stairs at bay for my recovery. I will never be able to thank my sweetness enough.
There is also quite a bit of drama linked in the family; somehow I got tossed in the middle so Mikal will have to be my muscle. I suppose I will write about these events after the matter if anything goes out of whack. Odds are I will talk about the situation anyways, but not in this Entry.

Maybe I will write more later, but for now my head wants to explode so I am going to pop 2 Advil and watch my movie. Wish me luck on my recovery and finding out what in the world is wrong ^_^. Much Love, Lys
