Tonight at work, I got back from break and I had a sudden VERY sharp pain in my left side of my body. It took my breath away.
A few moments later, it started to wrap around to my back and kind of up into my shoulder blade. This was like nothing I have ever felt before!
I stuck out my entire shift at work regardless of how excruciating this was because I now know that I will forever live my life as a "Lupus warrior." I can not give in every time that I am in excruciating pain. I have to keep building my pain tolerance to the point that I can sustain and handle any level of pain thrown at me. Because I have one life to live, ONE. There is no "Pause" button for me to hit just because I am in pain. It's now or never! And my bill collectors wont let me hit "pause" either. LOL
Right after work, I headed over to the 24 hour UMC quick care. I found out that they don't handle these ailments. Only the ER does. Unfortunately the ER co-pay went up to $350.00 per visit now. Who can afford that?
OMG Lupus, Really??
